Expanded Crossbow Enchanting Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to do anything special to start using this mod?
No setup required—once installed, you can immediately apply bow enchantments to crossbows using an enchanting table, anvil, or enchanted books, just like you would with a bow.
Can I put Infinity on a crossbow?
Yes, Infinity can now be applied to crossbows with this mod, though it works the same way as on bows—you still need arrows in your inventory for it to function.
What enchantments can I actually put on a crossbow now?
Any enchantment that works on bows can now be applied to crossbows, including Power, Punch, Flame, Infinity, and Mending, among others.
Can I combine multiple damage enchantments on one crossbow?
Yes, you can stack damage-boosting enchantments like Power and Sharpness on the same crossbow using an anvil, though you'll need to manage experience costs as you combine them.
Does Flame actually work on crossbow bolts?
Yes, Flame will set targets on fire when hit by bolts from an enchanted crossbow, just as it does with arrows from a bow.
Will this mod conflict with other mods that add crossbow enchantments?
Conflicts are possible if another mod also modifies crossbow enchantments; check mod compatibility lists or test in a world to be sure.
Do I need to use a special enchanting table or anvil?
No, the standard enchanting table and anvil work fine—the mod simply expands what enchantments are allowed on crossbows in vanilla mechanics.
Can I get these enchantments from fishing or loot chests?
Enchanted crossbows with these enchantments can appear in loot if the mod is installed, though the exact sources depend on your world settings.
Does this affect crossbow durability or performance?
The mod only changes which enchantments are available—it doesn't alter crossbow durability, damage values, or game performance.
Can I remove an enchantment from a crossbow if I change my mind?
Use a grindstone to remove enchantments and recover some experience, or place the crossbow in a crafting grid with a book to transfer enchantments elsewhere.
