What it does

The Basalt Bow fires arrows that leave fire particles behind, and it can be found in chests inside Bastion structures. The Spider Bow spawns cobweb blocks where its arrows land, with a chance to drop from Mineshaft chests. The Guardian Bow draws twice as fast, and it is obtained by killing an Elder Guardian. The Pale Bow shoots arrows at twice the normal velocity and comes from a custom structure in the Pale Garden biome.

The mod is written in Java and was built following a tutorial by Kaupenjoe. It runs on Fabric and requires Fabric API. Builds target game version 26.2 only. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Its source code is available, and it is released under the MIT License as an open source project.
