Hey, so I have finally figured out how to make most of a bow, I have the textures done for the bow and the new arrow, however the only problem I'm having is making it so when I drawback my bow, it pulls the bow back like the normal bow, it does the animation but the string doesn't get pulled back, if that makes sense?

Yeah but I named it ObsidianBow_pulling_0, ObsidianBow_pulling_1 and ObsidianBow_pulling_2 because the bow colour is different.

 

Edit: And yeah I tried putting "Obsidian" before the bow_pulling_0 etc before uploading my code.

I'm on 1.8.9.

Okay thanks I'll try that now, thanks for both of your help.
