ArrowCrafting

If you like having more combat choices and better progression, also try out DaggerCrafting.

ArrowCrafting is a Fabric mod that adds new types of arrows based on the vanilla tool materials. The goal was to make Ranged gameplay more interesting by adding a new layer of progression, just like other item types have. Arrows are crafted from arrow heads, arrow shafts and arrow fletchings. Vanilla arrows can not be crafted with this mod, but can still be dropped or found in the world.
