[DEPRECATED] Stronger Crossbows
by rainzy
Stronger Crossbows, a deprecated mod, changes how arrows fired from crossbows deal damage so they match a Power 4 bow.
What it does
The mod buffs arrows shot from crossbows. Without enchantments, a crossbow arrow deals damage close to that of a Power 4 bow arrow, which offsets the crossbow's inability to take Power, Flame or Infinity. Charging stays slower unless Quick Charge is applied. Mobs that use crossbows, such as Pillagers and Piglins, also receive the damage increase. Only the server needs the mod for the effect to apply, while players may still add it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, for 1.19.4 – 1.20.4, under All rights reserved and not open source.
Key features
Crossbow arrow damage
Arrows fired from crossbows deal damage close to a Power 4 bow without any enchantments applied.
Mob crossbow buff
Crossbow damage also applies to mobs such as Pillagers and Piglins that carry crossbows.
Slower charging kept
Charge-up remains slower unless Quick Charge is used, so the buff does not remove that trade-off.

What the author says
Crossbow's arrows now almost have equivalent damage to that of a Power 4 Bow by default without enchantments. This balances out due to the crossbow being unable to recieve power, flame, infinity, etc. And it's slower charge-up without Quick-Charge.
