Piercing + Multishot
by uiinpui
Piercing + Multishot lets a crossbow hold the Piercing and Multishot enchantments at the same time, which vanilla does not allow.
What it does
Vanilla keeps Piercing and Multishot apart on a crossbow. This datapack removes that conflict, so one crossbow can carry both enchantments and fire arrows that pierce several targets in a single volley. It is delivered as a data pack, so no mod loader is needed to run it on a server with the pack installed. The server requires the mod, while a player may leave it out and still join.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, across 17 release versions, with builds covering 1.21 – 26.3. The license is All rights reserved and the code is not open source.
Key features
Combined enchantments
Piercing and Multishot can be applied to the same crossbow, which vanilla blocks.
Datapack delivery
The change is shipped as a simple data pack that edits how the two enchantments interact.
Broader crossbow builds
With both enchantments on one crossbow, a single shot can hit more targets in a line.

What the author says
Simple datapack letting you put both Piercing and Multishot on the same Crossbow. These enchantments are incompatible in vanilla, but this datapack changes it to make them compatable with eachother, allowing crossbows to be more overpowered.
