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.

Features:
- Unlocks Full Bow Enchantments for Crossbows

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