🏹 Compound Bow Datapack

"I gave purpose to a block Mojang forgot."

Welcome to the next evolution of archery in Minecraft — not a re-skin, not a gimmick, but a genuine upgrade that stays true to the game’s vanilla roots.

This is not a mod. No Forge. No Fabric.
Just pure datapack wizardry.

🔧 What Is It?

The Compound Bow Datapack adds a fully functional, hitscan-powered compound bow system to Minecraft. This isn’t just a cosmetic change — it’s a complete overhaul of how ranged combat feels in-game.

Inspired by modern archery innovation, this bow is:

• Modularly crafted

• Progressively charged

• Raycast-fired

• And totally vanilla-compatible.

🪶 The Fletching Table — Finally Functional

Tired of fletching tables collecting dust? This datapack transforms it into a modular crafting station, letting you build compound bows and custom arrows using tagged components and real player interaction — no GUIs required.

Craft it. Charge it. Feel the draw weight.
Then let that arrow rip — and yes, it can punch through the Ender Dragon at full charge.

🔥 Core Features

• 🏹 Custom Compound Bow
  Modular draw stages, real power scaling, full raycast logic.

• 🪓 Custom Arrow Types
  Crafted via logical NBT-aware systems (e.g., carbon-alloy shafts, fletching bundles).

• 🛠️ NBT-Driven Crafting System
  Components like pulleys, bow limbs, risers — all tracked through player scoreboards and tags.

• 🧠 Smart Crafting Refunds
  Misuse your materials? Not a problem. The system checks and refunds based on context.

• 🎯 Precision-Based Combat
  No more ballistic drop guessing. At full charge, this thing hits wherever you’re aiming — instantly.

• 📦 Vanilla Visual Style
  Everything looks like it belongs. Styled to match the base game’s resolution and design aesthetic.

💡 Why It’s Different

This isn’t a reskin that gives you OP weapons in five minutes.
It’s a mid-game progression upgrade with meaningful effort behind it.
It doesn’t just add items — it adds systems.

Crafting one takes time.
Mastering it is rewarding.
And landing a charged headshot? Incredibly satisfying.

📦 Installation

Drop the datapack and resource pack into your world’s folders like any standard pack. No mod loaders. No launch arguments.

Plug. And. Play.
