About this project
What does Quick Crossbow add?
The Quick Crossbow mod allows you to instantly fire a loaded crossbow with a single keypress (K) and switch right back to your previous weapon. When triggered, it automatically detects a loaded crossbow in your hotbar, switches to it, applies a brief configurable pre-shoot delay (e.g., 50ms) to safely checks, fires the shot, and then waits for a short return delay (e.g., 100ms) before returning your hand to your original weapon.
