ArrowUtil

by XtreaMC

ArrowUtil is a client-side Fabric mod that adds bow aids such as arrow trails, path prediction and shot statistics.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

ArrowUtil gives the bow quality-of-life features. It draws trails behind arrows in flight, predicts the path an arrow will follow from the current aim, and records aiming statistics. A last-shot ghost and a last-shot helper show where the previous arrow landed, and arrow recovery helps players pick up arrows after a shot.

The mod runs on the client only, so players install it while servers need nothing extra. Its configuration screen depends on Cloth Config, which must be installed alongside it. Files are published for Fabric, covering 1.20.1, 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest build. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Arrow trails

    A visible trail follows each arrow in flight, making its arc easier to read at a distance.

  2. Path prediction

    The expected arrow path is drawn from the current aim, so players can adjust before releasing the bow.

  3. Aiming statistics

    Shot data is tracked while aiming, giving players a readout of their accuracy and draw.

  4. Last shot ghost and helper

    The previous arrow's landing point is marked, and a helper overlay assists the next aim toward it.

  5. Arrow recovery

    Arrows that have landed can be collected again, which helps when shooting in a set area.
