About this Mod
Improved Multishot
Description
Improved Multishot enhances the vanilla Multishot enchantment, providing additional levels and improved arrow mechanics for crossbows. This mod increases the number of arrows fired at higher levels and ensures all arrows reliably hit their intended target. It is fully configurable and compatible with standard Minecraft gameplay.
Features
Extended Multishot Levels
Multishot can now reach Level 2 and Level 3.
Level 1 maintains the vanilla behavior.
Level 2 fires 4 arrows, and Level 3 fires 5 arrows.
Reliable Arrow Hits
Addresses the vanilla issue where multiple arrows may not all hit the same target.
All arrows from a multishot attack strike a single entity without being affected by invulnerability frames.
Configurable Settings
The extra Multishot levels can be enabled or disabled through the configuration file.
By default, the extended levels are enabled.
Compatibility
- Improved Multishot is designed to work seamlessly with most mods that use or extend the vanilla crossbow mechanics.
Confirmed Compatible Mods
- Spartan Weaponry (version 1.0.3 and newer): Multishot Levels II and III now function correctly with Heavy Crossbows.
Potential Mod Conflicts:
Mods that completely replace or override crossbow or projectile logic may interfere with Improved Multishot’s behavior.

Getting Started
