Netherblast Bow

Quickstart

Craft the bow and its custom ammunition at a crafting table:

Netherblast Bow

Netherblast Bow Ammo (16)

In Survival, equip the bow and carry Netherblast Bow Ammo in your inventory. Hold Use/Interact to draw, then release to fire. The shot explodes when it hits an entity or a block. Try it in an open area first: the blast can heavily reshape terrain. In Creative, look for the bow and ammo in the Equipment category.

Overview

The Netherblast Bow fires explosive shots with a powerful impact blast. You can also configure extra effects for your shots using a menu opened from the bow.

What It Adds

• Netherblast Bow: A bow with limited durability (36 points) and a brief cooldown between shots.
• Netherblast Bow Ammo: The custom ammunition used by the bow; each craft makes 16.
• Acid: A damaging block that can appear when the Toxicity effect is enabled.

How To Use

• Hold the bow and use it while not sneaking to draw and fire. Carry the custom ammo when playing in Survival.
• The projectile explodes on impact with either an entity or a block. Direct hits also deal impact damage and knockback.
• Keep your distance: the blast is extremely destructive. Its block damage follows the world’s mob-griefing setting; the base explosion does not start fires.
• To configure effects, sneak and use the bow. Adjust the sliders in the Netherblast Enchantments menu, then select Done. Sneak-use opens the menu instead of firing.

Abilities And Mechanics

Set any effect to level 0 to turn it off. The base impact explosion remains active regardless of these settings.

Progression And Strategy

There are no separate upgrade materials to gather for the extra effects: choose their levels in the bow’s menu. Start with a low setting while testing each effect, then combine the ones that suit your plans. Use Headshot cautiously near valuable builds, and remember that fire, Acid, and temporary magma cubes can create hazards after a shot.
