Launchers and Arrows

by stln

Launchers and Arrows adds bows, launchers and arrows to Minecraft Java Edition, with ammunition built from items such as Blaze Rods, Wind Charges and Slime Balls.

What it does

Each arrow type gets its own effect. Arrows can knock down enemies with rain bolts, reflect fired arrows, or extend the reach of a weapon. Several settings change how a bow behaves: a lower chance of losing durability, a shorter charge time, less arrow dispersion and a higher maximum loading capacity.

Some launchers and arrows need the Grappling Hook function or the Boxed Bolts fire from other mods to work as intended. The author recommends installing a recipe viewer such as JEI to check how each item is crafted. The mod is aimed at players who want more ways to fight in survival and adventure play, and some bolt weapons are restricted to the Bolt Thrower.

Launchers and Arrows is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with files for 1.21 and 1.21.1. Both the server and every player need it, because it runs on client and server. The code is not public, though a source link is available, and all rights are reserved.

Key features

  1. Arrow variants

    Arrows are crafted from materials such as Blaze Rods, Wind Charges, Fire Charges, Glow Ink Sacs, Amethyst Shards and Slime Balls.

  2. Bow and launcher combat

    Bows and launchers give players several new ways to engage in combat and vary how battles play out.

  3. Rain bolt knockback

    Rain bolts can knock enemies down, which changes how a fight is positioned.

  4. Weapon tuning

    Options extend weapon range, reduce charge time and limit arrow dispersion, so aim and timing matter more.

What the author says

You have many ways to engage in combat, making battles more fun. I recommend installing a recipe mod (e.g., JEI) to check how to craft items.
