    Fun, yes, but I found the rate-of-fire and the damage (both per second and per shot ) inferior. (I also find Impaling less useful than Power.)

    Loyalty / Channeling (during a thunderstorm) is hard to beat for gleefully mindful death & destruction 😈

    One of the first things I did back when I started playing was to go into creative mode and practice archey (first static targets, then mobs).
    [​IRL I started shooting as a kid, but the arrow flight mechanics and the viewpoint are different enough to require practice with the MC version. ]

    Going for alliteration:

    Nether Nectar
    Piglin Punch

    both of which have the additional advantage that the alcoholic nature is not explicit (which may avoid whinging from MS/Mj about usage guidlines [blind, deaf and dumb though they are to the damage such bilge itself does])

    "…you use a lot of levels for a perfect bow and then it breaks after like 10 arrows and you only can use normal arrows."

    What mod version does this? [I've always found anvil combining to require repair of the bow to full durability. Also, while an infinity bow does decrement groups of tipped arrows, it doesn't prevent using them. (Not that I'm much of a tipped arrow user….)]

    Would you add a quiver instead of or in addition to the current body equipment slots [​armor/main hand/off hand]?

    if 'instaed of', which would you have the quiver replace?

    Or, do you have a different concept for the quiver?

    Two weeks is only about ~3.8% of a year – just a rounding error 😇 .


    Of the jams you wanted to enter (but did not), at which would you most like another chance?

    Still the out-of-box launcher (which I aggree is annoyingly slow — even when not connected to the net).

    Having heard some horror stories about the malware infestations on some of the alternates, I've developed a high theshhold of trust…. (And reliable reviews are difficult to find, buth as so many push [​relentlessly] for the bog-standard and because of teh hangover of gamergate. )
    [​One of those cases where I'm still using a (probably) inferior product because teh annoyance of switching outweighs (at any given moment) the annoyance of using it.]

    Mayhap some of the other replies will provide the desired guidance….

    Very much agree about the bows:
    with either Villager Trading OR a Player-kill Skeleton Spawner OR Treasure Fishing, getting the bows & bools to combine into a maxed-out bow isn't all that hard…
    …if one has two or three it's even simpler.

    I tend to have enough mob drop farms and developed skeleton spawners that resupply isn't too onerous, but just the one more thing_to_pay_attention_to is worth avoiding…

    I'm likely the wrong person to ask as I play vanilla+ mostly SSP (farm optimization and redstone builds being more than sufficient to maintain my interest).

    It's disheartening t othink that all th ecruft MS/Mj has added lately isn't of sufficient interest to maintain yours. [​Not unexpected, but disheartening nonetheless.]

    Without bothering to look, Pillager outpost probably has the largest bounding box and could encompass more than a single biome, bu is still so restrictive I can't see the hypothetical mod getting much use…

    Curious:
    How many arrows do you typically carry? [​in inventory, not end chest or shulkers]
    Aby tips for arrow management (knowing when your low)?

    One of my mob skins with some exposition on how I would like to add it as a mob may be found at:
    Ice Cube (1.22 Jam mob idea)

    Other entries from that jam (or mob skins you find browsing) may also serve as inspiration…

    Infinity, not because arrows are hard to get (even quite early), but because it's easier to watch the durability bar on an Infinity bow than keep track of arrows in inventory.

    I do have occsaional use for Mending bows: one simple example id to start the aggro chain in a gold farm:
      there is planety of Xp to be had (bow kills often do not allow easy recovery of the orbs),
      a Mending / Unbreaking 3 / Power _0_ bow removes the chance of single shotting the target ,
      arrows stack to 64 (while eggs and snowballs stack to 16) which decreases the number of atacks of ammo one must transport

    The same reasoning applies to Ghast tear farms as one can attract and remove zombie pigmen with the Mending Bow but use a normal hunting bow on the Ghasts (usually single shot).
