Legacy Bows

by SmushyTaco

Legacy Bows restores the old machine gun bow to Minecraft, with a crossbow option that can be turned off in its config.

FabricClient and serverApache License 2.0Open source1.16.5 – 26.2

What it does

The mod brings back legacy machine gun bows and reworks crossbows through a config setting, so the crossbow behavior can be enabled or disabled. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The required libraries are Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and oωo (owo-lib), with Mod Menu optional for an in-game config screen. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 26.2 on Fabric alone under the Apache License 2.0, and the code is open source.

  2. Crossbow config option
