Blowguns
Blowguns adds a blowgun that fires darts, with enchantments, potion-tipped darts and a pouch for carrying ammunition.
What it does
Blowgun is a weapon crafted from two bamboo placed side by side, and each dart is crafted from a single bamboo. Three enchantments apply only to blowguns, and darts crafted with lingering potions become Tipped Darts, in the same way tipped arrows work. A dart pouch, crafted from string and leather, holds three darts and behaves like a Bundle that only stores darts.
The mod runs on Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 only, and the server and every player need it. Equipped pouches can appear in trinket or Curios slots, and the player's equipped slots are rendered on the model. The code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, so the project is not open source. The first files were published on 2025-06-29 and the latest files are version 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, also dated 2025-06-29.
Blowgun enchantments and the pouch add ammunition handling to the existing Equipment category, and the Adventure tag reflects the ranged play the blowgun supports.
