BowBoost Helper
by qPale1
BowBoost Helper is a client-side Fabric mod that marks the bow boost angle on the crosshair, so a player can aim at the optimal 45 degree angle while boosting in PvP.
What it does
While a player aims a bow, the crosshair changes color once the aim reaches the perfect boost angle, giving instant visual feedback instead of guesswork. The check runs in real time, and an adjustable angle range and a delay setting let the player tune when the signal appears. Custom crosshair colors are available as well, and every feature can be switched on or off in the options.
The mod is meant for timing bow boosts with more precision and for reacting faster in fights, where repeatable aim matters. Because it only changes what the local client displays, it has no effect on server behavior, and players can join servers without the mod on the server side. It requires Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu, and it is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Release builds cover 12 versions, and the latest Fabric file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-04-02.
Key features
Perfect angle highlight
The crosshair changes color when the bow aim reaches the perfect boost angle of 45 degrees.
Adjustable angle range
The accepted angle range can be narrowed or widened, so the signal matches the aim a player is practicing.
Custom crosshair colors
The color of the crosshair in each state can be set, with an optional custom crosshair that keeps a clean, minimal look.
Feature toggles
Each function can be turned on or off separately, so the crosshair stays unchanged when the signal is not wanted.

Use cases
