PenetratingArrow brings realistic arrow physics to Minecraft — arrows now shatter and fly straight through glass.
How It Works
Shoot an arrow at any glass block or pane and watch it smash right through. The glass shatters with satisfying particle effects while your arrow keeps flying toward its target on the other side. Arrows lose a small amount of velocity on impact, simulating realistic energy loss from the penetration.
Supported Blocks
- All standard glass blocks
- All 16 stained glass variants
- All glass panes (regular and stained)
- Tinted glass
Features
- Realistic glass-shattering particles that match the block's color
- Shimmering dust effect on impact
- Glass break sound effect
- 15% velocity reduction per glass block penetrated
- Arrows retain all properties (damage, fire, critical) after penetration
- Arrows can penetrate through multiple glass blocks in a row
