Eliminates artificial client-side bow and crossbow release delay on high-ping Minecraft servers.

What It Does

By default, Minecraft waits for server confirmation before registering bow and crossbow shots. On 100ms+ ping, this causes visible release lag, animation desync, and sluggish item switching.

G1axBowOptimizer processes draw and release progress locally, eliminating input latency so shooting feels immediate on any ping.

  • Instant Release β€” Arrows and bolts fire immediately when you release right-click.
  • No Animation Desync β€” Bow model relaxes instantly without staying drawn too long.
  • Fast Item Switching β€” Switch hotbar items immediately after firing without delay.
  • Consistent Rapid Fire β€” Spam shooting feels predictable on 10ms or 200ms ping.
  • Vanilla Server Safe β€” 100% client-side. The server still handles damage and arrow physics authoritatively.

How It Works

G1axBowOptimizer uses Fabric Mixins to:

  1. Track draw/charge progress locally via ClientPlayerEntity tick events.
  2. Hook into BowItem and CrossbowItem to register release input without waiting for network round-trips.
  3. Suppress redundant desync packets in ClientPlayNetworkHandler.

Quick Install

  1. Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 1.21.11.
  2. Install Fabric API.
  3. Place g1ax-bow-optimizer-1.0.0.jar into your .minecraft/mods directory.
  4. Join any server and shoot. No configuration needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does G1axBowOptimizer need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks G1axBowOptimizer as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does G1axBowOptimizer require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

G1axBowOptimizer is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
