Ranged enchantments
Bows, crossbows, tridents, fishing rods. Multi-shot, snipe, return-loyalty, plus a few weird ones.
Ranged weapon enchantments on Sunday Market expand on vanilla's Power, Punch, Infinity, Multishot, Loyalty, and Lure. Same idea — make ranged combat and fishing more interesting and more powerful.
This page covers the most prominent. The full set lives in the world to discover.
Bow enchantments
Snipe
Bonus damage at long range. The farther the target, the more damage — vanilla bow damage doesn't really scale with distance, this fixes that.
A Snipe IV bow at full draw, hitting a target 60+ blocks away, hits much harder than a Sharpness-equivalent at point blank.
Tripleshot
Three arrows per shot from a bow (vs. crossbow Multishot, which is 3 from crossbows only). Each arrow is independent and tracks separately.
Combined with Snipe at long range, it's a heavy area-denial tool.
Rapid
Faster draw / nock time. Reduces the time-to-shot for full-draw arrows.
Rocket Saver
When firing a crossbow with a firework, the firework isn't always consumed (chance per shot). Slows the burn rate of your firework supply for elytra travel.
Crossbow enchantments
Crossbow gets bow-side variants where applicable, plus a few crossbow-specific:
Multishot+
Vanilla Multishot fires 3 arrows; the custom layer can scale this further or change spread patterns.
Loyalty (crossbow variant)
Some servers add bow/crossbow Loyalty for arrows; not sure of exact behavior on Sunday Market — discover by trying. Left in prose because the level cap and behavior aren't documented.
Trident enchantments
Tridents work on land and water. Custom layer adds:
Loyalty+
Stronger return — the trident returns faster, from greater distance, and through more obstacles than vanilla Loyalty.
Riptide+
Vanilla Riptide propels you when thrown in water/rain. The custom layer can extend range or reduce the cooldown.
Channeling+
Vanilla Channeling summons lightning during a thunderstorm. Custom variants may broaden the conditions or chain effects.
Aquatic enchantments (themed)
A few enchants are specifically tuned for underwater combat — bonus damage to drowned, faster swim speed when holding the trident, etc. Left in prose because they're a thematic group rather than a single named enchant.
Fishing rod enchantments
Fishing rods get the same auto-pickup / utility treatment as tools.
Telekinesis
Caught fish go straight to your inventory instead of dropping at your feet. Big QoL for serious fishers.
Lure+
Vanilla Lure reduces wait time. The custom variant stacks a stronger version on top.
Luck of the Sea+
Vanilla Luck of the Sea improves catch quality. The custom variant stacks a stronger version on top.
Specialty fishing enchants
Some enchants are specifically for fishing — bonus rare-fish chance, automatic enchanted-book pulls, themed catches. Left in prose because the source doesn't name specific enchants in this group.
Ranged combat patterns
"Sniper" build
Bow + Snipe IV + Power V + Punch II + Infinity OR Mending. Long-range high-damage. Best for picking off mobs or players from cover.
"Crowd-clear" build
Bow + Tripleshot III + Power V + Multishot. One draw, three arrows, area denial. Good for swarms or pushing a chokepoint.
"Aerial" build
Crossbow + Rocket Saver II + Multishot+. Rocket-launching builds for elytra play (where elytra is permitted).
"Sea raid" build
Trident + Loyalty III + Riptide III + bonus aquatic enchants. Underwater combat or rain-charge attacks.
"Fisherman" build
Rod + Telekinesis + Lure III + Luck of the Sea III + Mending. Catch faster, catch better, no walking.
- InfinityMending
When ranged > melee
- Picking off snipers / mob spawners from a distance
- Hitting flying mobs (ghasts, phantoms, blaze)
- Long approaches to bosses or fortifications
- Defensive positions — bow from a wall, sword if they breach
- Underwater combat — tridents are vastly better than swords below the surface
When ranged < melee
- Tight spaces — bow draw time and arrow arc don't help in 2-block-wide tunnels
- Fast-moving targets at close range — melee is more reliable
- Sustained DPS — vanilla bow draw + arrow consumption is slower than swing damage on a melee weapon
Most players carry both
A typical loadout: a bow with Snipe + Power on the back, a sword in the main hand. Pick the right tool for the situation. Most ranged-focused enchantments work great on alt weapons you swap to when needed.
