Ore damage tiers (crafted like a vanilla arrow: material / stick / feather → 4)
Stone → Flint → Copper → Iron → Gold → Diamond → Netherite, each hitting harder than the last.
Fish tiers (material / stick / feather → 4)
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 |
