大狗大狗叫叫叫 - BigDogBark
BigDogBark changes the firing sound of bows, crossbows and tridents, so a charged shot plays a bark that rises in pitch and speed the longer the bow is drawn.
What it does
When a charged shot is launched, the bark's pitch and playback speed climb gradually, so a fully drawn shot ends on a higher, faster sound than a short one. The effect is limited to the firing sound and does not change arrows, damage or any other gameplay value.
The mod is a client-side only change: players install it on their own game and servers do not need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the latest build is 1.1.0 for 1.21.1, released 2026-07-11. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Charged bark sound
Charged shots from bows, crossbows and tridents play the Big Dog bark instead of the vanilla release sound.
Gradual pitch and speed
The longer a shot is charged, the higher the bark's pitch and playback speed when the arrow or trident leaves the weapon.
Sound on launch
The bark plays at the moment of firing, so the change is heard on each release rather than while drawing.
Separate weapon sounds
The firing sound is replaced per weapon type, so bows, crossbows and tridents each keep the bark behaviour.

Use cases
Archery with a bark
Players who want a comic firing sound on a bow can use the mod in single-player or on a multiplayer client without any server change.
Trident throws
Players throwing charged tridents hear the same rising bark, which matches the pitch change on bows.
Who it’s for: Players who want a different firing sound for bows, crossbows and tridents, on a client that runs Fabric, Forge or NeoForge for 1.20.1 or 1.21.1.
How it compares
Archery Expansion is open source under the Apache License 2.0, runs on client and server, and has files only for 1.20.1. Skeleton Uses Custom Bow is released under the MIT License, needs the server to run it with optional client support, and covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 on Forge and NeoForge. BigDogBark is client-side only and covers both 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.

When charged, the "Big Dog" will gradually increase its pitch and playback speed, and will "bark" when launched.
