This is a small mod that adds the ability to throw items when dropping them. The longer you hold the drop button, the farther the item is thrown.
The default keybind to Power Drop instead of vanilla dropping is Shift + Q.
FOV adjustment is optional. It can optionally also output a message to chat when maximum throw distance has been reached.

Feel free to use this in modpacks.
Required both clientside and serverside.
