Crimson One Shot

Quickstart

1. Gather Redstone, a Nether Star, Gunpowder, and a Blaze Rod.
2. Craft the Crimson One Shot at a Crafting Table (recipe below).
3. Hold it in your hand, aim at any mob, and use (right-click / tap the use button) to fire.
4. Watch the mob drop in a single shot — a lightning bolt strikes to mark the kill.

Overview

The Crimson One Shot is a powerful, epic-rarity weapon that fires an invisible projectile capable of instantly killing any non-player mob it hits. It functions like a firearm: you aim, you fire, and the target dies. No follow-up hits needed, no matter how much health the mob has.

What It Adds

The item appears in the Equipment tab of the creative inventory and has an enchantment glint by default.

How To Use

• Fire: Hold the Crimson One Shot and press the Use button (right-click on Java-style controllers, or the on-screen Use button on touch) to shoot a projectile in the direction you are looking.
• Cooldown: After each shot, a 1-second reload period applies. Your action bar will display a countdown if you try to fire too soon.
• Hit feedback: On a successful fire, your action bar shows CRIMSON ONE SHOT — FIRED! A gunshot sound plays nearby, and a lightning bolt strikes any mob that is hit.
• Does not harm players: The instant-kill effect applies only to mobs. Other players are unaffected by the projectile.

Abilities And Mechanics

• One-shot kill: Any mob struck by the projectile is killed instantly, regardless of its maximum health.
• Lightning strike: A lightning bolt spawns at the target's location upon a kill, adding a dramatic visual effect.
• Durability loss: Each shot consumes exactly 1 durability. The weapon lasts for 250 shots before breaking.
• Repair: The Crimson One Shot can be repaired using Netherite Ingots at an Anvil. Each ingot restores 125 durability (half the maximum), so two ingots restore a fully depleted weapon.
• Enchantable: Accepts sword-type enchantments at an Enchanting Table or Anvil.
• Slowdown while firing: Movement speed is reduced while the use animation plays, similar to drawing a crossbow.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the Crimson One Shot at a Crafting Table using the recipe shown below. The recipe unlocks automatically once you have Redstone, a Nether Star, Gunpowder, or a Blaze Rod in your inventory.

Progression And Strategy

• Mid-to-late game power: The Nether Star ingredient means you must defeat the Wither before crafting the Crimson One Shot, placing it firmly in late-game territory.
• Boss and elite mob hunting: With 250 shots per weapon and the ability to one-shot anything, it excels against bosses, Wardens, or any high-health mob you would otherwise struggle to defeat.
• Bring Netherite Ingots: Stock up on Netherite Ingots for repairs if you plan extended combat sessions. Two ingots fully restore a depleted weapon.
• Cooldown management: The 1-second reload means you cannot spam shots. Line up each shot carefully, especially during fast-moving encounters.
• Enchanting: Adding Unbreaking via an Anvil or Enchanting Table significantly extends the weapon's lifespan between repairs.
