Overview
A simple, lightweight plugin that adds customisable explosive bows and crossbows - you can enable/disable the items & edit their power in the config.yml!
What does it do?
The plugin adds a crafting recipe for a bow and a crossbow, which shoot explosive arrows (by default, the crossbow only works with rocket to not make it too overpowered), which can be changed in the config.yml (not added yet in ALPHA)
How do I customise it?
By default, this plugin should create a folder in /plugins, called ExplosiveBow, where the config is located!
