Allows you to throw spears with right-click. They do the same damage as normal spear attacks. By default, you will miss (and still lose durability) if you try to hit small creatures (bunnies, butterflies, birds, bees).

This was a mod that I did mainly because I was curious about how it would be done. I've seen people asking for throwable spears to be in the game before, so I figured I'd publish it. I don't think I'll use it myself, though. Any other modders who want to use the code, feel free (for example to make your own two-mode weapons).

Options:

  • Miss Small Creatures: Determines the chance to miss small creatures (default to 100%).
  • # Uses on Large: Sets the amount of durability used by throwing a spear at a large target, in terms of the number of times you can use it before it breaks. Defaults to 75, which uses twice the durability of a normal attack.
  • # Uses on Small: Same, but for small creatures, if you hit them. Defaults to 5.
  • Check Range: Enabled by default. You can right-click near enemies you want to throw the spear at instead of having to click directly on them. This helps for small and fast-moving targets, but the range check is a bit expensive, so if it causes lag for you, I'd recommend turning it off.
