Locked & Loaded
Locked & Loaded changes the crossbow into a weapon with new enchantments, load modes and firework behavior, for players who want guns-style combat in Minecraft.
What it does
The mod adds a set of crossbow enchantments, several of them inspired by gun games, most notably ULTRAKILL. Multishot, piercing, sharpshooting, rocketry, multichambered, pump and quick charge all extend how a crossbow loads and fires, and some work in combination. Each crossbow enchantment can turn up at the enchanting table, from librarian villagers, in random chests, inside pillager outposts or within trial chambers, and the mod states which of those sources applies to each one.
Loading follows a player-controlled sequence. Holding crouch while loading fires projectiles in a set order, and a crossbow can take several shots at once, spread across a wider pattern like a shotgun. Fireworks have their own rules: a crossbow loads only fireworks by default, and an empty firework produces a random explosion. Fireworks with more explosions carry further, and a firework detonated near the player can launch them in a rocket jump.
Pillagers use the new enchantments. From raid wave 6 they have an extra chance to spawn with them, and they load their crossbows before advancing on a target. Arrows can ricochet off blocks and entities that deflect projectiles, and projectiles ignore invulnerability frames when the same attacker lands repeated hits. The mod is Fabric-only and needs Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin.
