Spinning Tomahawk
by adonisbaffin
Spinning Tomahawk adds throwable tomahawks that fly out, cut what lies in their path, and return to the thrower's hand.
What it does
Spinning Tomahawk adds throwable axes that work as both melee tools and ranged weapons. A thrown tomahawk travels through the air, cutting grass, crops and vegetation along its flight path, and can fell entire trees. It returns to the hand after reaching its maximum range, curving around in flight, and it bounces back immediately when it hits an enemy. Dual-wielded throws allow rapid attacks.
The mod launches with three specialised tomahawks, each suited to a different style of fighting, alongside the classic balanced thrower. Every tomahawk keeps full axe functionality, so it can strip logs, scrape oxidation off copper and remove wax, and it harvests any block that is mineable with an axe. The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge in the client and server environment, so the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Returning throws
A tomahawk flies out and comes back to the hand, so one item can be thrown repeatedly.
Vegetation and tree cutting
Along its flight path the tomahawk cuts grass, crops and vegetation and fells entire trees.
Ender variant
After a throw, right-clicking while the axe is still flying teleports the player to its location, which helps with crossing gaps or reaching high places. The tomahawk can also be recalled.
Berserker and Frost variants
The Berserker has a 40% chance to inflict heavy extra damage and heals, restores hunger and saturation on a hit. The Frost variant inflicts Slowness and Weakness on the target.
Blast and Magnetic variants
The Blast variant detonates on impact with a block or entity. The Magnetic variant pulls nearby dropped items and experience orbs back to the player's inventory.
