Javelin Uses
The Javelin is the most basic
dedicated weapon the player can create in TerraFirmaCraft.
The Javelin can be drawn like a bow, hitting for heavy damage. The javelin passes through enemies and can be recovered. There is a chance it will use durability when thrown.
The Javelin, though capable of being used as a melee weapon, is more effectively used as a throwing spear.

Metal Javelin
Metal Javelins can only be made from tool metals. They can be cast in ceramic molds, or worked on a metal anvil.
Casting
- Main article: Casting
As of Build 77, Bismuth Bronze, Black Bronze, Bronze, and Copper Javelins can be cast using a Vessel and a Ceramic Mold instead of working on an anvil.
Once you have your Unshaped Copper (or a bronze) you need to make a Ceramic Javelin Mold:

Smithing

Javelin Blades can also be crafted by using ingots on an anvil with a hammer. This is the only option for higher tier metals that cannot be cast. The durability depends both on the metal used and the skill of the smith forging the tool.
