Javelin Throw
by hellofaizan
Javelin Throw turns a trident into a measured throwing contest, with a distance readout after every throw and a live top three leaderboard.
What it does
Javelin Throw changes how tridents behave in a minigame setting. Equipping a trident and throwing it reports the number of blocks it traveled, displayed in chat. Each player's longest throws are tracked, and the three longest distances are kept on a leaderboard that updates in real time, giving players a record to beat.
Server owners can customize the message that appears after each throw, so the readout matches the tone of their server. The mod is built for Paper servers and also runs on Spigot and Bukkit, and it is designed as a simple setup that needs little configuration. It is intended for Olympic-style javelin events and other competitive throwing games played on a server.
Javelin Throw is published for Fabric and Forge across 14 release versions, 1.19 – 1.21.1. The Fabric file is the latest at 1.1 and the Forge file at 1.2, both for 1.21.1. The code is available to read, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
