Arrows in Minecraft don’t behave like they do in other games. Instead of going straight where you’re aiming, they drop as they travel because of gravity and velocity loss. This makes long-range shots tricky to land. Trajectory Preview Mod fixes that by showing you a preview line that traces exactly where your arrow (or any projectile) will go. No more wasted arrows. No more missed shots.
What This Mod Does
Visual Projectile Paths
When you draw your bow, hold a snowball, or grab a trident, you’ll see a preview line showing the exact path your projectile will travel. Works with arrows, ender pearls, snowballs, eggs, potions, tridents, and experience bottles.
Client-Side Only
This is a client-side mod, which means you can use it in single-player and multiplayer without requiring other players to have it installed. Just install it on your end and you’re good to go.
Quick Toggle
Press the ‘H’ key to turn the trajectory preview on or off whenever you want. No need to restart or fiddle with settings.
Better PvP and Aim Practice
Whether you’re grinding for accuracy in PvP or just tired of wasting arrows, this mod helps you land your shots consistently. It’s a solid tool for anyone who does any kind of projectile combat.
Compatibility Notes
Trajectory Preview works well with most mods, but it can conflict with mods that change your camera view or projectile mechanics. If you run into issues, try disabling conflicting mods to see if that fixes it.
