Ore damage tiers (8 arrows + material → 8)
Stone (cobblestone) → Flint → Copper ingot → Iron ingot → Gold ingot → Diamond → Netherite ingot, each hitting harder than the last.
Fish tiers (8 arrows + fish → 8)
Cod → Salmon → Pufferfish. These fly through water with no slowdown.
Mining tiers (8 arrows + the matching pickaxe → 8)
Excavate an N×N×N cube and respect that pickaxe's harvest level (won't break ores it's too weak for — those are left floating). Heavier tiers also cost more bow durability per shot.
| Tier | Cube | Harvests up to | Extra bow wear |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wooden | 1³ | wood level | +0 |
| Stone | 2³ | stone level | +1 |
| Copper | 3³ | copper level | +2 |
| Iron | 4³ | iron level | +3 |
| Gold | 5³ | iron level (bumped to match cost) | +4 |
| Diamond | 7³ | diamond level | +6 |
| Netherite | 11³ | all harvestable blocks | +10 |
Fletching Table
Right-click a vanilla fletching table to open an arrow upgrade station. Every arrow shares one recipe: 8 arrows + 1 modifier. Crafted at a regular crafting table that yields 8; crafted at the fletching table it yields 16 for the same modifier cost (1), making the table the efficient parallel path. A plain minecraft:arrow craft now yields 8, so one batch feeds one upgrade.
Recipes unlock (with a toast) once you hold both a plain arrow and that arrow's modifier. JEI integration shows the Fletching Table category and its recipes (display populates in singleplayer this MC version; the table itself works in multiplayer).
