Official announcement

Throwing Disc Bedrock support

Check the announced Bedrock release plan and off-hand changes before looking for a recipe, command or compatible build.

What has been announced

Mojang says Bedrock players will be able to hold items such as a pickaxe in either hand. The disc is also shown and described as usable in either hand. This is a planned change, not confirmation that your installed version supports it.

Java and Bedrock are separate test targets

The announcement notes that Java players have held items in either hand since 2016. That does not prove identical disc damage, cooldowns, controls or collision behavior between editions. We will keep measurements separate by edition and build.

Before trying a recipe or command

Check whether the official notes for your installed build actually include the disc. Then check the edition, build number, required experimental settings and input device. A Java mod or community recreation is not evidence of native Bedrock support.

Still open

The exact release day, first playable build, controller and touch mappings, per-material stats and detailed off-hand interactions are not specified in this announcement.

Throwing Disc Bedrock questions

When is the Throwing Disc coming to Bedrock?

Mojang names the first game drop of 2027 as the planned update. The cited announcement does not give a calendar date or identify the first playable Bedrock build.

Can Bedrock players hold the Throwing Disc in the off-hand?

The reveal shows and describes the disc as usable in either hand and announces wider Bedrock off-hand support. This is a planned capability, not confirmation for every currently installed build.

Will Java and Bedrock Throwing Disc stats be identical?

The announcement does not establish identical damage, cooldowns, controls or collision behavior. Each edition and build needs its own verification.
