Moar Crossbows

Moar Crossbows

The Moar Crossbows datapack adds a bunch of new crossbow types to the game. The goal was to try and make unique crossbows that are more than just statistical upgrades while also attempting to still fit in with the art style and general game design of Minecraft. It adds all of the bows from Moar Bows as well as a handful of new ones! They can be quite useful, powerful, strange, silly, or all of the above.

You can craft them in the Vanilla Crafting Table. All recipes can all be found HERE, or in-game in the Recipe Guide

The datapack REQUIRES this Library, as well as this Resource Pack.
