JxciWeapons - Ragehorn Bow

A short bow of black bone and golden mane, strung between two massive horns. Built to be drawn hard and to hit harder.

Ragehorn is the first weapon of the JxciWeapons series: single weapons, each one its own small mod, each one made from scratch with its own model, texture, animations and effects. No libraries, no config. Drop it in and play.

How it plays

Hold to draw, release to shoot. Ragehorn has four draw stages and the last one is the whole point of this bow. Hold it for about a second and the horn tips start to throw golden sparks, then a bolt of lightning flickers between them. Let go and the Storm shot flies almost flat, hits like a thunderclap and shoves your camera back. Snap shots still work, they are just a lot weaker.

You get a slight zoom while drawing, you walk slower with the string pulled, and if you release early the arrow goes back into your inventory instead of being wasted. The bow shoots its own black bone arrows. They craft cheap and stack to 120.

Fair warning: this is a strong bow. A full Storm shot hits harder than anything in vanilla, so treat it as late-game gear.
