Overfletched
Overfletched adds a large set of special arrows to Minecraft, along with a crossbow enhancement and a small flying machine, for Fabric players on 1.21.6.
What it does
Overfletched adds a large number of arrow types, each with its own behavior, including a Heavy Arrow, a Cruelty-Free Arrow, a Shovel Arrow, a Splintering Arrow and a Worra Backwards arrow, plus an arrow that turns blue. A separate crossbow variant, the Loaded Crossbow, works only with crossbows. The mod also includes a Miniature Flying Machine and a set of following arrows, which change how projectiles travel.
The mod is built for Fabric and requires Cardinal Components API, Fabric API and Zine, which must be installed alongside it. Overfletched runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for 1.21.6 only, with version 1.0.0 as the latest Fabric file, released on 2025-07-26. The code is closed, and the mod is licensed under All rights reserved.

Better Multishot is open source under the MIT License, is a Fabric mod for 1.19 – 1.21, and it has to run on both client and server. More Arrows (MA) adds arrows for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt on 1.21 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License; the server must run it, while players may leave it out.
