🛠️ Compound Bow Datapack — Damage Patch  (v1.08)

🎯 A critical fix to projectile damage handling

🔍 Overview

This patch addresses a key issue where projectiles could apply damage more than once under specific conditions. The bug was tied to leftover raycast data from previous hits — now fully resolved through streamlined scoreboard cleanup.

🧨 What Was Fixed

• 🐛 Duplicate damage could occur when ray_arrow projectiles retained ShotPower and ray_step values after hitting a target.

• 🧹 These values are now properly reset on impact, alongside damage_precalc and Player_ID.

• 💥 Guarantees that each arrow deals damage once, no more, no less.

🎯 Why It Matters

• Prevents stacked damage from recursive ray hits.

• Restores accurate hit behavior for ShotPower 6 and long-range impact loops.

• Maintains scoreboard hygiene, especially in multiplayer or heavy combat scenarios.

🔄 Compatibility

• ✅ No gameplay systems were changed — only internal logic.

• ✅ Fully compatible with all v1.7 saves.

• ✅ No update to crafting, resource pack, or models needed.

✍️ Final Note

While small in scope, this patch was too important to remain a shadow fix. With this resolved, the Compound Bow system delivers the exact precision it was designed for — and it's smoother than ever.
