Spartan Weaponry Ranged Weapons and the Quiver
Beyond melee, Spartan Weaponry adds dedicated ranged weapons, thrown options and a quiver to supply them. This guide covers your ranged loadout.
Bows and crossbows
The Longbow and Heavy Crossbow are the mod's ranged mainstays, each crafted in the various material tiers. The heavy crossbow fires
Bolt ammunition, giving an alternative to standard arrows.
Thrown weapons
Several weapons are meant to be thrown at enemies:
- Throwing Knife and Tomahawk — light, quick throwables.
- Javelin — a thrown spear.
- Boomerang — returns to you after being thrown.
The Quiver
The Quiver stores arrows and bolts so you can carry ammunition without filling inventory slots, and it can be upgraded through smithing. If a mod like Apotheosis is present, Spartan Weaponry also adds fletching recipes and tipped projectiles for applying effects to your shots. Together the bows, thrown weapons and quiver give a full ranged kit to pair with the mod's melee arsenal.
Three systems serve ranged weapons
The ranged side has its own small recipe categories, separate from the main crafting list:
- Fletching — 9 recipes, for arrows and bolts
- Tipped Projectile — 9 recipes, applying potion effects to projectiles
- Quiver Upgrade Smithing — 6 recipes
Nine tipped-projectile recipes against nine fletching recipes is a clean pairing: essentially every projectile the mod fletches can also be tipped.
Quivers upgrade through smithing
The six quiver recipes go through a smithing table rather than a crafting grid, which puts them alongside the mod's 24 smithing transforms for netherite weapon upgrades rather than with ordinary crafting.
Recycling ammunition and weapons
Tag Smelting and Tag Blasting carry 14 recipes each, and they exist to turn metal weapons back into ingots. With 476 items in the mod, that recycling path is what makes trying an unfamiliar weapon low-risk.
Version note
This is a 1.20.1-only line (3.2.1) — there is no 1.21.1 build, so nothing here applies to a newer pack.
Where this sits in the whole mod
Ranged weapons are a small corner of a very large item list — 476 items across 486 pages, with 446 of the recipes in an ordinary crafting grid. The 24 ranged and quiver recipes are the specialised part; everything else you carry is bench-made.
