Chronos_sacaria’s Headshot Mod Overview
The Headshot Mod adds a simple but satisfying mechanic: shoot mobs or players in the head with a bow and deal extra damage. It’s perfect if you want ranged combat to feel more rewarding and tactical. You get to play at a distance while enemies take real punishment for headshots.
The mod is server-side, so it works without clients needing to install anything. You can tweak damage values and add extra effects like blindness or nausea to headshot victims. If you’re running a PvP server or just want bow combat to matter more, this is worth trying.
