What it does

Explosive arrows and a fire charge launcher are the core of the mod. Shots hit blocks and cause explosions, and fire arrows show their effects on impact. A datapack handles the included explosive arrows and fireball launcher, and a command gives a crossbow with preset enchantments such as multishot and quick charge 10. Dropped items are cleared by a datapack tick.

The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.19, 1.20 and 1.21. The server must run it, while players may leave it out and join without it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Explosive arrows

    Arrows that detonate on impact and can destroy blocks in the area they hit.

  2. Fire charge launcher

    Holding a fire charge in the main hand starts firing fire charges repeatedly.

  3. Preset crossbow command

    A command gives a crossbow with multishot and quick charge 10 already applied.
