Create: Throw Andesite

ThrowAndesite is a Create add-on that lets you throw Andesite Alloy and vanilla Andesite like a rock. Hold a stack, press left-click, and send it flying at a wall, the floor, a mob, or straight into empty air.

It follows a heavy, steep arc instead of floating like a snowball, shatters with andesite particles where it lands, hits a mob for one heart, and drops back as an item, so you can pick it up and throw it again.

Install on both the client and the server, in the same version. Works in singleplayer out of the box. On Forge and NeoForge, a client with the mod can't join a server without it, and vice versa. On Fabric, a client with the mod can still join a server without it; there, left click simply behaves as without the mod.

Dependencies: Create is required on every loader. Fabric also needs Fabric API and Architectury API. NeoForge also needs Architectury API. Forge needs nothing beyond Create.

Free to use in any modpack — public or private, no permission needed.

What it does

• Throw andesite — hold create:andesite_alloy or minecraft:andesite in your main hand and press left-click to launch one from the stack.
• Heavy stone physics — the projectile drops much faster than a snowball, giving it a short, steep and weighty trajectory.
• Throw anywhere — aim at blocks, entities, the ground, or open air.
• Hit mobs — a direct impact deals one heart of damage.
• Recover it — after impact, the projectile drops back as an item instead of being destroyed.
• Impact effects — it shatters with an andesite-style block-breaking effect when it lands.
• Hold to keep throwing — holding the attack button throws one every 4 ticks, so the stack isn't emptied instantly. The block you're aiming at isn't mined.
• Creative-friendly — survival players use one item per throw, while creative players keep their stack.

The dropped item can still be lost to the usual hazards, such as lava, fire, explosions, or the void.

How to use

1. Put Andesite Alloy or Andesite in your main hand.
2. Aim wherever you want to throw it.
3. Press or hold left-click.
4. Pick it back up after it lands.

Throwing replaces the normal attack or block-breaking action while andesite is held. Switch to another item whenever you want to mine or attack normally.

Details

• Spectators — never throw; their left click stays vanilla, so they can still spectate mobs.
• Create deployers — a deployer in punch mode holding andesite punches with it like any other item; it doesn't throw.
• No Create classes referenced — andesite is detected purely by registry id (create:andesite_alloy, minecraft:andesite), which keeps the add-on small and avoids coupling to Create's internals.
• No config — the thrown items, damage, gravity, recovery, and throw rate use built-in values.
