How could I make a blaze rod shoot arrows like a shotgun???

How could I make a blaze rod shoot arrows like a shotgun???
Some starter code:

Code:

public void onPlayerUse(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        final Player player = event.getPlayer();
if (player.getItemInHand().getType().toString() == "BLAZE ROD" && event.getAction() == Action.LEFT_CLICK_AIR) {
if( player.getInventory().contains(Material.SEEDS)) {
//shoot code here
}
}
}

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

 

Code:

public void onPlayerUse(PlayerInteractEvent event) {
        final Player player = event.getPlayer();
        if (player.getItemInHand().getType().toString() == "BLAZE ROD" && event.getAction() == Action.LEFT_CLICK_AIR) {
            if(player.getInventory().contains(Material.SEEDS)) {
                player.launchProjectile(Arrow.class);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Edit:
Change

Code:

        if (player.getItemInHand().getType().toString() == "BLAZE ROD" && event.getAction() == Action.LEFT_CLICK_AIR) {

to (Edit2)

Code:

        if (player.getItemInHand().getType() == Material.BLAZE_ROD && event.getAction() == Action.LEFT_CLICK_AIR) {

 

Thanks, but how could I make it shoot a spread of arrows so it would resemble a shotgun.

 

Bump

 

Change

Code:

player.launchProjectile(Arrow.class);

to

Code:

player.getWorld().spawnArrow(player.getLocation(), /*get a vector here*/, /*put your arrow speed here*/, /*put your spread here*/);

 

Thanks, but is the spread the thing that makes the arrows shoot like a shotgun???

 

Pretty much, Its like a barrage of arrows
