Switch Bow Mod is designed to improve the default bow of Minecraft. The drawback of the default bow is that it cannot switch between different types of bow, causing inconvenience for players. Moreover, it even cannot automatically look for additional arrows to use, even though they are inside your inventory. This limitation requires a new bow which has superior functions than the original one. The Switch Bow Mod will provide you with a bow you need to truly maximize your archery potential.
The mod adds an improved bow called Switch Bow, as well as a series of multifunction arrows that can produce over 15 different effects. There are a thunder-arrow which can generate a lightning bolt when striking enemy or block, a TNT arrow which can generate an explosion on impact, a frost arrow which causes snow when hitting a block and freezes your attacker making them unable to move an inch, a reinforced arrow that does 2.5 times more damage than a normal arrow, and a bunch of other useful arrows you can use. Crafting the Switch Bow is slightly expensive because it needs an ender eye, but the bow is definitely worth it, since you will become invincible once you obtain the bow.
To store your arrows conveniently, you will need craft a quiver. It can contain up to 9 stacks of any arrows, and arrows from the inventory are automatically sorted into the quiver by sneaky and right-clicking
