How do I throw a knife?
Equip a Farmer's Delight cooking knife in either your main hand or offhand. Hold down Right-Click to aim the blade like a trident, then release Right-Click to throw it at your target.
Do thrown knives deal less damage than normal melee hits?
No, thrown knives deal the exact same full melee damage as swinging them normally in close combat.
Why does my picked-up knife go into a specific slot instead of my first open hotbar slot?
The mod remembers the exact inventory or offhand slot you threw the knife from. When you walk over the landed blade to pick it up, it automatically equips back into that original spot.
How do I make my thrown knife fly back to me automatically?
Apply the Loyalty enchantment to your knife. Just like a trident, a Loyalty-enchanted blade will fly right back to your hand after hitting a target or block.
What happens if I accidentally throw my knife into the void in the End?
If your knife has the Loyalty enchantment, it will safely fly back to you even if thrown into the void. Without Loyalty, a knife thrown into the void cannot be recovered.
How does Backstabbing work on thrown knives?
If you have both Loyalty and Backstabbing on your knife, the blade can trigger the Backstabbing damage bonus when hitting enemies on its return flight back to your hand. You do not need invisibility to trigger this returning bonus.
Why can I only pick up one knife when using Multishot?
Enchanting a knife with Multishot lets you launch three blades at the same time from a single item, similar to a crossbow. To prevent item duplication, only the center knife can be recovered after landing.
Can I throw knives from my offhand while holding a sword or shield in my main hand?
Yes, you can aim and throw knives directly from your offhand as long as the item in your main hand does not override the Right-Click action. When you pick the knife back up, it returns straight to your offhand slot.
Does this work with knives from Farmer's Delight addons and other food mods?
Yes, in addition to standard Farmer's Delight cooking knives, you can throw extra knives added by other mods as long as those items use the standard knife item tag.
Do I need to craft special throwing knives to use this mod?
No, this mod does not require separate throwing weapons. It adds throwable trident-like mechanics directly to existing Farmer's Delight cooking knives and compatible modded knives.
