Longshot
by boyonk
Longshot changes how far arrows, tridents, firework rockets and thrown items fly by raising their velocity and damage through a configurable potion effect.
What it does
Longshot adds an archer's Strength potion effect that increases the velocity and damage of fired projectiles, including arrows, tridents and firework rockets. Ender pearls and fishing bobbers also travel farther under the effect, which opens up utility uses that were not practical before. Brewing uses a Nautilus Shell with an Awkward Potion, and every part of the effect can be set in the config.
The config controls the potion's color, given as a 6-digit hexadecimal value or a color name, and the duration for the normal, long and strong versions in ticks. It also sets the item used as the potion ingredient, written as a resource location, and the velocity increase applied per amplifier level. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, across 15 release versions, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
