Ever look at a shovel and think “is this should be a weapon?" Same.
Hold right-click to raise your shovel overhead (you move 25% slower while charging), then release to smash whatever’s in front of you. Mobs hit by the smash take damage based on shovel tier and get slowed by 30%.
Higher tier = harder BOINK. Wooden is a slap. Netherite is a problem.
Sneak + right-click still makes paths, because you’re not a monster, but a frendly steve that just wants to have fun.
