I was recently asked to deal with some trident stuff in one of my plugins. After plenty of research I came to realize there is no event for a player throwing a trident.

I saw a previous issue (SPIGOT-4199) which asked for riptide events, and also the addition of throwing a trident event, which I guess the second part got missed:

""

Additionally, it might be useful to offer something akin to the EntityShootBowEvent class, maybe called EntityThrowTridentEvent, with similar methods.  This would make it a lot easier for plugin developers to work with the newly added tridents.

""

 

Another option for this could maybe be an EntityThrowProjectileEvent. I noticed there's a throw egg event but not a throw snowball event. Something like this be very useful in the future as Mojang could possibly add more throwable projectiles in the future. A method that sums up all projectiles will make adding them to this event in the future a lot easier and cleaner in the API

 

Thank you for reading!
