Fletching Recipe
by CoolerProMC
Fletching Recipe adds a new recipe type to the vanilla Fletching Table, so the table can craft arrows with more input types and an explosive variant.
What it does
The mod introduces a custom recipe type for the Fletching Table. Recipes can accept sized ingredients, and component-based or NBT-based ingredients, so a Lingering Potion can be matched by its specific potion contents. Input stack counts can be set directly in a recipe, which lets a recipe craft more arrows from the same amount of an ingredient.
A custom GUI screen replaces the vanilla Fletching Table interface. Explosive arrows are crafted at the table, and their ingredients are configurable through JSON, giving datapack creators full control over which items go into them. The mod is designed for modpacks and datapack authors who want the table to do more than its default recipes allow.
Fletching Recipe runs on the client and the server, so both need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with the Forge build covering 1.21.11 and the Fabric and NeoForge builds covering 26.3. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Public links exist for the source code, the issue tracker and a wiki.
Key features
Extra arrows per ingredient
Recipes can specify input counts directly, so the same amount of material can yield more arrows than the vanilla recipe.
Explosive arrows
The table can craft explosive arrows that detonate on impact with enemies.
Advanced ingredient types
Sized, component-based and NBT-based ingredients are supported, allowing recipes to match complex items such as potions with specific contents.
Configurable recipes
Explosive arrow ingredients are set through JSON, so modpack makers can change or extend them without code.
