Better Multishot

by OffsetMonkey538

Better Multishot changes the bow and crossbow multishot enchantment, with three levels that fire more arrows per shot.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.19 – 1.21

What it does

At level 1 the multishot enchantment fires three arrows, as in vanilla. Level 2 fires five arrows and level 3 fires seven. The extra arrows deal half the damage of the main arrow, and the enchantment can be applied to more items than in vanilla. Multishot books can be found from villagers and the enchanting table, and some items must be combined with a book on an anvil to receive the enchantment.

The mod depends on Fabric API and MonkeyLib538, both required on Fabric. Better Multishot runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 13 release versions 1.19 – 1.21, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Snapshot builds are published as well.

Key features

  1. Three multishot levels

    Each level raises the number of arrows fired per shot, from three in vanilla to seven at the highest level.

  2. Reduced extra-arrow damage

    Arrows beyond the main one deal half damage, so the higher levels add volume without matching the main arrow's hit.

  3. Wider enchantment targets

    More items can take multishot than in vanilla, and each enchantment is applied to the item it belongs to.

  4. Enderpearl support

    Ender pearls are included among the items that can carry the enchantment, as the author notes.

Questions

Does the server need the mod?

Why do some items need an anvil to get multishot?

Other items must be combined with a multishot book on an anvil. Books can be found from villagers or the enchanting table.
