Advanced Bow Enchantments

Advanced Bow Enchantments is a mod for forge 1.20.1 aimed at helping to bring up ranged builds in modpack environments, which typically fall far behind melee or mage builds.

To brige that gap, Advanced Bow Enchancements introduces 5 new enchantments:

• Enhanced Power
• Fast Draw
• Enhanced Fast Draw
• Machine Draw
• Reality Fracture
  
  

This mod also adds in a progression system for obtaining the enhanced versions

Three of the enchantments, Machine Draw, Fast Draw, and Reality Fracture are obtainable through vanilla methods (Villagers, enchanting table, etc.)

On the other hand, the enhanced versions are not that easy. In order to balance the power these enchantments can provide, a progression system has been created through the anvil.

First Slot - Bow with Enchantment you want to upgrade, starting at Power V and Fast Draw V

Second Slot - the Catalyst and Experience Levels

Each Enchantment path has their own catalyst and required Experience Levels for upgrading to each successive tier

An upgrade to the Power Enchantment

• Enhanced Power I - 200% Arrow Damage
• Enhanced Power II - 225% Arrow Damage
• Enhanced Power III - 250% Arrow Damage
• Enhanced Power IV - 275% Arrow Damage
• Enhanced Power V - 300% Arrow Damage

Reduces the time needed to draw the bow to full, helping you shoot fully charged arrows faster

• Fast Draw I - 5% Draw Speed
• Fast Draw II - 10% Draw Speed
• Fast Draw III - 15% Draw Speed
• Fast Draw IV - 20% Draw Speed
• Fast Draw V - 25% Draw Speed

An Enhanced variant of Fast Draw

• Enhanced Fast Draw I - 30% Draw Speed
• Enhanced Fast Draw II - 35% Draw Speed
• Enhanced Fast Draw III - 40% Draw Speed
• Enhanced Fast Draw IV - 45% Draw Speed
• Enhanced Fast Draw V - 50% Draw Speed

With this enchantment, holding right click with your bow will automatically fire arrows at full charge when its reached, aiming to fix a significant drawback of ranged users, consistent DPS. This is compatible with enchantments, varying items, and different modded attributes that impact draw speed.

Machine Draw has a second benefit - while firing, you will not be slowed or forced into a zoom state after the first initial draw. This allows the player to manuever freely, dodge, etc while firing.

*NOTE: You must continously hold right click to continue firing

The mod uses Forge common config values in:

/config/advancedbowenchants-common.toml

These options are grouped into two main areas:

• progression: Controls the catalyst item, catalyst count, and anvil XP level cost for each Enhanced upgrade step.
• tuning: Controls runtime scaling values for Enhanced Power, Fast Draw, and Enhanced Fast Draw.

Enhanced Power chain:

• Power V -> Enhanced Power I: minecraft:netherite_ingot, count = 1, xp_levels = 30
• Enhanced Power I -> II: minecraft:echo_shard, count = 1, xp_levels = 35
• Enhanced Power II -> III: minecraft:conduit, count = 1, xp_levels = 40
• Enhanced Power III -> IV: minecraft:dragon_breath, count = 1, xp_levels = 45
• Enhanced Power IV -> V: minecraft:dragon_head, count = 1, xp_levels = 50

Enhanced Fast Draw chain:

• Fast Draw V -> Enhanced Fast Draw I: minecraft:ghast_tear, count = 1, xp_levels = 20
• Enhanced Fast Draw I -> II: minecraft:wither_skeleton_skull, count = 1, xp_levels = 25
• Enhanced Fast Draw II -> III: minecraft:totem_of_undying, count = 1, xp_levels = 30
• Enhanced Fast Draw III -> IV: minecraft:shulker_shell, count = 1, xp_levels = 35
• Enhanced Fast Draw IV -> V: minecraft:nether_star, count = 1, xp_levels = 40

These values let you rebalance enchantment multipliers and per level steps:

• tuning.enhanced_power.base_multiplier: Base projectile multiplier at Enhanced Power I.
• tuning.enhanced_power.multiplier_per_level_step: Additional multiplier per Enhanced Power level above I.
• tuning.fast_draw.bonus_per_level: Draw speed bonus per Fast Draw level.
• tuning.enhanced_fast_draw.base_bonus: Base draw speed bonus at Enhanced Fast Draw I.
• tuning.enhanced_fast_draw.bonus_per_level_step: Additional draw speed bonus per Enhanced Fast Draw level above I.
