Bowcasting Mod (26.3, 1.20.1) – Turn Everyday Archery Into Arcane Spellcasting

Bowcasting Mod brings animated spell circles and glowing rune trails to bows and crossbows. It triggers multi-stage magical rings when you draw a ranged weapon and sends runic particles flying alongside every shot. The mod works purely on the client side, letting you add fantasy flair to archery without altering server gameplay.

Features:

• Spell Circles: Drawing a bow or crossbow summons animated magical rings right at your weapon.
• Rune Trails: Fired arrows leave behind spinning runes that expand and fade in midair.
• World Lighting: Spell effects emit real-time light when paired with LambDynamicLights.
• Custom visuals follow weapon angles and hand motions in both first-person and third-person views.
• Rune particle spacing adjusts naturally based on how fast the projectile travels.
• Includes an optional in-game menu through Cloth Config and Mod Menu to adjust visual sizes and turn specific effects on or off.

Configuration:

• Bow Effects: Turns spell rings on or off for regular bows.
• Crossbow Effects: Turns magical visual effects on or off for crossbows.
• Projectile Effects: Toggles rune trails behind launched arrows and bolts.
• Projectile Particle Style: Changes the appearance and shape of arrow runes.
• Scale Multiplier: Changes how large the magical circles appear on screen.
• Rotation Speed Multiplier: Changes how fast the summoned spell circles spin.
