Drawing the bow glitch

[Guest Elagn]

Version #: 78.8

 

Suggested name: Bow Drawing

 

Suggested Category: Severe

 

Description: When firing the bow, releasing at any point whatsoever will confer the same force as firing at full draw. This can result in very high rates of fire if rapidly left clicking. Works drawing arrows from the inventory, quiver, or creative inventory.

 

Have you deleted config files: Yes

I'm fairly certain that this was intentional. What determines the amount of damage that the arrow deals is the distance it traveled. The amount of draw the player uses is to determine just how far their arrow travels.

 

Edit: If the arrow is traveling the exact same distance regardless of if you insta-fire or draw the bow all the way back, then it is a bug. Please clarify.

Sorry about not being clear, the arrow travels the same distance whenever it is released, and just right clicking will send it as far as if you drew it to full draw. Rapidly right clicking will send many quickly, with full velocity too. The distance isn't exactly same for every shot, but they all land almost touching on the same block, with just the usual minimal random variations

Kitty, a quick fire of the bow will send the arrow quite far, doing 700 damage to insta kill on zombies. Mo matter the distance, the damage is the same and no matter how long you draw, the distance travelled seems to be the same.

 

In vanilla, if you quick fire, the arrow just fall to the ground
