WARNING

Only 26.1 is actively maintained. The 1.21.1-NeoForge branch shares the same new datapack system but is not actively maintained.

Overview

Arrow+ adds 18 new arrow types to Minecraft. In this system, arrows, sticks, and feathers are all defined via datapacks, using a single multi-purpose item (arrowplus:arrow_plus) whose behaviour is controlled by data components attached to each stack.

• The arrowplus:arrow_data component defines an arrow's type.
• The arrowplus:stick_data component defines a stick's type.
• The arrowplus:feather_data component defines a feather's type.

This means you can add, modify, or remove any arrow/stick/feather via a datapack — no Java code required.

Recipe Viewers

Arrow+ has built-in integration with JEI and REI to display all arrow, stick, and feather recipes.
