If you're a modpack developer wanting to add Crossbow to a modpack distributed outside of CurseForge or Modrinth, use (https://modrinth.com/mod/filedirector) to avoid reuploading Crossbow's files.

This mod backports crossbows from the Village and Pillage update, including enchantments and animations!

Crossbow is designed to serve as a library for anyone wanting to add custom crossbows, or wanting to add entities that use crossbows! To add a custom crossbow item, have your item class extend `ItemCrossbow` or implement `ICrossbow`.

This mod also makes some small changes to fireworks: - Fireworks credit damage (caused by the explosion) to their user, the same way other projectiles credit damage to their user. - Fireworks dispensed from a dispenser now travel in the direction they were fired. This is an opt-in config setting, and is backported from (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_19w36a). - Fireworks explode immediately when impacting a block or entity. This change comes with a new event: `FireworkImpactEvent`, which is fired when a firework entity impacts something.
