Improved Fletching

by DontNeg

Improved Fletching lets a fletching table craft four extra arrow types: Magma, Carrot, Quartz and Honey-Dipped.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 1.21.3

What it does

The mod changes the fletching table so it can be used as a crafting table-style block, and adds custom arrows that only that table can craft. Each of the four arrows has a different effect: Magma Arrow sets targets on fire, Carrot Arrow works as bonemeal that skips the random growth amount on a crop, Quartz Arrow deals extra instant damage, and Honey-Dipped Arrow applies Slowness II to targets.

Improved Fletching requires Fabric API. The server and every player need the mod installed. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.3, and the latest Fabric file is 0.4-1.21.3 for 1.21.3, published 2024-12-01 under the MIT License. The source code is public, and the project is open source.

Key features

  1. Fletching table crafting

    The fletching table takes on a broader role, working in the same way as a crafting table for the new recipes.

  2. Magma Arrow

    An arrow that uses the flame effect, setting enemies ablaze when it hits.

  3. Carrot and Quartz arrows

    Carrot Arrow acts as bonemeal without the random growth amount, and Quartz Arrow adds instant damage on impact.

  4. Honey-Dipped Arrow

    Applies Slowness II to targets, slowing them down after a hit.

Improved Fletching is a simple mod that allows the fletching table to be used as a sort of crafting table-esque block. Alongside this addition, I have added four custom arrow types that can be crafted exclusively using the fletching table: magma, carrot, quartz, and honey-dipped. This is a very lightweight mod that…
