TheDragon's Blowpipes
TheDragon's Blowpipes adds a blowpipe weapon that fires several kinds of darts, each with its own effect, for hunting enemies at a distance.
What it does
The mod introduces a new ranged weapon with its own reloading system. Different dart types carry unique effects, and the blowpipe can be upgraded to increase its range and damage. Enchantments can be applied to the weapon, so it fits into existing gear progression.
A Dart Pouch stores up to six stacks of darts, and selecting a slot reloads the blowpipe quickly. Some dart designs are recreations of ones from the Sea of Thieves game, and their names and appearances belong to Rare Ltd.
Installation needs Curios API and Moonlight Lib alongside Forge. The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 and is open source under the MIT License. The server and every player need the mod installed.

How it compares
Better Weapons is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, not open source, and it also runs on the client and server. Blowguns covers both Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1, is client and server, and is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, but it is not open source. Ambient Additions is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and covers 1.20 – 1.20.1, so it is the only option here that is open source.
