Mod Ranged Weapon API

Ranged Weapon API, custom bows and crossbows made simple

Ranged Weapon API is a Minecraft Java Edition library mod for developers who want to add fully functional bows and crossbows without rebuilding vanilla ranged weapon systems. It supports Fabric and NeoForge on client and server, making it useful for modded Minecraft server projects and adventure focused modpacks.

Creators can define damage, draw time, and projectile velocity, while benefiting from automatic model predicate registration, accurate first and third person rendering, and matching pull FOV. Tooltips, ranged damage and draw speed attributes, status effects, and compatible mob AI add depth to custom weapons. At BoxToPlay, we recommend it as a practical foundation for polished combat expansions.
