Fletching Expanded
by supertoady
Fletching Expanded reworks archery on Fabric, adding a Fletching Table with its own crafting screen and eight new arrow types for ranged combat.
What it does
The mod replaces the vanilla fletching system with a custom GUI. Arrow shafts, arrow tips and finished arrows are combined in the table, and a number of example recipes are included. Tipped arrows are crafted through the same screen, and a normal potion can be used in place of flint arrows for the recipe.
Each new arrow changes how a hit lands. Flame arrows set mobs on fire, frost arrows freeze and slow them, amethyst arrows shatter on impact to deal area damage, echo arrows launch enemies into the air, and slime arrows bounce. Iron and flint arrows are also adjusted, with flint slightly stronger. Enchantments and weaponry can be stored in a quiver and used to switch arrows from the combat tool store.
Installation needs Fabric API. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 0.1.3-1.21.1 for 1.21.1 as the latest file. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, although the source code is public. Combat Amenities is an optional dependency.

How it compares
Fletching Overhaul is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1, client and server, under the MIT License and open source. Fair Fletching covers 1.21.1 – 26.3 under the BSD 3-Clause License and is open source. Fletching Table is a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt mod for 1.21.3 that only the server needs, under the MIT License and not open source, so it differs in environment and loader support from this mod.
