Throw It!

ThrowIt

Throw literally anything — and watch what happens.

ThrowIt adds a single keybind (default: R) that lets you throw whatever item you’re currently holding. What happens next depends on what you threw.

Features

• 🧨 TNT & explosive blocks — explode on impact, just like the real thing.
• 🥚 Spawn eggs — hatch the mob the instant they land, exactly like right-clicking one.
• 🪣 Water / Lava / Powder Snow buckets — empty their contents wherever they land, leaving you an empty bucket to pick back up.
• ⚔️ Weapons & tools — deal damage based on the item’s real attack power when they hit a mob or player, then drop on the ground so you can retrieve them, just like a thrown arrow.
• ⛏️ Netherite tools — throw a Netherite pickaxe, axe, or shovel at a wall, floor, or ceiling and it mines a full 3×3 area on impact (only blocks that tool can actually harvest), then drops for you to pick back up.
• 📦 Everything else — lands safely on the ground as a normal item, ready to be picked up.

Every throw is server-authoritative, so it works correctly and fairly in multiplayer.

How to throw

Hold any item and press R. The key is rebindable from Options → Controls → Throwit.

Configuration

Two values can be tuned in the mod’s common config file:

| Option | Default | Description |
|—|—|—|
| throwExplosionPower | 3.0 | Explosion strength of thrown TNT / explosive blocks |
| throwDamageMultiplier | 1.0 | Multiplier applied to damage dealt by thrown weapons/tools |

Known limitations

• Mob buckets (axolotl, fish, tadpole) currently behave as regular thrown items — they don’t release their mob yet. Planned for a future update.

Compatibility

Designed to work alongside other mods — ThrowIt only adds a new keybind and a new projectile entity, it doesn’t override or replace any vanilla item behavior.
