Usage

Vicious potatoes shoot projectiles (known as vine_projectile in the code) that damage other entities. They shoot when they receive a random tick or a redstone signal, and there is an entity in a 31×31×31 cube centered on the vicious potato block. Projectiles deal 5HP❤️❤️💔 damage and fly in a straight line, unaffected by gravity. Although the projectiles cannot pass through solid blocks, a vicious potato still shoots projectiles regardless of any barriers between it and the targeted entity.

A vicious potato attacks all living entities. Mobs don't try to run away from them, and do not consider the vicious potato as an enemy as it isn't an entity. Even mobs with block-breaking abilities, such as withers, don't try to destroy vicious potatoes that attack them.
