- 🕒 Simple Mode: Pure timed cycles (shoot X minutes, break Y minutes) - no interruptions, no daily limits
- 📊 Efficiency Mode: Automatic breaks when XP rates drop below your threshold (default: 60%)
- 🧠 Learning Mode: Server-adaptive optimization with pattern learning and automatic timing adjustments
- Detects bossbar progress format:
[current / total xp]- works with all McMMO configurations - Real-time XP rate monitoring with 100k XP/min baseline (GOOD performance)
- Automatic efficiency tracking and diminishing returns detection
- Performance ratings: EXCELLENT (150k+), GOOD (100k+), FAIR (80k+), BELOW AVERAGE, POOR
- Tabbed settings interface with 6 organized sections (Timing, Movement, Simple Mode, Efficiency, Learning, HUD)
- Customizable HUD with 4 corner positioning options and scaling (50%-150%)
- Mode-aware display showing relevant information per operating mode
- Real-time efficiency monitoring with visual progress bars
- Network packet-based bow automation for Minecraft 1.21 Fabric
- Advanced randomization with pattern detection avoidance
- Movement variation control (completely optional - OFF stays OFF)
- Durability protection with configurable thresholds
- Multi-hand bow support (main hand and offhand detection)
- Learns optimal timing patterns for each server automatically
- Adapts to server response patterns and anti-cheat systems
- Comprehensive session statistics and daily tracking
- Daily session limits with smart reset functionality
Unlike simple timer-based mods, Auto Bow monitors your actual McMMO XP rates and automatically takes breaks when efficiency drops below your configured threshold. This ensures optimal XP farming while respecting server diminishing returns mechanics.
Example: If your XP rate drops from 120k/min to 60k/min (below 60% threshold), the mod automatically pauses for a configurable break period to restore full XP rates.

- O Key: Open settings GUI
Access the tabbed settings GUI (default: O key) to customize:
- Draw time range (customizable timing)
- Cooldown between shots
- Durability protection threshold
- Movement variation control (OFF/Low/Medium/High)
- Advanced randomization options
- Complete user control (OFF stays OFF)
- Timed shooting/breaking cycles
- No XP monitoring or daily limits

- Server adaptation warnings prevent unwanted setting changes
- Comprehensive logging for troubleshooting
- Client-side only: Works on most multiplayer servers where automation is permitted
- Cross-platform: Windows, macOS, and Linux support
- Performance optimized: Minimal impact on game performance
- Mod Menu integration: Config button opens settings GUI
- Gaussian distribution timing patterns
- Pattern breaking algorithms
- Bias drift for long-term variation
- Micro-randomization for authenticity
- Optional movement variation
