Crossbow

A crossbow is a ranged weapon crafted from sticks, string, iron ingots, and a tripwire hook, designed for powerful, long-range attacks. Unlike a bow, a crossbow must be loaded before firing, allowing players to prepare a shot in advance and fire instantly when needed. A crossbow can shoot arrows and firework rockets, making it effective for both combat and explosive attacks. It has higher base damage than a bow but a slower reload time. It can also be enchanted with abilities such as Quick Charge to reduce reload speed, Multishot to fire multiple arrows at once, and Piercing to allow arrows to pass through multiple targets. Due to its strength and versatility, a crossbow is a powerful weapon for PvP, hunting, and fighting strong mobs like the Ender Dragon or the Wither. It can be repaired using other crossbows or an anvil.
