Functional Fletching
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.




Functional Fletching is a Minecraft 1.21 datapack that adds a new use to Fletching Tables.
You can now craft arrows easier and more efficiently, and you can even craft new types of arrows! Mix and match different tips, shafts, and fletchings to create fun and exciting arrows.
Craft the new fletching table by putting a vanilla fletching table into the crafting grid. Villagers will NOT use the functional fletching table as a workstation to be a fletcher.
