Damaging Groups with the Disc Crossbow

Preparing Music Discs as Ammo

The Disc Crossbow modifies standard ranged combat by utilizing music discs as ammunition rather than arrows:

1. Collect music discs by maneuvering skeletons to eliminate creepers, or loot them from dungeon and structure chests.

2. Keep your collected music discs in your main inventory or hold them in your off-hand slot.

3. Place the Disc Crossbow in your active hand slot.

Managing Ricocheting Shots

The Disc Crossbow is designed specifically for crowd control against groups of mobs:

1. Locate an encounter with multiple hostiles, such as a village raid, a mob spawner, or a crowded cave chamber.

2. Draw the Disc Crossbow completely and aim at an enemy located within the pack.

3. Release the shot to fire the music disc.

Upon hitting the initial target, the music disc will bounce between nearby enemies, striking multiple mobs with a single loaded projectile. Aim for the center of enemy formations so the disc has immediate secondary targets within range, maximizing the number of ricochets before the shot ends.
