Shortbow
Prefer speed and agility in your archery? The Shortbow is a new weapon designed for rapid-fire skirmishes, allowing you to overwhelm your foes with a quick succession of arrows.
Key Features
The Shortbow introduces a new tactical choice for archers, trading raw power for speed and mobility.
- Looses arrows much more quickly than the standard bow, making it ideal for close-to-mid-range combat.
- To compensate for its speed, the Shortbow has lower damage, a shorter effective range, and less durability.
You can acquire your Shortbow in two ways:
Crafting:
Trading: Find experienced Fletcher villagers who may offer one for trade.
This mod is a fork of the original Shortbow mod by LuckyOwl, updated and maintained for Minecraft 1.20.1.
