Throw Everything at It with Toss Lab
Official source by Mike Ammerlaan ·
Toss Lab is a creator sample built around Chaos Cubed’s new entity physics—less a commercial Marketplace toy and more a playground for lobbing objects with different bounce, drag, friction, and stickiness. Mike Ammerlaan’s write-up frames it like classic artillery puzzles: aim, power, trajectory, and collision, updated for Minecraft’s blocky side-scroll puzzle format.
The experience ships as a downloadable sample in the Minecraft Samples repository under the toss_lab folder. You open it, run it, and remix it. Levels ask you to hit pressure plates, fill gaps for rolling blocks, or trigger switches tucked where a straight throw can’t reach, using a satchel of objects that each behave differently once airborne.
The demo items map cleanly to the new components. A rubber sphere bounces in light arcs (bounciness, air drag). A heavy stone drops hard with almost no bounce. A cotton puff drifts on a long floaty path. An ice disk lands and slides on low friction. A sticky glob plants itself and resists being shoved. Together they show how creators can author “personalities” instead of one generic projectile feel.
If you’re building maps for the Chaos Cubed era (around the 1.26.20 / 1.26.30 physics work), Toss Lab is the hands-on syllabus: clone the sample, read the Learning Portal tour, then steal the patterns for your own puzzles and minigames. It’s aimed at beginners who want a calculator-simple toy and veterans who want physics spice without inventing the whole pipeline from scratch.

Session vibe
Toss Lab is pure silly-physics friend night: throw everything, bounce everything, and laugh when the plan goes sideways. Skip the serious survival mix and pick something playful so the soundtrack matches the chaos. Keep it on a disposable Creative sandbox — this add-on is a playground, not a careful megabase tool.
Player checklist
- Invite friends to a fresh Creative world so nobody’s farms or redstone become collateral damage.
- Film one ridiculous throw chain; Toss Lab sessions are better as shared clips than solo notes.
- Unset the pack before returning to normal Survival so physics surprises do not haunt tomorrow’s builds.

Suggested vibe: bouncy playful loops with light percussion — laboratory mischief without menace.
