Too Many Bows

This page documents the 38 bows currently registered in Too Many Bows for Minecraft 26.1.2, including their abilities, firing requirements, accessories, repair material, loot configuration, and compact per-bow configs.

Bow Abilities & Requirements

Special Firing Resources

Creative-mode players bypass these resource costs.

Attributes

Too Many Bows registers custom attributes that allow equipment and addon content to modify bow performance.

Trinkets and Curios

Fabric uses Trinkets Continued and NeoForge uses Curios.

The five attribute accessories are included in the default loot configuration. The Soul Lantern and Cursed Lantern are registered equippable items, but they are not included in the default loot-item lists in this source build.

Configuration Layout

All configuration files are generated on first use.

There is one compact config for each of the 38 bows. Most filenames match their item ID. Notable filename differences include:

• necro_flame.json
• ironclad.json
• radiant.json
• sentinel_wrath.json
• soulhoard_bow.json

Compact bow configs

The 26.1.2 configs intentionally expose gameplay-management settings rather than every technical implementation detail. Depending on the bow, configurable values may include:

• Base or direct-hit damage
• Projectile count, spread, velocity, or ricochet count
• Ability radius, target count, duration, and strength
• Status-effect duration and amplifier
• Healing, lifesteal, soul storage, chains, portals, or follow-up damage

Particle internals, sound pitch, entity lifetime, rendering details, and similar implementation settings remain internal.

Existing oversized bow files are rewritten into the current compact schema when loaded. Make a manual backup before first launch if old expert-level values matter to you. The mod does not currently create timestamped migration backups automatically.

Example: aethers_call.json

{
  "base_damage": 6.0,
  "burst_radius": 4.0,
  "owner_slow_falling_duration_ticks": 100,
  "target_levitation_duration_ticks": 40,
  "target_levitation_amplifier": 0
}

Loot and Global Config

The main config is:

config/too_many_bows.json

It preserves the original Easy, Medium, Hard, and Endgame loot tiers. Each tier has:

• An enabled switch
• A drop chance
• A list of loot-table IDs
• A list of eligible item IDs

Default chest sources

Drop chances are clamped to the 0.0–1.0 range when the loot config is loaded.

Accessories Config

The accessory config is:

config/too_many_bows/bows/all_accessories.json

The Fletchers Talisman uses its built-in durability-saving behavior and has no numeric config entry.

Reload Commands

These commands require game-master/operator permission.

A game restart is not required after running the relevant reload command.

Power Crystal Repair

The Power Crystal repairs Too Many Bows weapons.

1. Open an anvil.
2. Place the damaged bow in the first slot.
3. Place a Power Crystal in the second slot.
4. Take the repaired bow from the output slot.

Special Items

Notes

• Demon’s Grasp still intentionally has a minimal, lore-style tooltip and no signature ability.
• Bow behavior and balance values may differ when server owners edit the generated configs.
• Fabric requires Trinkets Continued; NeoForge requires Curios.
