Description

Vanilla+ Bows

Vanilla+ Bows expands Minecraft’s ranged combat with new bows and arrows made from iron, gold, diamond, emerald, and netherite.

Each bow determines how a shot is launched, while each arrow determines its impact. Vanilla bows and arrows remain fully supported as a balanced starting option.

  • 5 new arrow materials with damage multipliers and tactical effects.

Iron and gold arrows have two crafting options:

  • 1 nugget crafts 1 arrow.
  • 1 ingot crafts 9 arrows.
