Rapid Fire Crossbow Enchantment
by alzaryx
Rapid Fire Crossbow Enchantment adds a crossbow enchantment that turns a vanilla crossbow into a rapid fire crossbow, and it can only be found in a few structure chests.
What it does
The enchantment adds a magazine to a vanilla crossbow. Each level raises the magazine capacity, increases the pull time and lowers the arrow speed, so a higher level trades speed for volume of fire. The maximum level, and the amount each value changes per level, are set through a datapack rather than a config file, which the mod no longer uses.
The enchanted book is found only in the chests of Pillager Outposts, Bastions and the structures that hold the book. Players who want the enchantment must therefore explore those structures before they can apply it at an enchanting table or an anvil. The server and every player need the mod installed. Fabric builds can run alongside a connector layer, and the mod is published for Fabric and Forge across the 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 range, under All rights reserved and not open source.
Key features
Rapid fire crossbow
The enchantment converts a standard crossbow into one that holds several bolts in a magazine and fires them faster.
Per-level scaling
Each level changes arrow speed, pull time and magazine capacity by a fixed amount, with the maximum level set in the datapack.
Structure-only book
The enchanted book spawns only in Pillager Outpost, Bastion and similar chests, so it is a reward for exploration.
Datapack configuration
Values are changed in a datapack, which replaces the earlier config file.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who explore the structures that hold the enchanted book, and server owners who want to adjust the enchantment through datapacks. Both sides must run it.
