Powershot Enhanced
by jacobxny
Powershot Enhanced lets arrows, tridents, ender pearls, snowballs, eggs and potions break blocks on impact, with the breakable blocks set in a config file.
What it does
By default only arrows and tridents break blocks, and each projectile type can be switched on or off in the config. Tridents fired from dispensers behave like arrows. A bow charged for longer shoots a more accurate projectile, which is the mechanic the mod builds on. The mod is meant to make projectiles feel closer to real ones in the game, and it later adds a few extra features on top of the Powershot base.
The breakable block list lives in powershotenhanced.json, which is created in the Minecraft instance folder. Blocks are added to the breakable section by their identifier, such as minecraft:grass_block, and each projectile can be limited to certain blocks by setting its entry to true. Powershot Enhanced is installed on the server only, so players join without adding anything to their own game. It requires Fabric API and is released under the MIT License, though the code is not open source in the strict sense of the term used here. Files cover Minecraft 1.21 – 1.21.11, and the latest Fabric build, 1.0.0, was published on 2026-01-30.
Key features
Configurable projectile breaking
Arrows and tridents break blocks by default, and the other projectiles can be enabled in the config.
Per-projectile block lists
Each projectile can be restricted to specific blocks, so one type can break grass while another cannot.
Dispenser trident shots
Tridents fired from dispensers travel like arrows and can break blocks along the way.
Charge-based accuracy
A longer bow charge gives a more accurate shot, which shapes how the breaking works in practice.

How it compares
Tritastic is a Fabric mod for 1.21.6 – 1.21.11 that runs on client and server, released under the MIT License and open source. Arrow Attachments is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that needs both sides, licensed as All rights reserved and not open source. Crafting Trident is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.4 that runs on the server only, licensed as All rights reserved and not open source, so it does not cover the Fabric builds that Powershot Enhanced targets.

What the author says
This mod is heavily inspired by the mod Powershot, I would highly recommend you check out it before installing this. Powershot Enhanced brings the features from the mod Powershot into later versions(1.21.x), and a few extra features, which can make your projectiles feel like... well actual projectiles
