Progressive Archery

Welcome to the world of enhanced archery! This mod fundamentally transforms ranged combat in Minecraft while preserving the spirit of the original game.

Main Features

The mod introduces a comprehensive progression system for bows, crossbows, and arrows, similar to the development of mining tools and melee weapons. You'll gain access to various types of bows and arrows suitable for any playstyle, as well as new blocks, items, and villager trading.

Bow Progression

Each subsequent upgrade level makes the bow more durable, accurate, and faster-firing. Upgrading requires a wooden bow, special ingredients, and a Bow Fusion Smithing Template that can be found through exploration or combat.

Bow Varieties

Standard Bow - basic version with the fastest draw time but slow projectiles.

Horn Bow - sturdy and powerful version with the same draw speed as vanilla bow, but increased durability and firing speed.

Crossbow - reinforced design with pre-loaded projectiles, high accuracy, and ability to shoot reworked fireworks.

Longbow - large weapon with extended draw time, maximum durability and high projectile speed, but low accuracy.

Tubular Bow - unique construction with the lowest durability and long draw time, but firing projectiles at maximum speed.

Arrow Types

The Fletching Table now has practical use! Various arrow types are crafted using it:

Standard Arrows - for bows, horn bows, longbows, and crossbows.

Kid Arrows - created by cutting standard arrows at the fletching table, designed for tubular bows.

Golden Arrows - can be tipped with potions through a cauldron with corresponding potions.

Ranged Combat Changes

Quiver - special item storing multiple slots of arrows, kid arrows, and fireworks. When drawing a bow, suitable ammunition is automatically used from the quiver.

Enchantments - all bow types can now receive: Power, Piercing, Punch, Flame, Multishot, Quick Charge, Unbreaking, and Mending. Infinity became a treasure enchantment for quivers, while Quick Charge is applied through special items.

Fireworks - now affected by bow enchantments. Explosions deal increased damage, enhanced by Power and can apply Punch and Flame effects.

Projectile Behavior - projectiles gain the thrower/shooter's velocity. Dispensers shoot with increased accuracy and speed. Potions have cooldown except for water bottles.

Mob Combat

Mobs with bows and crossbows now use modified weapon versions and arrows, shooting with increased speed and accuracy depending on world difficulty.

Villagers

Archer - villager protecting the village with bows, attacking zombies, raiders, and hostile players. Gains experience from kills and improves skills.

Fletcher - has modified trade offers and can upgrade archers' bows under certain conditions.

Additional Features

New items include:

• Horsehair, Striderhair, and Hoglinhair for creating Quick Charge
• Fireproof leads for Nether safety
• Copper nuggets for crafting copper arrows
