Bow and crossbow draw-state comparisons

Inspected releases: Minecraft 1.16.5 / AoA 3.6.11, Minecraft 1.20.1 / AoA 3.7.1, and Minecraft 1.21.1 / AoA 3.7.16.1.

This gallery covers 42 item identities in each release: 33 bows and 9 crossbows. That is 126 release-specific records and 558 source-state references. Every selected item has its own base/override model hashes and texture hashes; newer textures are not silently substituted into an older card.

Coral Crossbow resting, drawing, charged and firework source states

These are actual 16×16 layer0 textures enlarged without smoothing. They supplement the ordinary model portraits. They do not certify assembled 3D poses, animation, HUD/game rendering or equal weapon behavior.

Which states are shown?

Family Columns / states
Bow · four states Resting; pulling; pulling with pull threshold 0.65; pulling with pull threshold 0.90
Crossbow · six states Resting; pulling; pulling with pull threshold 0.58; pulling with pull threshold 1.0; charged; charged with firework

The inspected resources use namespaced minecraft:pulling, minecraft:pull, minecraft:charged and minecraft:firework predicates. These are model-selection definitions. A firework image is not by itself proof that a modpack permits that ammunition or that a shot was tested.

The draw override models and their parents remain recorded as shipped. Their transform and resource-pack behavior needs separate target-client checks.

What changed between releases?

28 identities have matching RGBA texture sequences and predicates across all three inspected releases. Fourteen have two different source-pixel sequences. The sheet labels identify exactly which versions share each one.

Ten of those fourteen use one sequence in 1.16.5 and another in both newer releases. Four share their 1.16.5/1.20.1 sequence but differ in 1.21.1. This is a comparison of the inspected artifacts, not a claim about the exact patch that introduced a change.

Expand an item to compare its source sheets. A shared sheet is reused only after checking the RGBA pixels and predicate sequence for that exact item ID. Each release-specific item link still uses its own inventory data and source references.

Fast, version-safe browsing

The item browser creates a state image only when its Bow / crossbow source draw-state textures panel is first expanded. Images are lazy, have a reserved aspect ratio, and keep a full-resolution link if loading fails. The selected inventory release is reused; there is no extra state-data request on each card.

The 126 records use 56 pixel-distinct sheets, avoiding 70 duplicate image files without mixing different version artwork. Shared pixels do not prove shared model transforms, item components, timing, ammo, damage or gameplay.

For the earlier historical release, the separate 33-bow 1.12.2 gallery contains 132 additional state references and preserves its different model-parent structure.

Every released model/texture hash, pixel signature and sharing group. Source artwork belongs to Tslat and contributors; checkerboards and labels are documentation aids.
