2D Projectiles ➵
by Gauraaaaaaaa
With 2D Projectiles installed, arrows, firework rockets and tridents are drawn as flat item textures instead of 3D models.
What it does
The mod swaps the three-dimensional arrow mesh for a flat sprite taken from the item texture, and removes the critical hit particles, which are enabled by default. Firework rockets get a reworked model that is scaled up, and it turns flat when fired from a crossbow. Arrows and firework rockets also play a roll animation whose speed depends on their velocity.
The default values are tuned for the vanilla textures. With a texture pack, the orientation of an arrow or the tip of a firework rocket may need adjusting in the config file. Normal arrows, spectral arrows and modded arrows can each take their own direction there. The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. It needs Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.2 for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the environment is client-side only.

What the author says
This mod will replace the 3D arrow model with its 2D item texture model. It will also remove the Critical particles (enabled by default). The Firework Rocket got a little rework too, the model is scaled up and will be flat if shouted from a crossbow.
