Arrow+
by CoolerProMC
Arrow+ adds arrow types with different base damage, crafted from vanilla materials only, for players who want more variety in archery.
What it does
The mod adds new arrow types with custom damage values. Each arrow is crafted with the vanilla arrow recipe shape, swapping flint for a material that fits the arrow's role, so no external items are needed. Bows change their pulling color depending on the arrow type in use, which makes the loaded arrow visible at a glance.
Arrow types are data-driven. Modpack developers can define a new arrow in a simple JSON format, and the Data Generator can produce the file directly. Because the mod stays close to the vanilla combat system and adds no complex systems of its own, it suits modpacks that want a light, modular addition.
Arrow+ runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and must be installed on both the client and the server. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.3, with snapshot builds published for the newer versions. The mod is open source under the MIT License, and its source code, issue tracker and wiki are publicly linked.
Key features
Vanilla-ingredient arrows

Varied base damage
Each arrow type carries its own damage value, giving archers several choices beyond the default arrow.
Pull color by arrow
The bow's pulling color changes with the arrow type loaded, so players can tell the ammunition apart.
Data-driven arrows
Arrows are defined in JSON, and the Data Generator can write those files for modpack developers.
