Custom Arrows
Custom Arrows lets players build arrows from different vanilla materials at a Fletching Table, with each combination changing the arrow's stats.
What it does
Arrows are assembled in a dedicated Fletching Table screen. The crafter chooses a shaft, a head and a fletching material, and the chosen parts set how the arrow behaves when it is fired. The mod uses only materials that already exist in the game, so it adds no new items of its own and keeps the item list short.
The arrows work with both the bow and the crossbow. Mixing materials such as flint, prismarine shard, amethyst shard or quartz as heads, with sticks, bamboo, sculk vein or blaze rods as shafts, and feathers, popped chorus fruit, wheat, ender pears, gunpowder or potions for fletching gives players a reason to use the table. The mod runs on Forge 1.20.1 and needs to be installed on the server and on every client.
Key features
Fletching Table screen
A dedicated crafting interface opens when a player interacts with the Fletching Table block.
Modular arrow crafting
Each arrow is built from separate parts, so one arrow can combine several vanilla materials in a single craft.
Material-based stats
Different materials change the arrow's conditions and stats, so the same shaft can behave differently depending on its head.
Bow and crossbow support
The custom arrows can be fired from both the bow and the crossbow without extra setup.

What the author says
This mod doesn't add any bloated custom items. It utilizes purely vanilla materials, giving you a reason to finally use the Fletching Table and customize your ammunition for both Bow and Crossbow. You can also let me know what other content you'd like to see or request support for a specific mod.
