If the draconic bow is charging (ie. wireless charger) while you are trying to use it, your character seem to be able to hold it (the bow does not appear on screen). And when trying to fire, it rapidly appears and disappears from view and does not fire.

It may flash into and out of view while charging as well. But it mostly unusable until charged, or charging stops.

The bow will fire if quickly clicked, but cannot be drawn back.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

Ah jeez, stalebot here too hu?

Yes, because it's an old issue that needs to be closed down since there hasn't been any replies for literal years.

If the problem is resolved or just doesn't exist any more then it should definitely be closed!

Though I fail to see how the age of an issue can be the sole function of it's validity, as you are implying.

Sole? No. But the fact that it's lasted for 2 years without anyone saying anything about the issue confirming it or denying it certainly speaks to how irrelevant it is now.

Issues like this are marked as stale usually due to an issue that was likely fixed by a Forge update, fixed by a DE update and never marked as fixed, it being a mod incompatiblity issue that was silently solved on the other side, or it being such an uncommon issue that most players can't even replicate it due to either how the bug works (like a race condition) or how hard it is to trigger the bug.

Is this still an issue? I just tested with the latest version of DE and firing the bow while charging works... almost fine. The animation is broken but the bow fires just fine.

i can't say ...
I realy think this is not a DE fault ...
Like i say, it seem the bow is not charged, but replaced by a copy of it with more rf because i have this issue with other mod too ...

Unable to repeat issue with same mod version.

I have same issue, but not only on the bow ... every tools that have RF.
so, I think is not DE fault...

In fact it seem the bow is not charged, but replaced by a copy of it with more rf in ...

My first thought is EnderIO ... but really need testing!

Yeah, I'm getting this for every tool that uses RF as well now that you mentioned it. Though the bow was more apparent as it couldn't be fully drawn.

I'm not quite sure of how to test this to figure out why.

My best guess would be the fact the item changes when it's charge level changes. i haven't checked the code yet but i'm assuming that @brandon3055 uses the MinecraftDurability as a display.
