## About Improved Combat adds a new **Hurl** enchantment that can be applied to axes and allows them to be thrown. The mod also reworks vanilla enchantments related to combat, making them less strict. The following enchantments can now be applied to an axe: * (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Fire_Aspect) * (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Knockback) * (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Looting) * (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Loyalty) The following enchantments can now be applied to bows: * (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Multishot) * (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Piercing) * (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Quick_Charge) And the following enchantments can now be applied to crossbows: * (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Flame) * (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Infinity) * (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Power) * (https://minecraft.wiki/w/Punch) Essentially, the same enchantments that can be applied to a bow now also work for crossbows, and vice versa. Other changes include Mending and Infinity now being compatible enchantments on bows/crossbows. ## Future Plans * Improve Thrown Axe model rendering. * Possibly new features for crossbows to make them more worthwhile. ## Showcase <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/D_mFUX5eImA?si=aXYQThemqu5nHCHc" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
