No Crossbows

This mod removes every crossbow from Minecraft, so you can’t craft, find, or use them at all. You lose a major ranged weapon, making combat way more up-close and risky.

About this Mod

No Crossbows deletes all crossbows, including enchanted ones, pillager drops, and any loot that normally contains them. Crafting recipes are gone, raids won’t give them, and mobs can’t drop them. Without crossbows, players lose options like Quick Charge, Piercing, and fireworks-based attacks. It forces you to rely on melee or other ranged tools, making fights, raids, and Nether exploration much harder and more intense.
