If you like fighting from a distance, this is your mod. It adds 39 craftable bows and 22 special arrows — from a stronger Netherite bow to arrows that explode, teleport you, or call down lightning. There are no new mobs or biomes here; it's all about gear you craft and shoot.
How the damage works
Every shot deals the vanilla bow damage plus a fixed bonus from the bow plus a fixed bonus from the arrow — so a strong bow with a strong arrow really stacks up. The bow's bonus only applies when you (a player) fire it.
The strongest bows
| Bow | Damage bonus | Durability | What's special |
|---|---|---|---|
| Netherite Bow | +6 | 2000 | The top tier — pure damage and durability. Made via smithing from a Diamond Bow. |
| Diamond Bow | +5 | 1000 | Crafted from 2 diamonds; the best non-smithing bow. |
| Nocturnal Bow | +4 | 369 | Draws noticeably faster, with night particles. Smithing-upgraded from the Netherite Bow. |
| Obsidian Bow | +4 | 750 | High durability, crafted from 2 obsidian. |
| Blaze Bow | +3 | 750 | Sets every target it hits on fire. |
| Copper Bow | +2 | 500 | Fire a Copper Arrow with it to call down lightning on impact. |
There are also 26 wood-variant bows (oak, birch, cherry, crimson and more) — all share the same stats (+2 damage), so pick whichever matches your style.
Arrows with effects
| Arrow | Damage bonus | Effect on hit |
|---|---|---|
| Netherite Arrow | +5 | Pure damage — the hardest-hitting arrow. |
| Obsidian Arrow | +5 | Pure damage. |
| TNT Arrow | +5 | Explodes on impact (breaks blocks like TNT). |
| Blaze Rod Arrow | +4 | Flies wreathed in flames and sets the target alight. |
| Ender Pearl Arrow | +2 | Teleports you to wherever it lands. |
| Bone Arrow | +2 | Applies a short Wither effect. |
| Really Big Arrow | +0 | Massive knockback. |
| Paper / Moss Arrow | +0 | Fired from a Paper or Moss Bow, a random chaotic effect each hit. |
Bow + arrow combos
Some effects only trigger with the right bow. A Copper Bow + Copper Arrow guarantees lightning; a Paper/Moss Bow + Paper/Moss Arrow rolls a random outcome each shot — fire, a teleport swap, lightning, an explosion, or even a few summoned chickens or zombies.
Custom enchantments
There are 7 bow-only enchantments: Quick Pull (draws twice as fast), Monster Hunter (extra damage vs hostiles), Fluid Movement (move faster while aiming), Tempo Thief (slows the enemy, speeds you up), Anti-Gravity (levitates the target), and Bonus Shot / Defensive Shot (fire extra arrows).
