Metal Arrows: Beyond Flint
by LOREal Mods
Metal Arrows: Beyond Flint adds arrows with iron, copper, gold, diamond and netherite heads to Minecraft Fabric builds 1.21 – 26.3.
What it does
Each metal arrowhead gives its arrow its own damage value, and the set covers five materials from iron to netherite. Tipped and spectral variants of the metal arrows are added as separate items, while the vanilla tipped and spectral arrows keep their current recipes and behavior.
Skeletons, pillagers and other eligible mobs can fire metal arrows, and a fixed chance decides which material a mob uses, so each mob keeps its arrow material across shots and chunk reloads. A Fletcher villager also sells them. The mod needs Fabric API, which must match the Minecraft version in use.
Files cover 15 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, on Fabric only. Both the server and every player need the mod, since it runs on both sides. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Metal-headed arrows
Arrows with iron, copper, gold, diamond and netherite heads, each with its own damage value.
Tipped and spectral variants
Metal arrows can take a lingering potion or glowstone dust, using the same 3×3 layout as vanilla recipes.
Piercing crossbow support
Crossbows with the Piercing enchantment fire metal arrows with the extra pierce the enchantment grants.
Stable mob drops
Mobs roll one material at spawn, so the same mob fires the same arrows for its whole life.
