Legacy - Bow Tiers

by ItzSilver_

Legacy - Bow Tiers adds Normal, Strong and Long bows, letting players craft three bow types instead of one.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21.2 – 1.21.8

What it does

The mod introduces bow tiers. Players can craft a Normal Bow, a Strong Bow and a Long Bow, so a single bow is no longer the only ranged option. Each tier's damage depends on which material list was used to craft it, so the choice of materials affects how hard the bow hits.

The server must run the mod, while a player's client may skip it, so joining players do not have to install anything extra. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with bow_tiers+mod for 1.21.8 as the latest file on each loader, and builds cover game versions 1.21.2 – 1.21.8. A data pack version is also available. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Normal Bows

    A basic bow tier is added as the starting option for players who want a standard ranged weapon.

  2. Strong Bows

    A higher-damage bow tier gives players a stronger ranged weapon than the normal bow.

  3. Long Bows

    A bow tier built for longer-range shooting joins the other two tiers.

  4. Material-based damage

    Damage rises with the tier and depends on which crafting materials were used for each bow.
