Description

Better Crossbows adds four new types of crossbows: copper, gold, diamond, and netherite. Each has its own characteristics. The copper one is simple but reliable, perfect if you haven’t found iron yet. The gold crossbow stands out for its fast reload speed, ideal for players who prefer agility, though it sacrifices some power and durability.

If you’re looking for something stronger, the diamond crossbow offers increased damage, faster reloading, and much greater durability. And once you’ve advanced further in your world, the netherite crossbow becomes the ultimate upgrade, improving every aspect.
