Arrow Popper
by itsmiir
Once an arrow, trident or other projectile lodges in the ground, Arrow Popper swaps it for an item rather than leaving it in place until it despawns.
What it does
When an arrow, trident or similar projectile lands, it is converted into its item and dropped on the spot rather than staying in the world and eventually disappearing. The change is meant to keep ammunition recoverable without manual pickup of every stuck projectile. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. Builds cover 1.14 – 1.20.1 on Fabric and Quilt, and the code is under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is open source.
Key features
Projectiles drop as items
When an arrow, trident or similar projectile sticks into a block or the ground, it is converted into an item on impact.
No lost ammunition
Projectiles are not left to despawn, so stuck arrows are recovered as items rather than vanishing.
Simple behavior
The mod changes only what happens when projectiles land, with no new items, blocks or screens.

What the author says
this mod is very simple-- it just makes arrows, tridents, and other projectiles that stick in the ground turn into items when they despawn instead of disappearing forever. should work for all versions.
