download Skip to Downloads

Crossbows in Minecraft offer precision and power, but their limited enchantment options often leave players preferring traditional bows. Expanded Crossbow Enchanting Mod (1.21.8, 1.21.1) solves this limitation by enabling full compatibility between bow enchantments and crossbows. Now, enchantments like Power, Flame, Punch, and even Infinity once exclusive to bows can be applied directly to your crossbow, massively increasing its combat potential.

With this mod installed, your crossbow becomes more customizable, letting you tailor it for long-range sniping, fire damage, or quick repeat fire without sacrificing the power and mechanics of the crossbow itself. It’s a simple, elegant mod that enhances PvP, survival, and adventure gameplay alike by giving players more freedom in how they enchant their gear.

FAQs

Does this mod add any new enchantments?

No. It doesn’t introduce new enchantments—it simply enables existing bow enchantments to be used on crossbows.

Can I use this with other enchantment mods?

Yes. It’s designed to be lightweight and compatible with most mods that add or modify enchantments.

How do I apply bow enchantments to a crossbow?

You can use an enchantment table, enchanted books, or an anvil—just like you would with a bow.

Is there a way to disable specific enchantments?
