1. I don't know whether the stats of enderite bow and crossbow have been modified before, but could you please buff damage of these two weapons, or increase the default projectile velocity when firing with enderite bow and crossbow? As for sacrifice, drawing an enderite bow to full charge or reloading enderite crossbow need more time. Overall, these two modification should make two weapons have a higher DPS than before.

2. The biggest disadvantage of crossbow is that reloading needs a lot of time, and you cannot disrupt reloading process before it fully charges. Besides, you cannot reload fireworks except you put fireworks in your side hand. Therefore, I suggest that a self-reloaded repeating crossbow be added into the mod, which needs enderite crossbow and iron magazine (a new item crafted by iron ingots, you can modify the recipe as you like) to be crafted.

When firing with this repeating crossbow, the crossbow automatically reloads "bullets" from its magazine, thus you can swap to another weapon in the hotbar slot without disrupting reloading. However, the reloading repeating crossbow cannot fire immediately, and total reloading time is moderately shorter than that of crossbow, which can be further reduced by quick charge enchantment. (In fact, the repeating crossbow can be enchanted like vanilla crossbows.)

In order to use repeating crossbow, you have to: (a) left click the "bullets" you want to use in the inventory, and then right click the repeating crossbow with the "bullets" to fill it, or (b) use reloading "R" key to swap with a full iron magazine. The magazine can be also filled like method (a).

The iron magazine can hold 8 rounds (arrows, tip arrows, fireworks), but must the same kind of items, and the holding round number can be modified via config files.

The model can be reworked based on Cobra System RX Adder (https://www.ek-archery.com/product/1/118), which can be modified to fit into vanilla theme.

Dear chemlzh,

Thank you for your detailed suggestions regarding the enderite bow and crossbow in our mod. We appreciate your enthusiasm and creative ideas for enhancing the weapons features.

While we value community input, our mod aims to maintain a vanilla+ experience, staying true to the core vision of the game without introducing overpowered elements. Your proposed modifications, such as increasing damage and introducing a self-reloaded repeating crossbow, go beyond our intended balance for the enderite tier.

We want to keep the rarity and difficulty of obtaining enderite items as part of the challenge for players. As such, we won't be implementing changes that significantly alter the balance of these weapons. We hope you understand our commitment to preserving the vanilla feel of the game.

Thank you for being part of our community and for your ongoing support of our mod.

Best regards,

Your Enderite Development Team
