Turne off arrow
by ModsOverlord
Turne off arrow stops arrows fired by mobs such as skeletons and bandits from piling up after they hit a block.
What it does
Arrows fired by non-player creatures, such as skeletons or a dispenser-style launcher, are removed once they collide with a block entity or hit a target. Without the mod, these arrows can accumulate in the world and in containers, and they cannot be picked up by mobs. Turne off arrow is a server-side only change, so players join without installing anything, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 14 release versions, 1.12.2 – 1.21.10, under the MIT License.
Key features
Removes mob arrows on impact
Arrows fired by non-player creatures are deleted after they hit a block entity or a target.
Stops arrow pile-up
Arrows that would otherwise pile up on the ground after skeleton or bandit attacks no longer remain in the world.
Launcher arrows cleared
Arrows launched from a creature launcher are removed after they hit a block, instead of staying in place.

How it compares
Marrow is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and runs on the client or the server, with files for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8. Configurable Skeleton is also server-side only and MIT licensed, but it targets 1.20.1 alone and changes skeleton behavior more broadly.
