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.
Crafting recipe.
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.
