Crossbow Plus

Crossbow Plus is a client-side Fabric mod that turns vanilla crossbows into extremely fast, continuous-fire weapons.

Simply hold the use button while carrying a loaded crossbow to unleash arrows at an extremely high rate. There is no need to repeatedly click or wait for normal firing intervals.

Features

• Extremely fast continuous crossbow fire
• Fires repeatedly while the use button is held
• Supports crossbows in both the main hand and offhand
• Global enable/disable option
• Optional automatic arrow refilling from AxShulkers
• Configurable stack refill and per-shot refill modes
• In-game configuration through Mod Menu

Requirements

• Fabric Loader
• Java 21 for Minecraft 1.21.11
• Java 25 for Minecraft 26.1.x

Fabric API is not required.

Mod Menu is optional and is only needed to access the configuration screen.

Usage

1. Equip a loaded crossbow in either hand.
2. Hold the use button.
3. The crossbow will continuously fire arrows at an extremely high rate.
4. Keep arrows available in your inventory, or enable the optional AxShulkers integration.

Configuration

Install Mod Menu and open:

Mods → Crossbow Plus → Configure

Available options:

• Enable Rapid Fire — Enables or disables extremely fast continuous crossbow fire.
• Enable AxShulkers Arrow Refill — Automatically retrieves arrows from compatible shulker boxes.
• Per-Shot Refill — Retrieves one arrow for each shot instead of moving a full stack into the inventory.

Configuration is saved in:

config/crossbow_plus.json

Optional AxShulkers Integration

Crossbow Plus can retrieve arrows from shulker boxes managed by AxShulkers.

This feature requires:

• AxShulkers installed on the server
• Inventory shulker opening enabled in the AxShulkers configuration
• The axshulkers.use and axshulkers.modify permissions

AxShulkers support is optional and does not affect the core rapid-fire feature.

Server Compatibility

Crossbow Plus is client-side, but multiplayer servers may restrict rapid item use or reject unusually fast actions. Actual firing speed can therefore depend on latency and server-side rules.
