Slingshot is an item that lets you throw cakes, spawn eggs (on creative), fire charges, and more. It has the same use as bow, but faster and weaker.
Crafting[]
Two wood planks in the middle and the middle bottom piece, and a wood plank on each corner of the top section. A string intersects the two planks.
Use[]
A new long-range weapon, faster than a bow, but weaker. Can easily be used to knock down beehives. You do not have to craft something to throw.
