Better Power

Power is a solid enchantment for any bow user, but I always felt like it was missing something — more damage is great, but shouldn’t a more powerful shot also fly faster? In vanilla, Power just adds bonus damage while the arrow travels at the exact same speed no matter how enchanted it is. 

Better Power does a few main things to the Power Enchantment:

• Arrows now fly faster for every level of Power, gaining a velocity boost per level, on top of Vanilla’s normal damage scaling (which is left untouched) this bonus is 20% of base velocity per level.
• Power now scales up to a max level of X, instead of the Vanilla level cap of V, after defeating the Ender Dragon
• Upon maxing out your Power enchantment, you unlock a cool visual gradient for the enchantment, and whatever item its on.

IMPORTANT

This mod has Dependencies!
Requires: Reworked Anvil.

Config Options

Better Power comes with a config file (found in your instance’s config folder) with three options:

• alwaysMaxLevel (default: false) — When enabled, grinding Power past the vanilla max level (V) up to X is available immediately, without needing to defeat the Ender Dragon first. Leave this off for the intended progression gate.
• gradientTooltipEnabled (default: true) — When enabled, an item with Power X shows an animated gold-to-purple gradient across its entire tooltip.
• gradientItemNameEnabled (default: true) — When enabled, the item’s own name (at the top of the tooltip) also gets the animated gradient, separately from the rest of the tooltip. Turn this off if you only want the tooltip body colored, not the item name.

All three options can be toggled independently, so you can keep the gameplay changes while turning off the cosmetic effects (or vice versa) to match your preference.

Enjoy!
