I made this mod because I think the javelins that are out there are too overpowered. They stack to insane amounts, and are super cheap to craft. I wanted to make a bridge between arrows and spears. Not as strong as a spear, not as convenient to carry as a batch of arrows, but something in the middle of those. Slightly faster but weaker than spears, and can be carried in smaller stacks than arrows. They aren't meant to be your go-to ranged weapon, but rather something you can prepare in advance when you go on a hunt or if you are out of metal to prepare for a storm.

In my playthroughs I always felt I had more bones that I could use, and it was a waste, so... why not make some javelin heads out of bone and hunt more creatures for more bone and other goods with them?!

I am not sure if I should make metal javelin heads as an upgrade to this ones. I would love your feedback on that!

If you have suggestions or bugs, let me know. I am trying to keep them balanced, cheap enough to make, but won't last you for long, you can carry a bit more without filling your ivnentory, but let me know how you feel about their balance. I wanted them to feel like part of the base game, and not some OP weapon I jut threw in there for convenience.

I have had fun with them during my tests, I hope you do to!

Hi Sidonius

I am not familiar with that mod, I would have to look into it, but I did not make any accomodations for it. Do you have any particular issue you are concerned with?

💬 Sidonius, 1 day ago

Can i have another question? Is there compabity with toolworks mod?

💬 ArahvinAuthor, 3 days ago

Hey Sidonius

I think so, although I'd probably need some custom animations for it, and I haven't delved into that yet. I'll add it to my list of maybes for the mod, I have a few ideas I want to throw in there first, but I'll definitely give it some thought. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi your mod looks nice, I wonder can you make it with spear thrower? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spear-thrower

It was widely used especially in ice-age. It could give the spear more range and potencionally more damage.
It would be awesome to have something like this.

Hey ComradeTum

Good to hear that I'm not the only one feeling that way :D

It wasn't compatible with 1.19.8 but I just uploaded a version that fixes that, enjoy. And if you have any suggestions I'm all ears!

I definitely feel as you do about the current javelin mods (way too overpowered) So Im excited to try this!

Is it only for 1.20-pre or will it work on the stable 1.19.8, do you know?
