Proper Fletching
by FROG__MAN
Proper Fletching turns the fletching table into a working station that combines arrows with potions to craft tipped arrows.
What it does
In vanilla the fletching table is mostly decorative, and tipped arrows are made in the crafting table. Proper Fletching gives the fletching table its own interface and makes it the place where arrows and potions are combined, which keeps the crafting table free of custom items. A potion's effects carry over directly to the arrows it is combined with.
Each potion type has its own yield. Regular potions and splash potions each tip arrows, and lingering potions follow the same procedure as splash potions. A potion bottle tips up to 32 arrows and returns an empty glass bottle, while a splash or lingering potion tips up to 16 arrows and is used up. Vanilla tipped arrows are used instead of new items, so existing tipped arrows and their recipes stay compatible.
The mod runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. It is available for Fabric only, in the 1.21.9 – 1.21.11 range, and its latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11. Proper Fletching is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.

Potion yields

Vanilla arrow items
