The Draupnir
by saifmods
Players who want a throwing weapon with explosive detonations can use The Draupnir, a spear mod for Fabric and Forge that adds a charged throw and enchantment books.
What it does
The Draupnir adds a mythical spear that is thrown and steered by holding the trigger to charge it. A charged throw flies in a straight line and ignores gravity, and a level III True Flight enchantment keeps it on course for up to 300 blocks. Holding the trigger longer produces a larger detonation on impact, and a sneak input cancels a throw while it is charging.
Enchantment books drop with a set chance: True Flight, Vampiric Swarm and Draupnir's Blessing. Vampiric Swarm has a 15 percent chance to open a rift on detonation and summon bats that attack any mob that damages the player. The mod requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric and Forge, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Files cover game versions 1.20.1 – 26.2 and run on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
