Extra Bows FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I make my first bow upgrade?
You need an Upgrade Plate plus the specific materials for your upgrade (for example, Arrow and Upgrade Plate for Double Arrow). Start by crafting Strong Stone from Planks and Cobblestone, then work up through Strong Iron and Strong Diamond to get Upgrade Plates.
What's the difference between Double Arrow and Triple Arrow upgrades?
Double Arrow fires 2 arrows per shot while Triple Arrow fires 3 arrows per shot, both using only one arrow from your inventory. Triple Arrow consumes more durability but deals more total damage.
How long does the Bridge Upgrade bridge last?
The bridge built by the Bridge Upgrade disappears after approximately 20 seconds, so it's useful for crossing gaps temporarily but won't create permanent structures.
Can I use upgrades on the vanilla bow?
Yes, the vanilla bow is supported and can use all 11 upgrades just like the material-based bows.
Which upgrade lets me shoot without using arrows?
The Arrow Cost Upgrade reduces arrow consumption when applied to a bow, making your arrows last longer.
How do I open the upgrade inventory?
Press B to open the upgrade inventory where you can manage and apply upgrades to your bows.
What materials do I need for the Freeze upgrade?
You need Snowball, Snow Block, and an Upgrade Plate to craft the Freeze Upgrade.
Can I stack multiple upgrades on one bow?
The mod supports applying upgrades to bows, but check your config options as some servers or modpacks may limit how many upgrades can be combined.
What's the strongest bow I can craft?
The Emerald Bow is the highest-tier material bow, crafted from Emerald, Diamond Bow, and Strong Emerald.
Do the elemental upgrades work differently than vanilla arrows?
Yes—upgrades like Fire, Lightning, Ender, and Freeze apply special effects to your arrows beyond normal damage, such as setting targets on fire or teleporting them.
