Minecraft Throwing Disc
The Throwing Disc is a planned Minecraft ranged weapon revealed during the 2026 game drop showcases - a tiered disc you craft from copper up to netherite that returns after being thrown.
Planned - 2027Ranged weaponCopper to Netherite tiers
What the Throwing Disc does
- Throw and return: the disc flies out, hits targets, and returns to the thrower like a boomerang.
- Ricochet: it can bounce between targets and surfaces, hitting multiple enemies in one throw.
- Piercing potential: higher tiers can pass through targets along the flight path.
- Off-hand support: planned full off-hand use on Bedrock, so you can shield-and-disc or dual-wield setups.
Not out yet. The Throwing Disc was previewed at the 2026 showcases (including the TwitchCon game drop feature) and is planned for the 2027 game drop - it is not in survival or creative yet.
Tiers and crafting
| Tier | Expected behavior |
|---|---|
| Copper | Entry tier - basic throw and return |
| Iron | Better damage and durability |
| Gold | Faster return, weaker durability (classic gold trade-off) |
| Diamond | High damage with ricochet upgrades |
| Netherite | Top tier - piercing and lava survival |
Exact recipes haven't shipped yet - expect the standard tool-crafting pattern with a disc head material plus a handle component.
FAQ
Is the Throwing Disc in Minecraft now?
No - it's announced for a future (2027) game drop. Preview footage exists but it hasn't shipped to any public build.
Is it Java or Bedrock?
Both - off-hand support was specifically highlighted for Bedrock, where off-hand slots are historically limited.
Does it use enchants?
Enchantment support hasn't been confirmed, but Loyalty-style behavior is built in by default since the disc returns automatically.
