Features

This section describes features available for the version under active development. Older versions may have different features.

Arrows

  • Diamond: 2x Damage, +1 Pierce, +1 Knockback
  • Prismarine: No water slowdown; reduced gravity in water.
  • Quartz: 1.25x Damage, +1 Knockback
  • Blaze: Burns target and ignites radius around it.
  • Frost: Chills target and freezes area around it.
  • Lightning: Calls down a lightning bolt, if it hits outside.
  • Ender: Teleports player to location; or swaps places with the target.
  • Explosive: This one is obvious.
  • Phantasmal: Flies through blocks, unlimited pierce, ignores gravity and armor. Glows.
  • Shulker: Homes in on a target; levitation status effect.
  • Slime: Ricochets and has lots of knockback. (A personal favorite.)
  • Spore: Transforms Dirt and Grass into Mycelium in an area.
  • Verdant: Transforms Dirt into Grass in an area. Also grows crops/plants.
  • Training: No damage, stacks a "Hit Streak" effect, for practice. Distance matters!
  • Challenge: No damage, stacks "Archer's Gambit" effect. XP for maintaining hit streak. Distance matters!

There is one creative tab, currently with only the arrows. More content (quivers, archery-themed blocks, etc) will be developed!

For those of you who may recognize some of these icons from another archery themed mod - Bullseye - Forstride has very graciously given me permission to carry the quiver forward as it were. Frankly, we had a lot of similar ideas (although mechanically different execution) and Bullseye has excellent artwork that deserves to live on in 1.14+.
