Usage
It would fire like the old bows did. Instant fire on click and can be held down for automatic fire. It would also fire at full power every time.
Breakable
It will break after a certain amount of uses like regular bows. Maybe after two hundred arrows.
Arrows
Like bows, you would need them in your inventory to do it.
Enchantments
It can not be enchanted by itself. HOWEVER, if you craft it with a type of enchanted bow, it will have that power. Like infinite arrows or fire arrow.
Your concept seems good, it's base damage should be of one and half heart without enchanted bows, with no chance to crit and no knockback so it's not too OP, maybe having half the durability of a bow additionally.
I'd favour crossbows that take about four seconds to wind up, which you then click to fire. The shots deal eight hearts of damage to iron armoured characters and can instantly kill an unarmoured creature with less than twenty hearts of health. Deals additional durability damage to diamond armour, as diamond is brittle. Deals little durability damage to gold armour, as gold is soft.

By automatic fire I hope you mean that the x-bow will reload itself after every shot and not that the x-bow will fire like a machine gun.
Also when reloading a x-bow you should have to stand still for 1.5-2 seconds as most x-bows are to strong to reload while moving.

Way to powerful. 8 hearts is insane for an armored character

Powerful, yes... but that's offset by the time it takes to load it. Crossbow bolts are capable of punching through armour and were good at bringing down heavily armoured soldiers in the old days.
Rebalancing could always be done in the interest of keeping it within reason, but if it takes a realistic amount of time to load up, it should deal proportionate damage.

Shut the hell up with your mods. And this goes to everybody.
He was asking for this to be in the actual game, not a mod.
though in my opinion you'd charge it, and on release it would rapid-fire.
