Archery Expansion Mod adds a full progression system for bows and arrows in Minecraft. While swords and tools have tiers like wood, iron, and diamond, bows are usually stuck with just one type. This mod changes that by introducing new bows and arrows made from different materials, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

Features:
- Adds five new tiers for bows and arrows: Wooden, Gold, Iron, Diamond, and Netherite.
- Lower-tier bows draw faster and let you move quicker, but are weaker. Higher-tier bows are stronger but slower to draw.
- Introduces the Quickdraw mechanic, which makes anyone who just fired a bow take extra damage from the next arrow hit.
- Skeletons now spawn with weaker Cursed Bows. Note that your existing vanilla bows will become Cursed Bows when this mod is added.
- Find new enchantments like Trajectory, which shows your arrow’s path, and Headshot, which deals extra damage.
- A new meter appears under your crosshair to show how far your bow is drawn.
- Repair the new bows in an anvil using their matching materials (e.g., iron ingots for an Iron Bow).
- Discover tiered arrows in loot chests inside structures like Pillager Outposts, End Cities, and Bastions.
Configuration:
- The stats for each bow can be changed using a datapack.
- You can also use datapacks to add compatibility for bows and arrows from other mods.
