Features
🏹 Crossbow Enhancements
- Configurable Reload Time: Adjust crossbow reload speed (1-10 seconds, default 4)
- Reload While Moving: Removes movement restrictions, allowing reloading while moving, jumping, or performing other actions
- Stamina Management: Option to disable stamina drain during reload
🧠 Smart Reload System
- Movement Freedom: When enabled, crossbows can reload while moving
- Stamina Control: Toggle stamina consumption during reload on/off
- Immediate Application: Changes apply instantly to all crossbows
Configuration
ServerSync Settings
- Lock Configuration: When enabled, only server admins can change settings
Crossbow Settings
- Crossbow Enabled: Main functionality toggle
- Crossbow Loading Time: Reload duration in seconds (1-10, less = faster)

- Reload Stamina Drain: Toggle stamina consumption during reload
How It Works
