Please add bow damage configuration to the .json file, so we can nerf these bows. They can two shot an iron golem, when enchanted with power V.

I'll take a look at doing this.

Updated in Emerald Tools and MoreGems

That was fast. I'm impressed! Thank you!

Hello. Per this github, there should be bow damage configurations available in the .json5, however there are no signs of that in the file. There are zoom configs, but no configs regarding damage output from the bows.
The vanilla bow does up to 11 damage, and the custom bows do up to 23, and I really would like to nerf it.

Ohh, that makes sense...

I mean, I won't ask you to do what you don't want to do, but. It is what it is, I suppose.
I guess I'll be on 1.19 eventually, when Mojang stops updating 1.19.1.

Thanks for the prompt response.

EmeraldTools-Fabric-1.18.2-1.3.46 is the one I've tested.
I did not regen my config. I'm going to try that now.

Ahh. I added those to 1.19, which is current supported version. I generally do not back port new features.

Wow, you're awesome!

I use a mod called MmmMmmMmmMmm. It's a dummy that outputs the raw damage you hit it with. Very useful.

I'm in the process of adding the freatures to 1.18.2 now.

How are you memasuring the damage from bows?

Yes, I just found that. It is proving useful to confirm actual damage by bows. The new default settings in the config will be close to vanilla with the ability to tweak higher if desired.

Look for v47 on curse forge shortly....

Let me know how your results come out

Excellent. I will test in about an hour and provide feedback here!

Not sure if you are a member of my discord, but I post a note for more info:

Hi all.

I'm introducing new options for gem bows in Emerald Tools

Background things of note:

• the damage of an un-enchanted bow is computed by the game using "velocity", with velocity being a product of pitch, yaw, roll, speed, and divergence. Sin, cos, and atan are involved, so it is complicated. Speed has the strongest influence on damage
• vanilla hard codes speed =3 and divergence = pull progress value * 3. The closer the divergence value gets to 0, the more accurate the shot will be

Get that, I have added new config options for tweaking:

• speed - 3.0 is vanilla default, increasing this value will increase damage. 6.0 is pretty OP for reference
• divergence - default is 0.0 because I like that. move it higher to be less accurate (values up .75 or so)
• roll - not really used by players, more for my testing
• power damage bonus - 0.5 is close to the vanilla default, 0.75 pretty much doubles Power V on a vanilla bow
• extra damage - just plain old brute force extra damage, default at 0, if set to 5 it will and 5 damage on top of everything else

Let me know how it works out for you. I plan to add these options to Gobber and MoreGems in the near future, with different default values though

I gotcha. So, increasing speed (therefore reducing drop) isn't possible without directly affecting damage output.

I'm still doing some testing, but the options themselves appear to be working just fine. Will the mod accept a negative value?

Also, fwiw, there's a model issue with pulling_0 and the other pulling states. It appears to be shifted down a bit during pulling_0, but bumps higher for pulling_1-3.

Yes, the mod will accept negative values.

	"projectilePowerDamageBonus": 0.5,
	"projectileExtraDamage": -1.0,

17-25 Vanilla bow, P5
20-28 Gem bow, P5

So, by setting speed up to 5, which is a lovely feeling compared to the vanilla bows that drop so aggressively, and giving it a negative offset for extra damage, I can essentially curate a perfect balance between the two.

wonderful, glad that works for you.

You don't want/need a new github for the texture adjustments, right?

Also, I very much appreciate you updating this version with this amazing new code.

honestly, I'm not sure what you mean. the textures are my weak point.

With the gem bows, it shifts upwards very slightly when it passes from the first stage of pulling to the second stage. You can observe that in the vanilla bow, the pulling is very smooth.
