This mod adds Atlatls, which are ranged weapons that let you spam arrows like how you used to in Beta 1.7.

An atlatl is an ancient piece of equipment which was used to launch darts, arrows and small spears by hand.

Crafting:

Atlatls (Machine Gun Bow) Minecraft Mod

Usage and Mechanics:

-Right click to shoot arrows.

Atlatls (Machine Gun Bow) Minecraft Mod

-The atlatl uses the attack cooldown meter of the player like melee weapons do. This means that using it in your offhand might have some weird side effects (that will get fixed eventually)

-Depending on how full the attack meter is, it determines the accuracy and distance travelled by your arrows. This means spamming it lets you shoot a lot of arrows at the cost of range and accuracy.

-Using the atlatl drains hunger.

-Sprinting will cause the user to shoot a crit arrow, but drains a lot of hunger and as well as reseting your sprint.

-Do note that the damage of the atlatl, is a lot lower than both bows and crossbows to accomodate for the fact that it is spammable and does not slow you down.

Enchanting:

-Atlatls can receive both bow and crossbow enchantments.

v1.1.0 : by N0t_UN_Owen 12/12/2025 9:14:27 pmDecember 13, 2025 @ 2:14 am UTC

-Added two advancements related to the atlatl.


-Added sounds to the atlatl.


-Fixed quick charge not working on atlatls, now they increase the minimum distance and accuracy of shot arrows.


-Attack speed of atlatls are now separate from the item in your mainhand. They still share the same attack cooldown visually but they no longer do functionally.

altho, you say it takes crossbow enchants, but i dont think quick charge or multishot would pair in very well
