About this Mod
▌ Spinning Tomahawk adds throwable axes that function as both reliable melee tools and deadly ranged weapons. Throw your tomahawk and watch it spin through the air, cutting down grass, crops, and entire trees in its path before faithfully returning to your hand. If it hits an enemy, it bounces back immediately; if it reaches its maximum range, it curves around and flies back to you.

▌ The mod launches with three unique tomahawk variants, each with a distinct combat style:
Spinning Tomahawk — The classic balanced thrower. Cuts vegetation and fells entire trees along its flight path. Can be dual-wielded for rapid throws.
Ender Spinning Tomahawk — After throwing, right-click while the axe is still flying to instantly teleport to its location and recall it. Perfect for crossing gaps, reaching high places, or making a swift escape.
Berserker Spinning Tomahawk — A brutal weapon with a 40% chance to deal massive bonus damage on impact. Heals your health and restores hunger and saturation with every successful hit, turning you into an unstoppable force.
Blast Spinning Tomahawk — Crafted with TNT, this axe detonates on impact with any block or entity, dealing explosive damage to everything nearby. Use wisely in close combat to avoid catching yourself in the blast.
Frost Spinning Tomahawk — Infused with chilling frost energy, it inflicts Slowness and Weakness on every target it hits, leaving them helpless. Excellent for controlling powerful enemies or creating openings for your allies.
Magnetic Spinning Tomahawk — Built around a magnetic core, it pulls in nearby dropped items and experience orbs as it flies, delivering them straight back to your inventory. An indispensable tool for exploration and looting.
Ultimate Spinning Tomahawk — A legendary weapon that pierces through both entities and blocks, branding every struck foe with a devastating mark. Upon returning to your hand, all marks detonate simultaneously, unleashing massive true damage.
▌ All tomahawks retain full axe functionality — they can strip logs, scrape oxidation off copper, remove wax, and efficiently harvest any block mineable with an axe. They can also be fired from Dispensers and will return automatically. Supports JEI and is fully localized in 8 languages.
▌ More elemental variants are planned for future updates!
