Truly Modular Archery Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start making modular bows?
You need a Modular Workbench from Truly Modular Mod. Place a bow in the workbench, then add components: one Bow Arm for each side, one String, and one Arrow Rest to create your first modular bow.
What's the difference between the arrow rests?
The mod includes 3 different Arrow Rest variants that affect how your bow handles arrows; try each one in the Modular Workbench to see which playstyle you prefer.
Can I make arrows with TNT or other special effects?
Yes, use the Modular Workbench to combine an Arrow Shaft, Arrow Fletching, and a custom Arrow Head—the mod includes heads for TNT, Gunpowder, Enderpearl, Chorus Fruit, Ice, Lightning Rod, and various potion types.
How do I craft a modular crossbow?
Place a crossbow in the Modular Workbench and add the same component types as a bow: Bow Arms, String, and Arrow Rest, following the same assembly process.
Do different bow arms change how the bow works?
Yes, the mod includes 4 different Bow Arm variants that modify bow performance; experiment with different combinations to find the balance of speed, power, and accuracy you want.
Can I use modular bows with vanilla arrows?
Modular bows work with both vanilla arrows and custom modular arrows, so you can mix and match depending on your situation.
What happens if I use a Splash or Lingering Potion arrowhead?
Splash Potion arrows apply their effect in an area when they hit, while Lingering Potion arrows create a cloud that persists on the ground, similar to how potions work in vanilla Minecraft.
Can I change bow components after I've built it?
Yes, place your modular bow back in the Modular Workbench to swap out any component—Bow Arms, String, Arrow Rest, or Arrow Head—without losing the bow.
Is there only one type of string?
The mod includes 1 String variant; all modular bows and crossbows use the same string type.
Do I need Truly Modular Mod installed to use this?
Yes, Truly Modular Archery Mod is an addon that requires Truly Modular Mod and its Modular Workbench to function.
