DirtyArrows Plugin (1.12.2) is a plugin that allows you to release the powers of your Bows. When you rename a bow in an anvil to a specific name (possibilities will be shown further down in this post), the bow becomes a real ‘Bastard’. With the plugin enabled, the special bows allow you to use their specific powers. The uses could vary from PvP, PvE, or even aesthetic uses. The config.yml allows you to enable or disable certain Bastards to your wishes. This is my second plugin made in request for a friend of mine, dirtdeluxe (it definitely was him who chose the term ‘Bastard’).

Features

Feature Description
Protection regions Protect certain regions from being harmed by the bow abilities.
New crafting recipe for arrows This feature helps you getting arrows easier than normal. Increases the amount of arrows crafted to 16 (instead of 4).
Sustainable Flint Zombies have a 13% chance of dropping 1-2 flint.
Headshots Damage multiplier for shooting somebody in the head.
Looting Allows for enchanting bows with looting. Also increases the xp dropped.
Custom names You can customize the name of the bows in the configuration (‘bastard’ might be too much). E.g. you can rename your Exploding Bastard to “Rocket Launcher”.
Blood particles Show red particles on impact.
Coloured names Give your bows coloured names. If you do, the bows cannot be crafted regularly.
Anvil cost control Control the amount of levels each bow costs.

The Bows (The ‘Bastards’)

All 69 nice bow types will be listed here. Have you forgotten what all the names are in-game? Use /da help (from page #2) to get the possible bows with a short description. All bow names are also present in the autocompletion of commands. Make sure that you have toggled DirtyArrows on before you can shoot with your Bastards. Use /da to enable or disable the plugin for yourself. If you do not like a feature, you could always disable it in the configuration file. The listed names are the default names, you can change the names in the configuration file.
