About this Mod

[DEPRECATED] THIS PROJECT IS DEPRECATED AND WILL NO LONGER RECEIVE UPDATES OR SUPPORT.

Stronger Crossbows

This datapack aims to make Crossbows more viable, from early game to late game.

Crossbow's arrows now almost have equivalent damage to that of a Power 4 Bow by default without enchantments.

This balances out due to the crossbow being unable to recieve power, flame, infinity, etc. And it's slower charge-up without Quick-Charge.

This damage buff also effects mobs that use crossbow (eg. Pillagers, Piglins)
