About this Mod
Crossbow & Bow Optimizer
Make bows and crossbows feel sharper, cleaner, and more responsive.
Crossbow & Bow Optimizer is a lightweight client-side Fabric mod, that improves ranged weapon feel with cleaner local feedback, smoother charge handling, and more reliable shot responsiveness under latency.
It is built for players who want bow and crossbow gameplay to feel crisp instead of delayed, noisy, or inconsistent.

Why Players Use It
- Makes bow and crossbow feedback feel faster
- Cleans up charge and release feel
- Improves crossbow consistency under ping
- Reduces delayed duplicate firing sounds
- Adds a minimal, focused HUD for weapon state
- Stays lightweight and client-side
What It Improves
This mod handles important ranged-weapon feedback locally so actions feel cleaner the moment you use them.
For bows, charging and release feel more immediate and consistent.
For crossbows, charged-state feedback is cleaner and shot timing feels more stable under latency.
It also reduces the messy feeling caused by late duplicate firing sounds and gives you a compact HUD view for charge and shot state.
