Better Fletching Table
by cptiger2009
Better Fletching Table changes the fletching table so players can craft spectral arrows and tipped arrows, not only standard arrows.
What it does
The mod changes the fletching table block, which is used to craft arrows. Alongside standard arrows, the table can produce spectral arrows and tipped arrows, and later updates are expected to add more special arrow types such as the echo arrow. Crafting uses the table's usual inputs, so no new workstation is needed.
Spectral arrows are made from the normal arrow recipe with glowstone dust added: one dust and one normal arrow material yields eight spectral arrows. Tipped arrows take eight normal arrow materials and one lingering potion, and each batch produces a stack of arrows carrying the matching potion effect. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and the server needs Forge or NeoForge.
Files are published for 1.19.2, 1.19.4, 1.20.1, 1.20.4 and 1.20.6, with the latest Forge and NeoForge builds marked as beta. The code is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
Key features
Spectral arrow crafting
Spectral arrows are crafted at the fletching table by adding glowstone dust to the normal arrow recipe.
Tipped arrow crafting
Tipped arrows take a lingering potion with normal arrow materials and carry that potion's effect.
Eight arrows per craft
Spectral and tipped recipes yield eight arrows at once, where the standard table gives four.
Planned special arrows
Later updates are expected to add more special arrow types, such as the echo arrow, to the table.
