I dont use a bow often, Its a huge effort to get the string and the materials for arrows, espesially if you have a sword lieing around instead. I would much rather use that instead of a bow. Don’t get me wrong, bows are great at times, but I prefer using swords. Then I saw this mod, the crossbow mod. After looking at this mod I made an exception, If there is a crossbow in my chest, I would pick that over my sword.
The mod is fantastic, It is just amazing. It even introduces a scoping system, with a variable zoom, so you can hit your targets from a fare distance, and bring home that pesky pork for dinner!
The crafting recipes are simple, but smart. The mod introduces different types of crossbows that have all got a similar crafting recipe. The crossbows conclude of:
- wooden crossbow
- explosive crossbow
- stone crossbow
- iron crossbow
- gold crossbow
- diamond crossbow
- fire crossbow
- lava crossbow
The mod also includes different types of crossbow bolts, (ammunition for the crossbows) instead of having to use arrows. The bolts conclude of:
- wooden bolt(s)
- explosive bolt(s)
- stone bolt(s)
- iron bolt(s)
- gold bolt(s)
- diamond bolt(s)
- fire bolt(s)
- lava bolt(s)
