Choose the Right Wood and Riser Combination

Explore Wood Options

The mod offers 10 different wood types, including standard options like oak and birch, plus special varieties from the Nether and swamps such as Crimson, Warped, and Mangrove. Each wood type has different visual characteristics and may affect bow performance.

Understand Riser Tiers

Risers come in three strength tiers: wood, iron, and copper. Wood risers are the weakest but easiest to obtain. Iron risers offer better durability and draw strength. Copper risers provide the highest tier performance. Your riser choice significantly impacts your finished bow's stats.

Mix and Match for 66 Combinations

With 10 woods, 3 risers, and 2 string types, you can create 66 unique bow variations. Experiment with different combinations to find aesthetics you prefer and performance levels that suit your playstyle.

Consider Availability

Special woods from the Nether and swamps require more travel and preparation. Standard woods are faster to gather but may produce less visually distinctive bows. Balance convenience with the look you want.

Test Different Setups

Craft several bows with different material combinations and compare their performance in actual combat or target practice to find your preferred setup.
