About this project

What does HyAmmo add?

HyAmmo is a full archery expansion that turns arrows into real tactical loadout choices, not just basic ammo.

Instead of firing one generic projectile, you can switch between distinct arrow types with unique combat roles, visuals, and on-hit behavior. HyAmmo is built to keep combat fast and readable while adding meaningful decision-making in every fight.

Core Features

  • **Multiple arrow families with distinct identities**
  • Precision, burst, sustain, control, armor pressure, and utility options.
  • **In-game arrow selection UI**
  • Use /hyarrow, or hold a bow and press **R** to open the selector.
  • **Bow + Crossbow support**
  • All HyAmmo arrow types now work across bow and crossbow workflows.
  • **Capability-based weapon detection**
  • Designed to support future modded projectile weapons without hardcoded item IDs.
  • **Special arrow effects**
  • Includes effects like ricochet, explosive impact behavior, lifesteal, snare/root, breakbane debuff, trueshot armor pressure, and more.
  • **Ability/signature compatibility**
  • Custom arrow behavior is applied more consistently across advanced projectile interactions.
  • **Arrow recovery**
  • Recover missed arrows in live gameplay (configurable behavior).
  • **Arrow Workbench + crafting flow**
  • Dedicated archery crafting support with specialized arrow progression.
  • **Loot integration + progression balance**
  • Arrow drops integrated into loot systems with progressive tier weighting.
  • Non-hostile/passive creatures are excluded from hostile arrow-drop logic.
  • **Compatibility layer for mixed mod stacks**
  • Defensive handling for unknown projectiles / missing metadata so HyAmmo layers safely instead of hard-overriding.
  • **Stability hardening**
  • Improved projectile classification, safer fallbacks, and server-update compatibility fixes.

For Server Owners

HyAmmo includes balancing controls for progression and combat tuning, including:

  • Progressive NPC drop toggles and thresholds
