Fire-Arrow
Fire-Arrow adds two arrow types to the bow for Fabric: an explosive arrow and a fire charge arrow, both launched from the standard bow in vanilla gameplay.
What it does
The mod follows vanilla gameplay logic and keeps the bow as it is. Its new content is two arrows: one that triggers a small explosion on impact, useful for hitting groups of mobs without damaging terrain, and one that sends a tracking fire charge toward nearby enemies and sets them alight.
A third entry, the fireball arrow, launches fireballs in the manner of a Ghast. The author describes the mod as adding only a few practical arrows while making adventures more enjoyable, and treats the extra options as a tactical layer on top of the existing bow rather than a set of complex mechanics.
Installation needs Fabric API. Mod Menu is optional and only adds a configuration screen. Fire-Arrow runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, across five release versions 1.21.11 – 26.3, under a custom license that is not open source.

Use cases
Mob groups
The explosive arrow suits clearing groups of mobs where a single target would take too long.
Ranged fights
The homing fire charge gives a bow user a way to keep pressure on enemies that move around.
Who it’s for: Players who want a few extra bow options in an adventure playthrough, with a Fabric client and server installed.
How it compares
Exploding Arrow is a server-side only Fabric mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved, so players can join without installing it. Fire-Arrow itself needs both sides and is not open source.
