OmniCrossbow adds a new enchantment, Omni, which lets you load any item into your crossbow by holding it in your offhand. The projectile you shoot varies based on the item.

There are many unique item behaviors with more to come in future updates! Slime and honey offer new movement tech, many items are high explosives or beam attacks, blocks get placed and tools mine blocks, and much more!

Full List of Effects

  • Thrown items like snowballs, eggs, ender pearls, etc. fly further than by hand
  • Spawn eggs, entity buckets, and other entity-creating items (armor stand, boat, minecart, etc.) launch that entity
  • Snowballs freeze mobs for a few seconds like powder snow
  • TNT launches a TNT
  • Falling blocks like sand, anvil, and dripstone launch as falling blocks
  • Wither skeleton skulls shoot wither skulls
  • Dragon's breath shoots dragon fireballs
  • Slimeballs bounce off of surfaces and knocks back hit entities very far
  • Magma Creams bounce off surfaces and pierce and ignite entities
  • Honey Bottles create a honey slick that you can slide down walls on and prevent fall damage
  • Fishing Rods work like grappling hooks, pulling light mobs towards you or you towards blocks and heavy mobs
  • Blocks place themselves
  • Dyes can dye blocks if the crafting recipe exists (paintball!)
  • Blaze Rods create a beam of fire that instantly burns through flammable blocks
  • Blaze Powder creates a spray of fire projectiles
  • Breeze Rods create a concentrated wind stream that pushes mobs very far
  • Glowstone Dust, Glow Ink Sacs, and Glow Berries give mobs glowing
  • Eyes of Ender let you see from the eye's POV and move it around
  • End Crystals fly slowly and create a large explosion, and can be punched to fly faster but cause a smaller explosion
  • Firework Stars explode
  • Amethyst Shards deal 8 damage and shatter on impact
  • Crossbows fire upon hitting a block or entity
  • Spears deal the appropriate kinetic damage
  • Tools mine the appropriate blocks
  • Weapons deal the appropriate damage
  • Lightning Rods strike lightning if it's thundering
  • Chorus Fruit teleports mobs randomly
  • Gunpowder creates a small explosion
  • Regular potions apply the effect directly
  • Equipment (armor) will equip or replace existing equipment
  • Bells and Note Blocks play sound on impact
  • Items not otherwise handled attempt to simulate a right-click, e.g. waxing copper
  • Echo Shard: ???
  • Nether Star: ???

If you have an idea for an item effect, suggest it on GitHub!

Omni is a treasure enchantment. An Omni enchanted book can be obtained from Ominous Vaults. Additionally, one pillager in the last wave of a raid will have a crossbow enchanted with Omni and is guaranteed to drop its crossbow, however it may result in a bit of chaos trying to take it down...

Locked & Loaded is recommended, as Omni has good synergy with Multichambered, and projectiles such as blaze powder will do more damage due to ignoring invulnerability ticks.

Compat

A lot of modded items should work out-of-the-box, including tools, melee weapons, foods, blocks, spawn eggs, mob buckets, minecarts, and boats.

≤1.21.1 description

Multichambered

Multichambered lets you load multiple shots and fire them one by one, like a revolver. Crouch and use a crossbow to load additional shots when loaded, and use normally to fire. You can load different types of ammo, and the first item you load will be the first item you shoot (so in terms of data structures it's a queue not a stack).

| Level | Capacity | | ----- | -------- | | 1 | 2 | | 2 | 4 | | 3 | 6 |

Multichambered has a max level of 3 (III) and is incompatible with Multishot and Quick Charge.

Compat

If Enchancement is installed, Multichambered will be removed and Omni or Scatter will also act as Multichambered III.

Crossbow Scoping works with Omni and Multichambered.

Under Enchiridion, Omni is categorized as primary and Multichambered is categorized as secondary.
