Craftsman’s bows

This is a simple and small mod that adds some vanilla-style ranged weapons.

I made this as a mod creation and Java coding practice.

With the Sinytra Connector,this mod also work with NeoForge!

Items

Shortbow

• Faster charge, shorter range, and less damage
• Movement speed doesn’t decrease while drawing, and you can even sprint.

Longbow

• Slower charge, longer range, and more damage.
• If you do not charge it to the maximum, the arrow’s flight distance will be greatly reduced.
• The screen zoom while drawing is stronger than with a normal bow.

Shot Crossbow

• A crossbow that fires five arrows at once.
• It cannot be fired unless the bow is drawn all the way back.
• Shot arrows ignore enemy invincibility frames.
• You can’t expect much accuracy and the range is short, but it is very powerful at close range.
• Although it looks like a crossbow, the enchantments it can apply are bow enchantments.

Repeater Crossbow

• A crossbow with incredible rapid-fire.
• Shot arrows ignore enemy invincibility frames.
• When you aim it, it will begin charging, and after a while it will continue firing arrows.
• Once charging is complete, you will be unable to move at all.
• It is awful to use, and it uses a lot of arrows, but it has incredible destructive power.
• Although it looks like a crossbow, the enchantments it can apply are bow enchantments.

Burst Arbalest

• It can be charged up to 9 times.
• Shot arrows ignore enemy invincibility frames.
• It has relatively good distance and accuracy.
• When release it, it will fire arrows equal to the number of charges.
• In short, it’s a less extreme repeater crossbow.
