Getting started

Arrow+ adds 18 new arrows to Minecraft, from the cheap Wood Arrow to the Netherite Arrow. Every arrow, stick and feather is a datapack entry, so you can change them or add your own.

You are viewing the fixed-recipe docs

This covers 26.1 through 26.1.2.103, 26.2.0.1 and 26.3.0.1 (NeoForge and Fabric) and 1.21.1-NeoForge, where every arrow has a fixed recipe with its own stick and feather.

From 26.3.0.2, 26.2.0.2 and 26.1.2.104, arrows are modular: any head, stick and feather can be combined. Use the version switcher at the top for the current docs. On 1.21.11 or older, see the legacy docs.

Install

1. Install Fabric with Fabric API, or NeoForge.
2. Download Arrow+ from CurseForge or Modrinth and put the jar in your mods folder.
3. Optional: add JEI or REI to see every arrow, stick and feather recipe in game, and Fletching Recipe to craft arrows at the Fletching Table for double the output.

Mod loader	Minecraft	Status
NeoForge, Fabric	26.1–26.3	Earlier builds listed above; see the current version table for modular releases
NeoForge	1.21.1	Partial

WARNING

Only the latest 26.x release is actively maintained. 1.21.1-NeoForge uses the same datapack system but is not actively maintained.

Your first arrows

Arrows are crafted from a material, a stick and a feather, stacked in one column of a Crafting Table. The cheaper arrows only need a vanilla stick and feather:

Crafting ➜ 4Copper Arrow

Stronger arrows need a custom stick, and the best two also need the Gilded Feather:

Crafting ➜ 4Iron Arrow

Crafting ➜ 2Netherite Arrow

See every arrow, its damage and its recipe on the Arrows page.

How it works

All Arrow+ arrows are one item, arrowplus:arrow_plus. What kind of arrow a stack is comes from a data component, pointing at a datapack entry:

Component	Item	Datapack entries
arrowplus:arrow_data	arrowplus:arrow_plus	arrowplus/arrows/
arrowplus:stick_data	arrowplus:custom_stick	arrowplus/sticks/
arrowplus:feather_data	arrowplus:custom_feather	arrowplus/feathers/

This means any arrow, stick or feather can be added, changed or removed with a datapack, with no Java code.

Recipe viewers

Arrow+ has built-in JEI and REI support for arrow, stick, feather and tipped arrow recipes. Hold Shift over an arrow to see its damage and other stats.
