FAQ
Q. Why is it so expensive???
A. Because it's intended to be an endgame weapon for automation modpacks. If you dare to install the mod without any supporting mods, please don't complain about it being "unbalanced". It's an ender game wonderwaffle that you're supposed to work for.

Server lagging with ShotBow – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if ShotBow consumes the most tick time.
