Extra Bows: Restrung

The modification introduces a system of tiered bows and crossbows, now available for materials ranging from stone to netherite.

Crafting recipes are straightforward. To create a bow, simply add two additional elements of the chosen material.

For crossbows, replace the top and bottom central layers of the crafting table with the required material.

Key innovations:

All types of ranged weapons have received a "ranged damage" indicator.

Added a "movement speed" parameter that affects character mobility during aiming. This property provides additional damage to released arrows.

Weapon statistics:

Standard wooden bows and crossbows are preserved as basic options with adapted parameters corresponding to the level of wooden tools. A value of 2 ranged damage units is equivalent to the standard parameters of vanilla weapons.

Ranged damage scale

Durability and enchantability indicators correspond to the standards of the respective materials.

Crossbows demonstrate higher damage growth, compensating for the inability to apply the "Power" enchantment. Diamond and netherite crossbows can inflict over 20 damage units (10 hearts).

Vanilla gameplay optimizations:

• Bows of all types can now be repaired with planks similar to wooden tools
• The crossbow crafting recipe has been changed: iron has been replaced with any type of wood

Mob adaptations:

Skeletons spawning in upgraded armor automatically receive corresponding bows. For example, a skeleton in copper armor is equipped with a copper bow.

Piglins now use golden crossbows instead of standard wooden ones.

Raider patrol leaders are armed with stone crossbows.

Additional features (Fabric only):

bows:ranged_damage - ranged damage parameter for any ranged weapon bows:strafe_speed - movement speed modifier when using weapons, similar to the minecraft:use_effects component from version 1.21.11

Important notes:

• The name "stone" bows/crossbows is used for consistency, these are actually reinforced weapon variants

Compatibility:

• Mob AI Tweaks: wither skeleton archers spawn with stone bows, zombified piglin crossbowmen - with golden crossbows
