About this Mod
🏹 Lingering Arrows
Lingering Arrows is a simple mod for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 that adds a tactical feature to archery.
In vanilla Minecraft, when a tipped arrow hits a block, its potion effect disappears. This mod changes that mechanic. Now, when a tipped arrow hits any block or entity, it creates a lingering potion effect cloud at that position, and the arrow is removed.
Features:
• Tactical Combat: If you do not hit a target directly, you can shoot at the ground to poison a group of enemies or heal your teammates.
• Vanilla Balance: The cloud gets the exact same duration, color, and potion effect that the arrow had.
• Good Performance: The mod is optimized for Forge, so it does not cause lag or game crashes.
This mod is perfect for survival gameplay and PvP servers.

• Strength: Level I — 11 sec (+3 damage) / Level II — 5 sec (+6 damage).
• Harming: Level I — 6 points of instant damage / Level II — 12 points. Heals undead mobs.
• Poison: Level I — 5 sec / Level II — 2 sec of rapid poison damage.
🛡️ Defensive Effects:

• Fire Resistance: 30 sec of complete immunity to fire and lava.
• Turtle Master: Level I — 2 sec (Resistance III, Slowness IV) / Level II — 2 sec (Resistance IV, Slowness IV).
🏃♂️ Mobility & Control:

Lingering Arrows — это простой мод для Minecraft Forge 1.20.1, который добавляет тактическую глубину в стрельбу из лука.
В оригинальном Майнкрафте, когда стрела с эффектом попадает в блок, её магическое действие просто исчезает. Этот мод меняет данную механику. Теперь, когда стрела с эффектом сталкивается с любым блоком или существом, она создаёт оседающее облако эффекта в этой точке, а сама стрела удаляется.
