CustomBows

Hello everyone, this is the first resource I'm uploading to Spigot and I plan to keep this updated and active for as long as possible. This is a custom bows plugin which offers interesting variations to regular bows in the game. Some bows teleport you, others shoot any entities you want, creepers, dragons, and even TNT. All the information about the plugin is listed in depth below! Thanks for taking a look.

This plugin comes with a custom built inventory GUI, which you can use to buy the custom bows that are provided with the plugin, it is vault compatible which means it can use any economy system that is built on Vault. The list of all bows and the GUI inventory can be seen below.

TNT Bow:
With a TNT bow you can shoot TNT throughout the map, all TNT is in its primed state, and will exploded after a given amount of seconds.
Teleport Bow:
The teleport bow will teleport the player to the location that its arrows land at.
Attraction Bow:
The attraction bow will bring any entity that it hits directly to you! This can be really handy for killing mobs at long distances, only challenging one mob at a time. This also adds new PVP mechanics, as the ability to bring players back into action can be added.
MachineGun Bow:
This bow fires very rapidly, sending out arrows like a machine gun. A very powerful weapon that you can configure! Remember you can configure as much ammo per use as you need. Currently shooting every 2 ticks, for 20 ticks total.
Fire Bow:
The Fire Bow can be used to light entities on fire within a radius of where the arrow lands. Currently to a radius of 5 blocks in each axis, this will be configurable soon.
Life Steal Bow:
The damage that you do to an enemy, is dealt, there after you are awarded half of the damage you dealt to the enemy.
(needs more configuration)
Ice Bow:
The ice bow freezes any entity, as well as their view position. This hard freeze as of now freezes for 3 seconds.
(needs more configuration, since 3 seconds is a pretty long stun, it's geared for pve currently)
Thief Bow:
The thief bow lets you steal armor from players assuming they have any, there is a configurable percentage that you can set to make the thief bow as good as you want it.
Apollo's Bow
Has the ability to give the player a speed boost when they hold it in their hand.
Warrior's Bow
Gives the player a selected amount of additional hearts upon equipping the bow.
