Better Archery

This mod is currently in beta, expect bugs and missing features!

Tipped arrows will come in a future release!

This mod adds a GUI for the fletching table and removes arrow recipes.

Arrow attributes

Arrows now have 3 different attributes: Damage, Speed, Accuracy.

• Damage decides how much damage will the arrow deal. Sharper head parts deal more damage.
• An arrow with more speed will travel further away. Heavy parts slow the arrow down.
• Accuracy ranges between 0 and 1. It decides how accurate the arrow is. Accuracy is based on the material of the tail.

Tiny flint

• Can be obtained by putting a normal flint in the crafting table.
• Can be used as the head part in arrow crafting.
• Deals more than normal flint.

Bone stick

• Can be crafted from 2 bones.
• Replacement for the stick in arrows.
• Lighter than the stick, therefore arrows crafted from it are generally faster.

Strider hair & Strider hair

• You can now cut a striders hair with a pair of scissors and craft a better tail form it.
• Strider fletching increases speed & accuracy.

Spectral upgrade

• Can be crafted.
• When used on the fletching table, it allows you to craft spectral arrows.
• 1 glowstone / 4 spectral arrows.

Fletching table GUI

• On the left, there are 3 slots for the arrow parts.
• On the right, you can select the type of arrow.
• If it has the spectral upgrade, you can input glowstone on the left.

For mod & modpack makers

You can add more parts with datapacks using the arrow_material resource type.
