Old Apple to Arrow Recipe – Datapack Edition

This is the datapack version of my Old Apple to Arrow Recipe mod, made for players who want the recipe as a datapack instead of installing the mod.

Recipe

🍎 1 Apple → 1 Arrow 🏹

The recipe is shapeless, so you can place the Apple anywhere in the crafting grid.

Why a Datapack Version?

I originally released this recipe as a mod. This version is for players who:

• Prefer datapacks over mods

• Don't want to install a mod loader

• Want the same simple recipe in a vanilla world

• Want an easy datapack to add to an existing world

Features

• 1 Apple crafts 1 Arrow

• Shapeless crafting recipe

• No mod loader required

• Lightweight

• Versions available from Minecraft 1.13 through 26.3

Just download the file for your Minecraft version and place it in your world's datapacks folder.

This is the datapack edition of my existing mod. If you prefer using mods, you can continue using the original mod version.

Note

On Modrinth, the datapack and mod versions are combined into the same project, so you can choose whichever version you prefer from the project files.

On CurseForge and Planet Minecraft, the datapack and mod versions are listed as separate projects because those platforms do not allow me to combine the mod and datapack versions into a single project.

They are still versions of the same project—the separate listings are only due to the platform requirements.
