Arrow Recycling
Arrow Recycling lets players smelt surplus arrows in a furnace, turning each arrow into one iron ingot after a stack of mob-grinding loot builds up.
What it does
Arrow Recycling gives arrows a second use in survival play. A player who has collected more arrows than needed can place them in a furnace and smelt them into iron ingots, one ingot per arrow. The mod targets players who gather arrows from mob grinders and have no other use for them. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.17.1 – 26.2, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Arrow smelting

Recovers surplus loot
Stacks of arrows that would otherwise sit unused in storage gain a practical use.
Balanced conversion
The recipe is kept simple, so the trade of arrows for iron stays predictable in survival.
