Make the piglins and pillagers attack you directly. Who goes around with an unloaded crossbow? Any mob that uses a crossbow will just shoot you.

Description
ReadyCrossbow 🏹

ReadyCrossbow is a lightweight Minecraft mod that ensures enemies are always combat-ready. No more grace periods: if a mob spawns with a crossbow, they spawn with it locked and loaded.
🚀 Features
In vanilla Minecraft, mobs like Pillagers or Piglins need to charge their crossbows before their first shot. This mod removes that delay:
- Auto-Charge on Spawn: Any mob spawning with a crossbow will automatically have a projectile loaded.
- Instant Aggression: Combat encounters are more dynamic and challenging, as enemies can fire the moment they detect you.
- Smart State Management: The mod forcefully updates the mob's AI state to "Ready to Attack" if they are holding a charged crossbow, preventing any "waiting" animations.
🛠️ Technical Details
- Compatibility: Works with any entity implementing the
CrossbowAttackMobinterface (Pillagers, Piglins, etc.). - Performance: Extremely lightweight; logic only triggers during the spawn event and AI tick updates.
- Platform: Built for NeoForge.
- Requirement: Java 21 and Minecraft 1.21+.
💻 Installation
Use CurseForge or Modrinth apps to install the mod just search for "ReadyCrossbow" and download the latest version.
Manual Installation
- Ensure you have the NeoForge loader installed.
- Download the mod's
.jarfile. - Place it into your Minecraft
modsfolder.
