Is there an official 5e equivalent of the the Blinkback Belt from Pathfinder?

Question

I have been playing around with an idea for a dagger-throwing character in 5e. I was wondering if there was an official version of the Blinkback Belt from Pathfinder. I feel that it could be an interesting build.

The belt holds either 2 one-handed weapons or 4 light weapons which, when drawn and thrown, are teleported back to the belt. I am more interested in the teleporting aspect, i.e. the character can spend his action/bonus action to throw some daggers, and then doesn't have to worry about retrieving them if they miss. Think of it as a John Woo movie in D&D.

I have looked around online but unfortunately with so much homebrew content out there I was not able to decipher what was considered official or not.

Answer 1

In 5E, there are only a handful of sources for magic items that are official - primarily the Dungeon Master's Guide, and the appendices of published adventures.

After looking through all of these, the answer to your question is: No. The Blinkback Belt does not have an exact equivalent in D&D 5e.

There are a few magic items that have a similar effect though (in that they can be thrown multiple times). However, all of these return the item to your hand, not your belt - a small but perhaps noteworthy difference.

From the DMG:

• The Dwarven Thrower (Very Rare Warhammer, only usable by a dwarf) can be thrown, and immediately flies back to your hand afterwards.
• Whelm is a legendary sentient Warhammer (only usable by a dwarf) that has the same feature

From the Princes of the Apocalypse adventure:

• A Storm Boomerang returns to your hand if you miss (but not if you hit)

Finally, the closest to what you're looking for is probably in the adventure Waterdeep: Dragon Heist:

• The Bracer of Flying Daggers functions similarly to the Blinkback Belt (albeit more limited in what weapons can be equipped to it, but allowing an additional attack):

  This armband appears to have thin daggers strapped to it. As an action, you can pull up to two magic daggers from the bracer and immediately hurl them, making a ranged attack with each dagger. A dagger vanishes if you don’t hurl it right away, and the daggers disappear right after they hit or miss. The bracer never runs out of daggers.

Answer 2

The bracer of flying daggers was released in the Waterdeep: Dragon Heist module (p. 191). It lets you use an action to draw and throw 2 magic daggers from it, and the daggers disappear after they hit or miss, or if you don't throw them right away. The bracer never runs out of daggers. These daggers count as magical.

It's not exactly the same (you can only use it for the daggers the bracer itself supplies - you can't put your own weapons there) but that's as close to the 3.5 Bracers of Endless Daggers or the Blinkback Belt from Pathfinder that I've found so far.
