Description
Sling enables item stack and single item throwing of any item. It's useful in multiplayer.

Notes
Sling can be played with Minetest 0.4.16 or above.
It depends on throwing.

Big thanks to paly2 for not only expanding the API for the mod's needs but also aiding immensely in writing it as well.

List of features

- Left click to throw the whole stack of items placed directly to the right of the sling.
- Sneak and left click to throw a single item from a stack of items placed directly to the right of the sling.

Known issues
- Odd looking behavior when thrown entity lands (because it is spawned anew).

Bug reports and suggestions

Will you be able to fling lava sources with this? If that's the case I'll have a good reason to move up to 0.4.16 :)

Good basic mod, but to improve it even more you should assign a "weight" value to items, and items should be able to have an on_land function. "Weight" value could be based on how easy node can be destroyed.
