I saw someone else having this problem in the issues page, closed because it got tagged with a won´t fix in another mod´s github saying it must be an incompatibility

I decided to remove the rest of the mods in my modpack to test it myself, as a result the inconsistencies still happen, only having two mods

some times there is no damage at all, but there is knockback and damage flashing

mods: one that indicates damage inflicted and a datapack displaying the mobs health

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/damage-indicator-mod

maybe it´s not about incompatibility (or intentional??) but i dunno, im not a coder

Have to look into this, which mod version?

Minecraft 1.19.2
fabric 0.14.19
TieredZ 1.2.6

oh, well I get 20 dmg crits with non tiered bows even with no armor equiped, that´s what got me confused in the first place
Is that intented?

Should be fixed with 55c2830

I ran a quick test and it seems that the non damaging shot is gone, but the 20 damage to bows with no current tier is still there, I don't have time to test this at the moment but i'll check it out later

yeah, the 0 damage thing is gone, but the normal bows still reach 19 damage (without enchantments)

If the player has crit chance that might be possible yea :)

oooh that's a thing??? my bad lol
how does it work tho?

If you have positive range crit chance, you might do more damage vice versa.

do players get a default crit chance without armors?

armor should not give crit chance at all but the bow for example can give crit chance

wait, so crits can still happen regardless of the crit chance stat? I thought non tiered bows had no crits at all, i mean, that´s what I understood lol
is there a way to tweak crit chances and critical damage?

btw sorry if Im being too insistent lol

If bows have no tier, armor can give crit chance too
Without crit chance, it doesn't affect the vanilla mechanic

No this is not intended

Just cheking in, is there going to be a fix for this version?

Can confirm that this mod alone makes standard bows (bows pulled from the creative inventory without any tier) more OP

Non-tiered bow damage without mod installed: 8-10
Non-tiered bow damage with mod installed: 12-19

I suspect the issue lies here, you're modifying the damage the bow outputs to be the regular damage plus what crit damage would be
https://github.com/Globox1997/tiered/blob/1.20/src/main/java/draylar/tiered/mixin/BowItemMixin.java

persistentProjectileEntity.setDamage(
                persistentProjectileEntity.getDamage() + AttributeHelper.getExtraCritDamage((PlayerEntity) persistentProjectileEntity.getOwner(), (float) persistentProjectileEntity.getDamage()));
    }

the getExtraCritDamage already returns oldDamage, so by adding it TO persistentProjectileEntity.getDamage() you're effectively doubling your damage for bows
I compiled a version without persistentProjectileEntity.getDamage() and it seems to work better

Thank you @snoandpetals
fixed with da0d2b7
