About this Mod

Crossbow Expansion adds new Crossbows and Enchantments with unique mechanics while trying to be as vanilla-friendly as possible.

Disc Crossbow

  • Found in Dungeons

  • Uses music discs as ammunition

  • Discs bounce between enemies, piercing increases times the disc can bounce

  • Discs drop after final hit

  • Normal draw time, medium damage

Replay Enchantment

  • Exclusive enchantment for disc crossbow

  • Makes shot discs return to player after final hit instead of dropping

  • Same cost and rarity as infinity

Warden Crossbow

  • Found in ancient city

  • Uses echo shards as ammunition

  • Shoots a sonic boom like the warden

  • Long draw time, high damage

Rage Crossbow

  • Bought from master fletcher villager

  • Shooting it gives stacks, stacks reduce draw time

  • Long draw time at the start, at 5 stacks faster than vanilla crossbow

Hand Crossbow

  • Sold by wandering trader

  • Can't be loaded manually, will load itself when in hand of offhand

  • Slow arrows, so short range but fast reloads

  • Can be dual wielded for maximum effect

Cluster Crossbow

  • Shoots 3 Arrows in tight pattern, multi shot increases this to 9

  • Slightly longer draw time and slow arrows

  • Normal draw speed and projectile speed

  • Piercing enchant is now disabled on this crossbow
