### 🎯 What It Does Tired of bow delay on high-ping servers? **G1axBowOptimizer** eliminates the artificial client-side delay when using bows and crossbows! **Features:** - ⚡ **Instant arrow/bolt release** - Fire immediately when you release right-click - 🎨 **No animation desync** - Bow stays drawn for the correct duration - 🌐 **Works on any ping** - Feels the same on 10ms or 200ms ping - 🔄 **Instant item switching** - Switch items immediately after firing - 🏹 **Responsive rapid fire** - Spam shooting feels smooth and consistent ### ❌ The Problem By default, Minecraft waits for server confirmation before registering bow/crossbow shots. On high ping this causes: - Visible delay between releasing and arrow firing - Animation desync (bow stays drawn too long) - Inconsistent arrow timing - Sluggish item switching after firing - Unresponsive rapid firing ### ✅ The Solution G1axBowOptimizer processes bow/crossbow mechanics **entirely client-side**: - Tracks draw/charge progress locally without waiting for server - Suppresses server desync packets when you've completed the action correctly - Allows instant item switching after release - Works on **any server** - no server-side mod needed! ### 🧪 Test It Yourself Join a high-ping server (100+ ms) and: 1. Use a bow without the mod - notice the delay 2. Install the mod and try again - instant release! 3. Try rapid fire - feels responsive and consistent 4. Fire then switch items - instant switching! ### 🔧 Technical Details The mod uses Mixin to: - Hook into `BowItem` and `CrossbowItem` to track usage - Intercept `ClientPlayerInteractionManager` to detect drawing - Suppress unnecessary server packets via `ClientPlayNetworkHandler` - Track charge progress via `ClientPlayerEntity` tick events **Note**: The server still handles all damage and arrow physics authoritatively. This mod only optimizes client perception and input responsiveness. ### ✅ Compatibility - **Client-side only** - works on any server - Compatible with OptiFine, Sodium, Lithium, Iris - No conflicts with other optimization mods - Requires Fabric API ## Tags bow, crossbow, optimization, lag-fix, client-side, combat, utility, performance ## Client Side Required ## Server Side Unsupported ## License MIT ## Source Code https://github.com/AkaTriggered/G1axBowOptimizer ## Issues https://github.com/AkaTriggered/G1axBowOptimizer/issues ## Version 1.0.0 Changelog **Initial Release** Features: - Instant bow/crossbow release on any ping - Client-side usage tracking - Server desync packet suppression - Instant item switching after firing - Rapid fire optimization - Full crossbow support Compatibility: - Minecraft 1.21.11 - Fabric Loader 0.18.4+ - Fabric API required
