Stunning Bows
by 7heFiNaTy
Stunning Bows is a Fabric and Forge equipment mod that adds a set of bows with distinct materials and recipes, plus achievements tied to crafting and using them.
What it does
Bows in the mod come in several materials, including Bone, Copper, Golden, Iron and Diamond, each crafted from its own recipe. The author describes the bows as a set of new recipes that players progress through, and the mod also grants achievements for reaching them. Its primary category is Equipment, with Adventure and Utility as secondary categories.
Installation on a server is required, while a client may join with the mod optional, so players can connect without installing it. Files are published for Fabric and Forge, with releases covering 1.21 – 1.21.5 and the latest builds dated 2025-03-08 for Fabric and 2025-07-27 for Forge. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
The author describes the bows as the strongest and most attractive in the game, but this card reports only the mechanics and materials listed in the author text.
