CrowsHammerMod
by CR0W9957
CrowsHammerMod gives players a throwable hammer that channels lightning on hit, adding a ranged melee option to Forge worlds on 1.20.1.
What it does
Players craft the hammer from rare materials, which makes it a progression item rather than a starting weapon. Once in hand, it can be thrown at enemies, and the throw is the mod's main combat mechanic. A thrown hammer can knock back foes and open a gap in a fight, letting players engage from a distance instead of running into melee range.
Each hit that lands can release a lightning strike on the target, adding extra damage and a visible electric effect. The mod is aimed at players who prefer either close-range brawls or long-range assaults, and it fits adventure play and survival worlds that want more strategy in combat.
The mod is for Forge only, and its files target 1.20.1. It can run on a client alone, on a server alone or on both, so installing it on one side is enough. It is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Throwing mechanics
The hammer is thrown at enemies, which makes fights more strategic and keeps the player at a distance.
Knockback on hit
A hammer hit pushes foes back, giving the player room to reposition before the next throw.
Lightning strike
A hit channels electric power into the target, dealing extra damage and a bright, sudden visual effect.
Crafted progression item
The hammer is made from rare materials, so obtaining it marks a step in a player's progress.

Use cases
Ranged combat
Players who want to hit enemies before they close the distance can throw the hammer and follow up with a lightning strike.
Progression goals
Crafting the hammer needs rare materials, which gives a survival run a concrete weapon goal to work toward.
Who it’s for: Players who want a melee weapon that also works at range, and who are playing on Forge 1.20.1 with either a single-player world or a multiplayer server.
How it compares
Hammers+ is a Forge mod for 1.19.4 – 1.20.1 that works on either side and neither side needs it, and it is released under All rights reserved. Void Arsenal is Forge for 1.20.1 only and requires both client and server, and it is released under the MIT License. Legendary Weapons V3 is also Forge, runs on client and server, and is limited to 1.20.6, so it does not share this mod's version.
