Throw Your Axes
by Black-Cat
Throw Your Axes lets players hurl their axes as ranged attacks, with the throw charged by holding the attack button.
What it does
A held axe can be thrown, and the longer the charge, the faster the axe travels and the more damage it deals, from 60% to 150% of the axe's damage. Each throw uses 1 durability. While charging, an outline shows the axe within 5 blocks, and the player slows down; the slowness fades over 4 seconds once the charge ends. An axe that misses or hits an entity within 8 blocks can be picked up again, and after pickup the enchantment on the axe recovers a token.
The mod requires DuskyWisp's Library and Timed Modifiers API, both of which must be installed alongside it. Throw Your Axes is published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.21.9 and 1.21.10, with 1.0.4 for 1.21.10 as the latest file. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and the author notes that compatibility with other mods has been tested.
Key features
Charged axe throws
Holding the attack button charges a throw, and a longer charge makes the axe faster and stronger.
Axe outline while charging
An outline shows the thrown axe within 5 blocks of the player, making it easier to target.
Recovering thrown axes
Thrown axes can be picked up again after they miss or hit an entity within 8 blocks.
Charge slowness and cooldown
Charging slows the player, and the penalty and the attack cooldown are reduced by the axe's enchantment levels.
