More Bows: Restrung is a port / continuation of the More Bows mod, which was originally created by GaussFire, and maintained & updated by iDiamondhunter until Risugami's ModLoader was no longer updated. This port aims to faithfully re-create the original mod, while fixing some bugs, introducing some quality-of-life changes, and adding cut ideas.
This branch of More Bows: Restrung targets Forge for Minecraft 1.7.10!
- Reinforced Bow
: This bow is just like the regular wooden bow, but has more durability. - Iron Bow
: This bow is a step up from the reinforced bow, having slightly more damage and durability, along with a minuscule upgrade of draw speed. - Golden Bow
: The bow forged of gold: it has a pathetic amount of uses but overall does the most damage. Quick reflexes allow you to shoot at double the speed! - Crystal Bow
: A bow sealed with the power of diamond, not many can survive it's swift and damaging moves. With a diamond base, you don't need to worry about over-pulling, this bow also doubles your draw speed! - Blazing Bow
: A bow from the horrible pits of the Nether, the power of fire emanates from the weapon in your hand. With this bow, you can do double the damage of a normal bow, while setting your foes alight! - Ender Bow
: A mysterious bow with the secrets of the Ender within. Along with having a slow drawback, it will use the Ender's technique to shoot a regular arrow that will not damage anything but, after 3 seconds, will summon 5 more arrows to kill it's opponents. - Legia Bow
: The final and most overwhelming bow, it delivers fast and many blows to its enemies. Even with two arrows, your draw speed will be faster than the iron bow! - Frost Bow
: Bonus bow for Christmas! Present for everyone who was supporting iDiamondhunter with the mod! This bow makes entities go slowly but its draw speed is awful. It also creates a snow layer on impact, and freezes water!
Descriptions taken from iDiamondhunter's page for the mod.
The Gradle build script resolves dependancies automatically, but it relies on having both a Java 7 compatible JDK installed (which Gradle builds the mod with) and a Java 8 compatible JDK (or higher) installed (which Gradle itself runs on). This can be worked around by changing the Gradle build script to build the mod with a JDK that's compatible with one installed on the computer building this mod, although this could potentially result in slight differences or incompatibilities with truely ancient versions of Java. Note that ProGuard is used to output bytecode compatible with Java 5, so this might be a moot point.
As iDiamondhunter "removed the copyrights" from this mod, I presume that this mod is free of any known copyright, and that it is in the public domain. Therefore, I will be keeping it licensed as such.
