Description

Archers' Arsenal is a focused expansion to the ranged combat system of Minecraft. It attempts to make vanilla-style archery more competitive in modded Minecraft, where boss difficulty can be far higher than in vanilla. It also attempts to reduce grind by making farming for Infinity enchantments less of a necessity with cheaper arrows, arrow-saving quivers, and golden bows with built-in Infinity.

Current features include:

Leather bows
Iron bows
Golden bows
Diamond bows
Netherite bows
Villager arrows (cheaper and weaker than vanilla)
Barbed arrows (more expensive and more powerful than vanilla)
Quivers (has a 25% chance to save your arrows when held in the off-hand)

All recipes are available on JEI and following fairly predictable bow crafting recipes.

Archers' Arsenal is currently supported for:

Forge for Minecraft 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.19.4
MC Fabric for 1.19.2 + 1.20.1

Any builds for MC versions other than those listed above are not actively supported and may not function as intended. Archers' Arsenal (Forge Versions) depends on the Knightcore library. Special thanks to Gruulbby, Kaupenjoe, Vazkii, and wildcard_gamer.
