New bows and arrows bring tiered gear and fresh ways to fight.
59.3 of the 71 points that apply = 84 out of 100. The points above are rounded to whole numbers.
Archery Expansion adds tiered bows and arrows to give Minecraft archery a progression similar to other tools, with wooden bows and flint arrows, followed by gold, iron, diamond, and netherite equipment. Bow tiers trade speed for power: lower-tier bows draw faster and allow quicker movement while aiming, while higher-tier bows offer greater durability, range, and damage but draw and handle more slowly. After firing, a shooter gains Quickdraw, making them more vulnerable to arrow damage for a short time; this also applies to skeletons, creating an opening to hit them again quickly. A critical hit from an axe can break a bow outright, with higher-tier bows and Unbreaking reducing the risk or its durability cost. Enchantments add further combat options: Headshot increases bow damage, Shattering can damage an opponent’s armor, and Trajectory displays an arrow’s path; armor enchantments such as Grit and Follow-Through grant effects while charging or after a hit. While charging a bow, a small arrow-loading meter appears beneath the crosshair, and bows can be repaired in an anvil using their corresponding materials. Datapacks can alter individual bow stats, including those of bows from other mods, while other mods can add arrow textures for display on this mod’s bow-pull sprites.
Written from Modrinth . How we write it
Changes the game's code in 5 areas: Inventory and itemsChanges 4 game code files in this area: items, chests and other containers, crafting and enchanting., PlayerChanges 3 game code files in this area: your character: movement, abilities, hunger and controls., Mobs and their behaviorChanges 3 game code files in this area: mobs, animals, villagers, projectiles and how they move and act., Rendering and graphicsChanges 1 game code file in this area: drawing mobs, items, particles and textures on screen. and User interfaceChanges 1 game code file in this area: menus, screens, tooltips, the chat window and the in-game overlay..
Adds 9 items, 4 projectiles, 9 enchantments and 10 recipes.
Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.
Replaces 4 of vanilla Minecraft's models, 1 mob and entity texture and 1 recipe.
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and code history and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
