Frequently asked questions

Why don't I see 3D arrows on my bow?
Make sure the resource pack is enabled and ranked above any conflicting packs in your resource pack list. If arrows still don't appear, try moving Better Bows higher in the load order or disabling other bow-related packs temporarily.
Do the 3D arrow models work with all arrow types?
Yes, the pack includes special visual effects for regular arrows, firework arrows, spectral arrows, and tipped arrows—each type displays its own distinct appearance when drawn.
How do I see multiple arrows on a crossbow with multishot?
When you have the Multishot enchantment on your crossbow and draw it, the resource pack will automatically display three arrows loaded side-by-side instead of one, giving a visual representation of the enchantment.
Will this resource pack work with shader mods?
Better Bows is compatible with most shader mods, though visual quality may vary depending on the shader—some shaders handle 3D models differently than others, so test with your specific shader to confirm.
