Throwable tools?

[xcoopergangx]

Does anybody know if its possible to make items such as pickaxes or swords throwable? would you have to make it a seperate throwable entity?

I'm assuming you mean throwing them like snowballs? You would definitely need an entity, there is no other way to do it. Also, do you want to add this to a vanilla tool, or a custom one? The way to implement it would be very different.

I mean like to a custom pickaxe/vanilla tools.

Easy. Make a class that extends ItemPickaxe, and copy the code from ItemSnowball (onItemRightClick) and paste it into your class. Then change the code to fit what you want, it changing anything like EntitySnowball, etc. to EntityPickaxe, then copy and paste EntitySnowball/RenderSnowball and name it EntityPickaxe and RenderPickaxe, and change it. it's not hard, really just a bunch of copy and paste.
