Transformation Arrows / Pedestal
Transformation Arrows are improved version from the source arrow.
To transformate Arrows you need an Multi-Block-Structure with an Pedestal.
Pedestal:
Multi-Block-Structure:
Step 1 (4x Pillar Quartz Block, 9x Block of Quartz, 12x Quartz-Stairs)
Step 2 (4x Pillar Quartz Block, 1x Obsidian)
Step 3 (4x Pillar Quartz Block, 1x Pedestal)
Step 4 (4x Magma Block)
Rightclick with an Arrow, you will transformate, on the Pedestal to start the Transformation. Pro Arrow will need 5 sec.(100 Ticks). This can be set in Config-Data.
Start-Prozess:
Finish Prozess:
When it finish you can get back the transformate Arrows by rightclick on the Pedestal.
List of transformable Arrows:
- Thunder-Arrow to Thunderstorm-Arrow

i may use this mod for a modpack i'm working on but i hear that it does not work with mowsies mobs so i cannot use it cause mowsie's mobs is a big part of this modpack so tell me if i can use it once the bug is fixed
There is a bug in the Switchbow mod that causes it to crash the game when used with Mowzies Mobs.
https://pastebin.com/aNk6wfdJ
In reply to plantblockland:
has this bug been fixed
In reply to tool_can:
Yes, the bug was found to be caused by Mowzies Mobs actually. 1.5.6 of Mowzies Mobs fixes the crash.
I have several suggestions for new types of arrows that could be visually interesting. Not arrows with special effects and properties (like most of existent arrows of this great and wonderful mod), but arrows with special movement and physics, like rocket arrows.
My suggestion for these special physics arrows are these:
- Antigravity (or antimass) arrows:
Arrows that fall up (to the sky) instead of down.
- Rectilinear arrows:
Arrows not altered by gravity. They move dozens of blocks in a straight line before disappearing in the air.
- Sinuidal arrows:
Arrows not altered by gravity. They move meandering (like a snake) or curved zig-zag several dozen blocks before disappearing in the air.
- Helicoidal arrows:
Arrows not altered by gravity. They move in helicoidal path, like spinning (a kind of spiral or helix), several dozen blocks before disappearing in the air.
- Guided arrows:
Arrows "with normal physics" (affected by gravity) that can change slightly their trajectory (curving or spinning), for reach mobs and enemies.
- Chaotic arrows or broken rocket arrows:
Dangerous arrows (dangerous also for the archer) that flies in chaotic paths and trajectories, like real life rocket arrows.
Can we get an “Enraged Arrow” where mobs that can attack will attack whoever is closest to them? when struct. If they are hit with the love arrow, then enrage will cause them to attack everyone who is an posing force to whoever shot the love arrow (so if a skeleton shot a love arrow and it hit a an enraged zombie, the zombie will stop hurting other monster factions, but will still hurt any other faction, like you, villagers, or even cows, due to the enraged status). Transform the arrow to AOE enraged arrow.
I think it’d be funny to see this be used on an untrained wolf, or an endermen. Actually, if you hit your dog with a rage arrow, i guess that would mean it’d attack you if you were the closest. xD now that’s a funny accident waiting to happen. Best way to lose your modded hardcore world.
I like your bow but is there a way to remove the enchantment glint? It is very distracting. Thanks!
Can Switch bow have infinity and mending? Hmmmmmmmmmmm
To either the OP or others who use it, what arrows are the best to take down the Enderdragon? I need to kill it so bad lmao.
love this mod. Update for 1.15.2 please? :)
In reply to nerve20:
I'm working on the Update
The writing in the descriptions of the items in for this mod looks like it was written by a kid. there are so many spelling errors like, "prozess" in place of the word process and "ones" in place of the word once.
Can you please add support for enchantment descriptions?
I can't find the Config-File at my serverconfig, where's located?
https://paste.dimdev.org/ifazididek.mccrash
had a wierd crash while using the natures compass mod to find a darklands biome (abyslecraft)
the crash report said it was coused by the switchbow mod so just thuoght i would report it :-/
In reply to finzofinzo:
I will check the problem
The infinity enchantment doesn't work with these new arrows in survival. Is that intentional?
is it possible that it could be updated to run on the latest version of forge please
do you have any plans to make this mod interact with the Curios mod? would love to have the quiver and big quiver work in a curio slot
Cool mod. The arrows are pretty fun! I'm not a fan of the textures though. They look really out of place in vanilla Minecraft, because some of them use resolutions greater than 16x16. I think your mod would look much better if you had stuck to 16x16. On the other hand, I'm a fan of the quiver, arrow cycling, the arrow dispenser and the arrow effects in general!
Your description's english is really broken and it is sometimes hard to understand without reading it several times. If you want me to correct your description, let me know!
