Better Arrow Recipe

by pendulumpower

Better Arrow Recipe lets players craft vanilla arrows from iron nuggets instead of flint, which makes arrows easier to obtain.

FabricForgeNeoForgeServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.18.2 – 26.1.2

What it does

Crafting vanilla arrows normally takes flint, which players have to gather, and arrows are a common early bottleneck. This mod changes the arrow recipe so iron nuggets are used in place of flint, with iron obtained and crafted into nuggets with a stick. Arrows then come from a more available material, and the mod does not add new arrow types or items.

Key features

  1. Iron nugget arrow recipe

    Vanilla arrows are crafted with iron nuggets in place of flint, changing only the ingredient list.

  2. Easier arrow supply

    Iron is easier to gather than flint, so players can build up arrows without a long trip to find gravel.

  3. Iron-based crafting path

    Iron is crafted into nuggets with a stick, giving a route to arrows that does not depend on mob farms.

What the author says

This mod allows you to make vanilla arrows using an iron nugget instead of flint. I find that it is much easier to get arrows this way. You no longer have to make a mob farm to get arrows, you can just mine iron and craft the nuggets with a stick and feather.
