Impetus
Throw spears, not paper airplanes
Why / what
Throwing spears sucks in vanilla, this copies the logic of BetterArchery / BowPlugin, but for spears so they fly faster and feel more practical as a weapon.
Configuration
You can configure various spear throwing physics via Offical BepInEx Configuration Manager.
Notes
The implementation looks for the spear throw attack animation when deciding to adjust the projectile physics. Therefore, custom weapons like Javelins are also affected (IMO, yay!), but other custom weapons could be affected that you don't want to be. If you have better ideas on how to isolate this affect to spears, holla atcha boy.
Credits
This code is cobbled together from BetterArchery and BowPlugin.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
