Miner Gun

Miner Gun
The Miner Gun is a mainly utility weapon that is used to place and destroy blocks. It has 2 different modes, which can be switched between by using Mouse 3.

Build Mode:
Allows the user to place blocks of their choice, which can be selected from the menu displayed of the gun. Blocks can be placed either FLOAT (floating in mid air), FACE ( attached to a block)., and LINE (stack blocks in a line)

If the server has Map Making Mode enabled, another building function is available, FILL (replaces blocks of the same type touching the block you are facing with the selected block)

Destroy Mode:
Allows the user to destroy blocks of their choice. There are 4 modes, SINGLE (for destroying single blocks), TRIPLE (for destroying a row of 3 vertical blocks), NONUPLE (which destroys a 3x3x3 cube), and BLASTER (which, after a charge, shoots a projectile that can explode blocks with about the same force as a grenade).

Mobility:
By charging a BLASTER shot to Red, firing at your feet, and jumping simultaneously, a player can generate an effect similar to rocket jumping. The player will take some damage but travel a substantial vertical distance.

As a weapon:
The Miner Gun as a weapon does sub-par damage and requires a closer range to inflict it dealing 6 damage per frame at a framerate of 60 frames per second. This weapon is capable of 360 damage per second, its problem comes down to the margin of error is so large because the range has to be close and the weapon requires perfect accuracy. The BLASTER ability, if fully charged, is an instant kill if you manage to hit an enemy dealing 255 damage. It has a blast falloff of up to 5 blocks at least, and at full charge can kill any fool regardless if you hit directly or hit next to the target. This projectile is also the only projectile that can deflect of space blocks and can launch you higher than any other weapon with a skilled blast jump. Considering all of this, it is mainly used as utility due to its damage being hard to land overall as the charge time is 1 max charge blast every 4 seconds.

Other notes:
-If a block is locked on the map, it cannot be tampered with through use of the gun.

-When a player joins a server, block editing is disabled, temporarily inhibiting the Miner Gun from placing and destroying blocks.
