Archery Things
by CoolerProMC
Archery Things adds a quiver system to Minecraft archery, so a player can carry several arrow types and choose which one a bow fires.
What it does
The mod adds quiver chestplates and leggings that can be bound to a quiver, and a quiver that stores several arrow types at once. When a bow is drawn, the arrow in the selected quiver slot is used automatically, which removes the need to swap arrows by hand. A bound quiver can be opened from anywhere through a hotkey that is set to R by default and can be changed in the controls.
Quivers can be crafted and equipped, and a quiver-armor piece can be taken apart by smashing it on an anvil when it is no longer needed. The design is lightweight and stays close to vanilla mechanics. Archery Things is published for Fabric and NeoForge, with files for 26.3 and game versions 1.21.10 – 26.3, and is licensed under the MIT License as open source.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so the server and every player need it. Snapshot builds are published alongside the release files, and the source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.
Key features
Bound quiver armor
Chestplates and leggings can be bound to a quiver, and the bound quiver then opens from the hotkey.
Multiple arrow types
A single quiver holds several arrow types, and the arrow in the selected slot is the one fired.
Automatic arrow selection
Bows draw from the selected quiver slot, so arrows are used without manual swapping.
Configurable hotkey
The key that opens the quiver interface is set to R by default and can be changed to any key.
Crafting and disassembly
Quiver armor can be crafted and equipped, and it can be broken down again by smashing it on an anvil.

Who it’s for: Players who use bows in survival or adventure play and want to manage several arrow types. Server owners who run the mod need it installed on the server and in each player's game.
