Description
Bow Load Indicator
This is a simple resource pack that adds different colors to the different stages of loading bows and crossbows! Check the "Gallery" tab to see what it looks like.
Note that Version 1.1 [beta] (and newer) have been tested in all Minecraft versions 1.17 all the way through 1.20.1. Previous versions of the pack have not been tested on earlier versions, but should still work.
Version '3.1.2 [release]' is the version you should download, it supports 1.17 through 1.21.4
Note that any versions MIGHT work in Minecraft versions 1.16.5 and earlier, however they have not been tested yet.
IMPORTANT
Version 0.1 [alpha] through Version 2.0 [release] are incompatible with the Vanilla Tweaks "Item Stitching Fix" pack. It still works, but has a weird glitch that doesn't look great.
Version 2.1 [beta] and newer are compatible with the Vanilla Tweaks "Item Stitching Fix" pack.
