Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.18.2 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.18.2 · Quilt
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.

# 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.
Example arrow part:
```
{
"part": "TAIL",
"item": "minecraft:torch",
"attributes": {
"damage": 0.0,
"speed": 0.0,
"accuracy": 0.0
}
}
```
