About Moar Bows

From SpigotMC

Add 25+ unique bows to your server!


MoarBows is a nice plug&play addon for your server, adding 28 unique types of bows each with special abilities. The plugin's release date alone will give your server a true old school vibe, and remind your admins of the time where the only way to change an item texture was through the durability bar.

Latest Build is for 1.14+
Latest Build for 1.13: 2.5.6

  • Unique Abilities
    • Bows can apply their abilities both when hitting entities and when landing on the ground.
    • Bows all have cooldowns to prevent spam.
  • All these bows work when equipped on monsters like skeletons, which means you can have custom mobs during special fighting events with new marksman abilities!
  • Cool Particle & Sound effects
    • Each bow has its own particle and sound effects when it fires arrows. Bows also emit particles when held in both main & off hand. You can hold two bows at the same time to display their particles.

  • Highly Configurable
    • Each bow can be fully configurated: name, lore, damage, cooldown, color, particle effect, crafting recipe, and additional modifiers (damage, effect duration...) depending on the bows.
    • Every message can be translated in the messages.yml config file.
    • You can use the "mb-bows" WorldGuard flag to disable custom bows in a specific region.
  • Easy to use
    • Easily manipulate commands with the tab completion system (press tab when typing /mb).
    • Bows can't be renamed/enchanted to prevent abuse, unless you have the permission to.
    • API to manipulate existing bows &amp; to register new ones (see wiki for a detailed gui).
  • Bow Levels
    • Bows given to players may have different levels like item enchantments. The bow statistics like damage, cooldown, effect duration.. scale based on the bow level. The higher the level, the more powerful the bow!
