Essence Bows/Crossbows deal the same amount of damage as their normal counterparts.

Describe the bug
The title is pretty self explanatory, that essence bows/crossbows don't deal extra damage. It seems that the draw speed is shorter.

Expected behavior
The expected behavior is that they should deal more damage than their normal counterparts.

Versions (please complete the following information):

  • Minecraft: 1.19.2
  • Forge: 43.2.14
  • Cucumber: 6.0.10
  • Mystical Agriculture: 6.0.12

Test on pigs with 500 HP (A. Supremium - Awakened Supremium)
image
The A. Supremium Crossbow performed worse than the vanilla variant by 2 HP, and the bow performed better than the vanilla one by 2 HP

The experiment was done again, and the crossbow was better, and the bows are equal.
The result will be approximated, as another test was done with the crossbows, and they changed again.

So the amount of damage a bow does is decided by the arrow being shot, not the bow itself. The benefit of essence bows was meant to be the quicker draw speed.

I may look into making the bows add additional power but I'm not 100% sure if I will.
