Skeleton Arrow Nerf

by Jamma003

Skeleton Arrow Nerf slows the arrows fired by skeletons on Fabric 1.20.1, so players have more time to dodge them.

What it does

The mod changes one behavior: arrows shot by skeletons travel more slowly. Without it, vanilla skeletons fire fast enough that a player with sprinting disabled struggles to avoid arrows even from a long distance. With the change, sidestepping at medium range is usually enough to dodge them. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for 1.20.1 only, on Fabric.

Key features

  1. Slower skeleton arrows

    Arrows fired by skeletons travel at reduced speed, which gives players more time to react at long range.

  2. Medium-range dodging

    At medium distance, sidestepping is usually enough to avoid skeleton arrows without sprinting.

  3. Slightly reduced arrow damage

    Slower projectiles also deal slightly less damage, a side effect of the speed change.

What the author says

Skeleton Arrow Nerf is a simple Fabric mod that reduces the speed of skeleton arrows. If you are playing with sprinting disabled, modern vanilla skeletons shoot arrows that are too fast to avoid, even at long distance. With this mod, sidestepping at medium range is almost always enough to avoid their arrows.
