The project's source code and issue tracker are public. The only published file is version 1.0.10 for 1.12.2, released on 2023-06-08 on the alpha channel, and the code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only.

What the author says

This mod simply adds new arrows that you can use. These new arrows can all be used with the vanilla bow and should also be valid for modded bows too! Have a new arrow idea? Let me know in the comments! No guarantee I will make it add it. | Arrow Name | Base Damage | Effect |…
