After preparing the Ability, the next shot will fire multiple spread out arrows. Cooldown: 6 seconds.

Replaces the vanilla Multishot effect, meaning that Bows enchanted with Multishot won't fire additional arrows unless the Ability is used, however, the amount of arrows fired by the Ability is much higher.

After preparing the Ability, the next arrow shot will pierce through enemies and ignore their armor. Cooldown: 8 seconds.

Replaces the vanilla Piercing effect, meaning that Crossbows enchanted with Piercing Shot won't pierce through enemies unless the Ability is used, however, the arrow fired by the Ability not only pierces through enemies, but also completely ignores their armor, dealing "true" damage, unless the armor is enchanted with Projectile Protection, which is going to reduce this damage.

After preparing the Ability, the next attack will strike all enemies in a moderate radius around you increasing with enchantment level and deal increased damage to all enemies based on the amount of enemies hit. Cooldown: 8 seconds.

Replaces the vanilla Sweeping Edge effect, but not completely - Swords enchanted with Sweeping Edge will still hit all the mobs in the Sweeping Edge radius, but not deal increased damage unless the Ability is used, however, the additional damage will be increased further based on how many mobs were hit, up to a cap.

After preparing the Ability, the next attack will briefly slow down the enemy and apply Bleeding for several seconds. Slow intensity and Bleeding damage increases with enchantment level. Skeletal enemies are immune to Bleeding. Cooldown: 10 seconds.

Unlike other Abilities, this one is a new enchantment and does not replace any existing vanilla enchantment.

Releasing the Bow in a short window after fully charging it performs a Perfect Shot, which makes the fired arrow deal additional critical damage. To indicate that the shot was a Perfect Shot, the arrow will leave trails behind it, and the firing sound will have a higher pitch.

This replaces the vanilla critical arrow mechanic (which just adds random additional damage after the bow has been fully charged), making Bow damage fully consistent and easier to adapt to. On default settings, this makes Bows deal significantly less damage compared to vanilla if you're not making use of Perfect Shots.

Pressing the Perform Backstep key (default: Left Alt) in a short window after hitting an enemy with an arrow performs a Backstep which makes the player dash backwards a short distance based on the level of the enchantment.

Backstep can be obtained by enchanting Bows in the enchanting table with a rarity similar to the Flame enchantment or in looted enchanted books.

Drawing the Bow now plays a sound, similar to the sound played when loading a Crossbow. This applies to both players and mobs, so you can now hear Skeletons and other players drawing their Bow, indicating that you're about to get shot at.

Bows can now be upgraded to a Netherite Bow in the same way you upgrade tools and armor to Netherite, which gives it fire resistance, significantly increased durability, and a new look.

Arrows shot from Crossbows will now deal a consistent amount of damage, instead of picking a random number from a range like in vanilla. On default settings, this is an overall buff to damage dealt, and makes it easier to adapt to the damage.

Firework explosion damage has been increased significantly to make them viable for use in combat with Crossbows. On default settings, a firework with one firework star will already deal slightly more damage than an arrow fired from the Crossbow, and a maxed out firework with seven firework stars will deal more damage than even an arrow fired from the Crossbow enhanced with Power 5.

On default settings, loading the Crossbow takes noticeably longer. The Quick Charge enchantment will still decrease the loading time.

On default settings, Crossbows can now be enchanted with Power and Infinity, but can no longer be enchanted with Multishot.

Crossbows can now be upgraded to a Netherite Crossbow in the same way you upgrade tools and armor to Netherite, which gives it fire resistance, significantly increased durability, and a new look.

Sword attacks made shortly after blocking an attack with a Shield will critically strike for increased damage. Disables vanilla sword critical strikes.

On default settings, Swords can no longer be enchanted with Knockback.

On default settings, Axes can now be enchanted with Knockback and Looting.

On default settings, every armor piece can now be enchanted with up to two different Protection enchantments at the same time. Every Protection change is balanced around this fact.

The regular protection enchantment has been replaced with Melee Protection, which provides moderate damage resistance to most close up physical damage sources, meaning it no longer protects against any other damage type.

The Fire Protection enchantment has been replaced with Elemental Protection, which provides high resistance to fire, lightning and freeze damage and reduced burn time if you're set ablaze.

Magic Protection is a new Protection enchantment which provides high resistance to magic attacks.

Makes bows and crossbows enchanted with Infinity not require having an arrow in the inventory. Enabled by default.

Changes the tipped arrow recipe to use regular potions instead of lingering ones. Enabled by default.

Allows Infinity and Mending to be used on the same bow or crossbow. Disabled by default.
