🦊 Fox's Weapons — Alpha 13

Version: 0.13.0-alpha.1

☠️ New Weapon: Poisoned Needle (Tier 2)

The 13th weapon has arrived! A small, throwable needle coated in a deadly purple toxin. It may look harmless, but its victims will strongly disagree.

⚔️ Weapon Mechanics

• Direct Damage: 6 HP (3 hearts) on impact.
• Toxin: Deals 2 HP (1 heart) every 5 ticks (0.25 seconds).
• Permanent Toxin: The effect lasts indefinitely until removed, such as by drinking milk.
• Lethal Poisoning: Unlike vanilla Poison, Toxin can kill its victims and works against undead enemies.
• Piercing: Needles can pass through multiple targets in a single throw.
• No Cooldown: Throw needles as quickly as you can click.
• Projectile Speed: Uses full vanilla bow launch speed.

🎯 Projectile Features

• Custom 3D GeckoLib model and projectile renderer.
• Needles become embedded in blocks at their impact angle.
• Embedded needles can be recovered by players.
• Needles drop as items if their supporting block is destroyed.
• Embedded projectile states are saved and restored.

🧪 New Status Effect: Toxin

Introduces a purple, damage-over-time status effect that continues damaging affected entities until removed or the target dies.
