ChickenKick

Kick a chicken and watch it fly. Punch it with bare hands, or hold B with the crosshair on it and let go: it flies off where you aim, tumbling head over heels, bounces off walls and the ground, slides to a stop and gets back on its feet, unharmed. The longer you hold B, the harder the kick: 4 seconds is a full charge, a third harder than the bare-handed kick (the secondary attack), and the trinkets' bar shows the charge. A hard kick comes with a shockwave and a crash, and the chicken is a dot in the sky. E still pets it.

• Everyone sees it fly. Your friends don't need the mod, and the server needs nothing: the chicken's flight is sent the same way the game sends any animal moving.
• Aim it. Look at a wall and a hard kick slams the chicken into it; look up and it goes up.
• Keep it up. A chicken in the air can be kicked again, with B or your fists.
• Chickens only: hens and chicks, tame or wild. Every other animal is as before.

Install

With the Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman: install it from Thunderstore, or Settings > Import local mod with the zip. By hand: BepInEx installed, then ChickenKick.dll into BepInEx\plugins. Only the player who kicks needs it.

Settings

In BepInEx/config/PetyusPolisz.ChickenKick.cfg (or the mod manager's config editor):

Setting	Default	What it does
Key	B	The key that kicks the chicken under the crosshair; hold it to charge the kick.
Fists	true	Bare hands kick too: a punch is a plain kick, the bare-handed kick a big one.
Speed	18	How hard the kick is (metres a second).
Lift	10	How much higher than the crosshair the chicken flies off (degrees).
Bounce	0.8	How much speed a bounce keeps (0: none, 0.95: a rubber chicken).

Pictures

Holding B: the trinkets' bar shows the charge.

A full charge: the shockwave and the crash, and the hen is already gone.
