Headshot
What Headshot does
Headshots with bows deal double damage.
It triggers on shoot;shoot mob and can be applied to bow. The enchant goes up to level 5, and each level changes the numbers rather than the behaviour, so the table below is the whole picture. You may see it written as Sniper in older guides; in game it reads Headshot.
Effects per level
| Level | Chance | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 15% | increase damage 100 on the attacker |
| 2 | 20% | increase damage 100 on the attacker |
| 3 | 25% | increase damage 100 on the attacker |
| 4 | 30% | increase damage 100 on the attacker |
| 5 | 35% | increase damage 100 on the attacker |
Some levels only fire under a condition set by the server, shown in the plugin as ['%is headshot% = true : %allow%']. If the condition is not met, the effect is skipped for that hit.
When it fires
Headshot gets a chance to fire in more than one situation, which makes it far less situational than a single-trigger enchant:
- When your arrow hits a player.
- When your arrow hits a mob.
Other Mythical enchants that fire on the same trigger: Arrow Rain, Astral Archer, Hellbow, Pierce. Stacking several of these on one item means more rolls in the same moment rather than coverage of new situations.

See the How to Get Enchants page for all enchant sources and the recommended apply workflow.
Applying Enchants
Use /ae in-game to access the enchant menu. Higher-tier books have lower default apply success rates. Pair the book with Magic Dust to increase the success rate, and apply a White Scroll to the target item first to protect it from breaking on a failed apply.
