About this Mod

Created for Mana's RPG Modpack (WIP)

Tired of using your super awesome modded bow to hunt creatures, only to find they bounce harmlessly off their skin? Want to kill the wither entirely with ranged projectiles? Just think it's dumb for so many boss monsters to be flat out immune to one of only two kinds of damage the base game provides?

Well no more!

Don't Deflect my Freaking Projectiles makes Arrows no longer tell the enemies they hit that they are, in fact, an arrow. As a result, mobs that deflect arrows like the Wither's second phase or the Frostmaw from Mowzie's mobs will receive the damage as if they had been hit directly. May be useful for modpack developers.

This does not currently stop endermen from dodging arrows however.
