- 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. <button type="button" class="button bbCodeSpoilerButton ToggleTrigger Tooltip JsOnly" title="Click to reveal or hide spoiler" data-target="> .SpoilerTarget">Spoiler: Screenshot</button>

- 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 & 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!
