GeckoBoyArrowTweaks
by JulianWww
GeckoBoyArrowTweaks lets players craft arrows from separate parts (shaft, tip and effect) on a Fletching Table, so each arrow can carry its own properties.
What it does
Arrows are built from a shaft, a tip and an effect, and each part is chosen in the fletching table. The table also offers options for quivers, fast storage and quick selection. Several parts draw on common materials: feathers, phantom membranes, wheat, sticks, blaze rods, breeze rods, flint, prismarine shards, echo shards, amethyst shards, slime balls, gunpowder, glowstone dust and potions. Arrows crafted without a tip hit noticeably weaker.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11 and 26.2, and the latest build is beta-0.1.0 for 26.2, released on the beta channel on 2026-09-04. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and the project has public links for source, issues and a wiki. Installation requires no other mod.
Key features
Modular arrow crafting
Shafts, tips and effects are combined at a Fletching Table to produce customizable arrows with different properties.
Movement and targeting effects
Echo shards make arrows home in on a target chosen by left-clicking with a bow, and breeze rods let arrows ignore gravity.
Fire, explosion and glow effects
Blaze rods set struck blocks and entities on fire, gunpowder makes arrows explode on landing, and glowstone dust gives hit entities a glowing effect.
Piercing and bounce
Amethyst shards add two levels of piercing, while slime balls let arrows bounce off blocks.
Tipped arrows and loot
Potions turn arrows into tipped arrows, and some skeleton variants fire tipped arrows and drop them as loot.
