No Bows
This mod removes all bows from Minecraft, so you can’t craft or use ranged bow attacks anymore. Combat becomes way more close range and risky.
⬇ Download on ModrinthNo Bows completely deletes bows, enchanted bows, and bow crafting recipes from the game. Skeleton drops won’t give you bows either, so you lose one of the easiest early-game ranged weapons. You’re forced to fight up close, rely on melee weapons, or use alternative ranged items like snowballs, tridents, or crossbows if you allow them. It makes combat tougher, boss fights longer, and survival a lot more dangerous without easy ranged options.
