More Bows and Arrows
by Lupin
With More Bows and Arrows installed, players get around fifty new bows and arrows, several of which fire TNT or deal extra damage.
What it does
The mod expands ranged combat by adding a large set of bows and arrows, each with its own abilities and characteristics. Some arrows carry explosives, and some bows hit harder than the vanilla versions. The stated aim is to keep the feel of vanilla play while giving bows more options and a more enjoyable use.
Six new enchantments are included, with mechanics such as loading a bow faster or firing several arrows at once. The mod depends on MonoLib, which must be installed alongside it on every loader. Client and server both need the mod, so every player on a server that runs it needs it too.
Builds cover 1.18.2 – 26.1.2 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with Fabric and NeoForge files for 1.21.1 and Forge for 1.20.1. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though public source code links exist. Bows from this mod can also use arrows added by other mods of the same style, and the author invites reports of any compatibility problems.

Use cases
Ranged combat focus
Players who spend much of their time fighting at range can pick bows suited to different enemies and situations.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want more bow variety in a vanilla-leaning game, and who can add MonoLib to their installation.
How it compares
Ranged Weapon Damage Modifier runs client and server on Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.2 – 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, so it does not cover Fabric. Too Many Bows is client and server on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.2, with All rights reserved, and is not open source. Vanilla+ Bows is a Fabric-only mod for 26.2 under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and it is open source. RangedJS is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1.

What the author says
The goal of More Bows and Arrows is to add a wide variety of bows and arrows with new abilities, more damage, and most importantly, more fun to use. Also, always trying to make the game experience as “vanilla” as possible, but with great improvements for the bows and arrows. For exceptional server hosting services…
