More Arrows (MA)
by Andy_71
More Arrows lets a bow fire a set of custom arrows with destructive, utility and novelty effects, and it works through a data pack and commands.
What it does
Players get a set of extra arrow types, from Meteor and Orbital arrows that cause large blasts to TNT, Lightning, Dripstone and Smoke arrows for utility. Jeb and Soul arrows cover more playful or unusual effects. Each arrow has its own item ID, so a player or server owner can grant a specific arrow with a command, or use the listed IDs to fetch the others.
The mod is shipped as a data pack and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Files cover 1.21 – 1.21.11, and the latest build for every loader is beta-1.0+mod for 1.21.11, released 2026-08-16 on the beta channel. The server is the side that needs it, and a client can join without installing anything, so it is server required and client optional. The code is released under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.

Use cases
Survival bow upgrades
Players collect arrows with mining or combat uses to expand what a bow can do in a survival world.
Server reward items
Server owners can give specific arrows to players as rewards or event items through commands.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want custom bow effects, and players who join a server running the mod, benefit from its arrow set. Players who want the content on their own, without a server, need a local install of the data pack.
How it compares
TNT Arrows is a server-side mod for Fabric and Forge with a narrower 1.21.10 – 1.21.11 range, licensed under the MIT License and not open source. Overfletched is a client and server mod for Fabric only, built for 1.21.6 and under All rights reserved. Each of them sits next to a different set of arrow types, so More Arrows covers a broader set of effects while the others cover fewer.
