BoomBow

BoomBow

A chaotic but balanced Fabric mod that transforms your ordinary bows and crossbows into handheld TNT cannons!

✨ Features

• Explosive Arsenal: Shoot lit TNT directly from any vanilla Bow or Crossbow. Just hold TNT in your off-hand and watch things go boom!
• Balanced Mechanics: Shooting TNT doesn't require arrows, but it does require Flint and Steel in your inventory to ignite the fuse. Every shot consumes 1 TNT block and 1 durability from your Flint and Steel.
• Custom Physics & Rendering: The TNT renders in 3D as it flies through the air, acting as a physical projectile, and detonates exactly 1 second after hitting the ground or an entity.
• Adjusted Default Power: By default, the TNT projectile has half the explosion power of a standard TNT block. This prevents massive accidental griefing and keeps the crossbow perfectly balanced for rapid-fire combat.
• Mod Menu settings: Tune fuse time, default explosion power, which enchantments work with TNT, whether Flint and Steel is required, and more — all from an in-game config screen. On a server that has the mod, the server's rules take over.

🪄 Enchantment Support

The mod natively integrates with vanilla enchantments to create devastating new synergies:

Bow Enchantments

• Power: Increases the explosion radius and damage! At Power V, the explosion becomes massive, slightly exceeding a standard TNT block.
• Flame: Your flying TNT will visually burn in the air, and upon detonation, it will scatter fire everywhere like a Ghast fireball.
• Infinity: You have infinite ammo! TNT blocks are no longer consumed from your inventory (Note: Flint and Steel durability will still be consumed to maintain balance).

Crossbow Enchantments

• Multishot: Loads and fires 3 TNT blocks simultaneously in a wide spread pattern, while still only consuming 1 TNT from your inventory!
• Piercing: The TNT explodes as it flies through each entity, then keeps going until it hits its last target or a block.

💻 How to Use

1. Equip a Bow or Crossbow in your main hand.
2. Place TNT in your off-hand slot.
3. Ensure you have a Flint and Steel somewhere in your inventory.
4. Draw your weapon and let it fly! (If you run out of Flint & Steel durability, the weapon will refuse to draw).
