bow
boostin
automates the bow boost movement technique. hold a bow, press a key, and the mod handles the jump timing, camera rotation, draw, and release for you.
requirements
installation
install fabric
grab the fabric installer from fabricmc.net and run it for minecraft 1.21.11.
add fabric api
download fabric api from modrinth and put the jar in your mods folder.
add bow boostin
put the bow boostin jar in the same mods folder.
launch
start minecraft with the fabric profile. ⚡ bow boostin ready! in the log means it worked.
how it works
when you press the boost key, this sequence runs:
checks
verifies you're on the ground, holding a bow (either hand), and have arrows. fails with a message if not.
sprint + jump
forces a sprint and triggers a jump. you don't need to be sprinting beforehand.
wait for apex
waits until upward velocity hits near zero - the top of the jump. 15 tick timeout if something goes wrong.
aim up
rotates your camera to the configured angle (default 78°). snap or smooth depending on your setting.
draw + release
holds the bow for your draw ticks then releases. arrow goes up, arcs back down, knockback sends you forward.
restore + cooldown
camera goes back to where it was. cooldown ticks out, then you can boost again.
keybind
rebind in controls, or use /bboost keybind <key> in-game. pass a plain key like r or mouse.left — no need for the full internal name.
commands
all client-side. no server perms needed. tab complete works on everything.
turns the mod on or off. when off, the boost key does nothing. faster than messing with keybinds.
toggle - one press, one boost, re-press for another.
hold - same for now, reserved for future use.
wait time between boosts. default 0. 20 ticks = 1 second. useful if you keep double-triggering.
how far up the camera rotates before firing. default 78°. affects horizontal distance - play around with it.
how long the bow is held before releasing. default 3 ticks (150ms). don't go too high - you want a weak shot that arcs back fast, not one that flies off into the distance.
snap - instant rotation, most reliable.
smooth - ease-out over 4 ticks, looks nicer but slightly slower.
change your key without opening settings. examples: r, g, mouse.left. the mod handles the full internal key name.
