Mojang revealed the first two features of Minecraft's first game drop of 2027 on its TwitchCon stream, then detailed them on minecraft.net on November 14, 2026: a new weapon, the throwing disc, and a full off-hand for Bedrock Edition players.
The throwing disc
- It is a ranged weapon that comes back to you after you throw it.
- It does not fly far, but it bounces off hard surfaces and goes a little farther when it ricochets.
- It passes through enemies lined up in its path and hits every one of them.
- It comes in copper, iron, gold, diamond and netherite, so you can match it to the rest of your gear.
- You can hold it in either hand.
Mojang has not given its recipe, its damage or its durability yet.
The off-hand on Bedrock
Java Edition players have held items in either hand since 2016. On Bedrock Edition, the off-hand only took a few items, such as fireworks and nautilus shells. With the first drop of 2027, Bedrock players will be able to hold any item in their off-hand, a pickaxe for instance.
