Minecraft reveals the throwing disc, a ricocheting ranged weapon, and off-hand items for Bedrock

Original editorial illustration of a copper throwing disc ricocheting off a cave wall with sparks and a curved motion trail.

Minecraft is getting a new ranged weapon: the throwing disc. Mojang revealed it during its TwitchCon 2026 stream, describing a disc that returns to you after you throw it, ricochets off hard surfaces and can even pass through multiple enemies. Bedrock Edition players are also getting the off-hand slot, so they can hold items in their second hand the way Java players already can. Minecraft's official account says both are "coming soon" to Minecraft worlds; no release date has been announced yet.
