Updated to 1.0 Since I've not been able to animate spear's flight any better through using API, this first stable version won't bring any drastic change. However, apart of knowing that everything works good, this release brings a small buff to spears' speed and, consequently, damage at range, two n...

Hi, i am testing this mode with basic arrows on my PvP server (SaKeL Test) but it seems to not doing any damage to the players. Is there any setting for this ? Thanks. As stated at the introduction, this mod is NOT tested for PvP but only balanced against Mobs Redo's creatures, i had no idea about ...

Throwing enhanced is now in maintenance status. No more new features will be directly added here, but its components will be gradually separated and developed further. The original mod will eventually be turned into a modpack once everything will be working good as standalone mods. Spears have been ...

My earlier post wasn't for your advice on our updates cycle, but was on the 32px textures we made/use and we want to share with you. ;) Of course, but I felt quite guilty for having published such an unpolished snapshot so I'm hoping for any of its tracks to disappear as soon as possible... I belie...

I made some 32px textures for this awhile back if you want to use them spears_textures_32px.zip https://forum.minetest.net/download/file.php?mode=view&id=3930&sid=106dcf23e6d1745fc0303a862c1d1baa spearz32.png Nice! I prefer to keep it as coherent as possible with default game, using 16x16 t...

Why did I not see this mod earlier?! The throw function works fine but I would like to throw them using the LMB, like with snowballs and shuriken. Because it appeared few days ago :) they were introduced within my older mod but it was turning into a big mess. Assigning a function to the LMB would r...

Fixed spears that used to self repair while being thrown after reaching maximum wear. Reorganized code files for better visualization.

I hope so :)

Have fun!

Added screenshot and fixed a bug causing spears that hit a mob and a node at the same time to duplicate.

Please note that spears are being developed further and published in their new topic. Fixes and improvements will not be ported here any longer.

Spears This mod adds spears to Minetest games. They are versatile weapons that can be used to attack like a normal sword, even if slower, or safely thrown to the bad ones from the distance. These are the spears introduced within throwing enhanced , now improved, and here is where I'll continue thei...

Since I'm not really satisfied of how it looks overall, mainly the bow reload process and crossbow wielding due to API limitations, I'll stop adding features directly to this mod by now. I'll still try to maintain it through new Minetest releases if some adaptation is needed but in the meantime I'm ...

Since cows from Tenplus1's Mobs Redo drop leather, it would be nice to add a leather armor in the future.

Is this mod stable? I used PilzAdam's throwing mod and whenever I tried to shoot the arrow the game would crash (4.12/4.13). Does this mod have the same problem? It works nicely, at least for me :) Of course you better try yourself to be sure! PilzAdam's throwing looked quite abandoned when I forke...

May I ask why this mod still uses the old textures for wheat and seeds?
I think that the default ones have quite improved.

Since default_fence.png seems to not exist anymore or have been replaced (I don't know how it was before 0.4.12), I suggest this addition to follow the new default's fences definition: local fence_texture = "default_fence_overlay.png^default_wood.png^default_fence_overlay.png^[makealpha:255,126...

I have had no problems with striking mobs; I also havent seen any arrows sitting in the air after striking a mob, Unlike the original crossbow, I have the life span of arrows pretty short once they land some where. just make sure the mobs mod you are using is in the list (basic_bow_entities line 21...

Updated to 1.4.1 Spears now retain wearing and have no more a random chance to break. This would be nice for arrows too but it's unlikely due to them being (obviously) stackable. Many textures have been improved and torch arrows now emit light while flying too (like fireworks). Could you incorperat...

If you're interested, my throwing enhanced mod which was forked from this one has now more complex reload and damage systems (with different reload times and stiffness), improved textures and contents (crossbows, spears and many different arrows) and it's still being developed. If you like sticking ...

Updated to 1.4 Say welcome to the spears! They bring new possibilities to the gameplay by mixing ranged and melee effects. They're also another step for me into understanding how to code throws that move from the bow-arrow scheme, so you can expect more kinds of flying objects for the next releases...

Updated to 1.3 The last, most powerful (and totally fictional) of my original list for bows and crossbows has been added, I had very little time to test so let's try and see if it will have to be nerfed. I updated also the old arbalest textures which didn't look at all like steel, added the .git to...

Thanks everybody for the interest. Unluckly I had no time to work on this mod anymore, hopefully I'll be able to put together another release during holidays. However, This mod is a masterpiece. But to download it I had to had .git at the end of this line: git clone https://gitlab.com/echoes91/throw...

Updated to 1.2 A scary arbalest is waiting for the medieval warriors around, even the Stone Monster's rock isn't hard enough any more. A default.lua has been added to initialize all variables and disable some content according to what looked more controversial from my impression and your suggestion...

Updated to 1.1.2 Fixed fireworks, not removing blocks any more, and multiple reloadings issue. Updated dependencies, now some are optional as only few arrows depend on them. EVERY tool and arrow can be already disabled by writing DISABLE_*** into throwing.conf, see the example. As personal taste, I...

Updated to 1.1 The first crossbow has come, enjoy its power but read instructions carefully, don't be fooled by its drawbacks! It would render much better if "3D textures" could be horizontal, but i found no function for this. More scary weapons will come soon. Offensive arrows now go acr...
