BowOptimizer
by BuHuIIyx_
BowOptimizer changes how a held bow fires on the client, so players who hold right-click can shoot with minimal delay.
What it does
Holding the right mouse button with a bow lets BowOptimizer release the shot as soon as the lowest usable charge is reached and re-pull the bow for the next one. The mod runs on the client alone, so only the player who installs it needs it, and it works in singleplayer, on servers and in multiplayer. Fabric API is required, and files are published for 1.21.1, 1.21.4 and 1.21.11, under the Apache License 2.0, which is not open source.
Key features
Held-bow firing
Holding right-click with a bow fires with minimal delay instead of waiting for a full draw.
Automatic re-pull
After each release the bow is pulled back to the lowest usable charge again, ready for the next shot.
Macro-free rapid fire
The rapid fire works without external macro or auto-clicker software, which the author notes as an alternative.
