Lingering Arrows
by Miniteks_068
Lingering Arrows makes Tipped Arrows leave a lingering potion cloud where they strike a block, a Forge mod for 1.20.1.
What it does
When a tipped arrow hits a block or a block entity, the potion effect normally disappears on impact in vanilla Minecraft. With Lingering Arrows, the hit creates a lingering potion cloud at the position of the arrow, so the effect stays on the ground and affects anyone who enters it. The mod is aimed at archery as a tactical option, with players placing clouds to control a fight rather than relying on a single hit.
The mod is described by its author for survival gameplay and PvP servers. Its combat effects cover damage, healing of undead mobs, poison damage over time, speed and jump height changes, and a slowing effect with standard, extended and stronger levels. The mod requires Forge and is built for Minecraft 1.20.1 only. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Lingering potion clouds
A tipped arrow that hits a block leaves a cloud of its potion effect at the point of impact, instead of the effect vanishing.
Damage and healing effects
Potion levels add instant damage, short bursts of extra damage, and healing for undead mobs, with level II stronger than level I.
Speed and jump changes
Effects raise movement speed and jump height for a set time, with a higher level giving a larger bonus and a shorter duration.
Slow effects
Standard, extended and stronger slowing effects reduce movement speed, with the strongest level lasting the shortest time.
