Needed by other mods to add custom bows and crossbows.

Ranged Weapon API is a developer library for creating functional custom bows and crossbows and integrating existing ranged weapons into Minecraftโs ranged-weapon systems. Developers can set weapon damage and draw time, with optional projectile-velocity settings; the API also registers vanilla-compatible model predicates and handles first- and third-person rendering and the field-of-view change while drawing. Weapon properties appear in tooltips, and the API provides ranged-damage, draw-speed, and pull-time attributes; damage and draw speed can be modified, while pull time is configured on the weapon itself. The properties component also lets third-party bows and crossbows participate without custom Java integration, so attribute bonuses can scale their projectile damage and their pull time can be configured. Supported mob AI lets skeletons, strays, bogged, and illusioners use custom bows, while pillagers and piglins use custom crossbows, with weapon-specific draw times and appropriate arm poses. The API adapts the Power enchantment to grant a percentage ranged-damage bonus, allowing it to work with the attribute-based damage system.
Written from Modrinth , CurseForge and the GitHub README . How we write it
Changes the game's code in 5 areas, as a library other mods build on: Mobs and their behaviorChanges 12 game code files in this area: mobs, animals, villagers, projectiles and how they move and act., Inventory and itemsChanges 6 game code files in this area: items, chests and other containers, crafting and enchanting., Rendering and graphicsChanges 4 game code files in this area: drawing mobs, items, particles and textures on screen., PlayerChanges 2 game code files in this area: your character: movement, abilities, hunger and controls. and Game coreChanges 2 game code files in this area: the main loop, lighting and other code the whole game uses..
Adds 1 item: sec Pull Time.
Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.
Replaces 1 of vanilla Minecraft's enchantments.
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.
