Fletchery Expanded

🏹 Fletchery Expanded 2.0.0

Minecraft 1.21.1 | NeoForge

Turn the fletching table into a full arrow workshop.

Fletchery Expanded introduces a component-based arrow crafting system that lets you customize your ammunition. Combine feathers, shafts, tips, effects, and potions to create arrows with unique mechanics, appearances, and purposes.

Every combination has its own visual design, visible in your inventory, in your hand, when drawn in a bow, loaded into a crossbow, and in flight.

⚙️ Arrow Components

The mod features 5 feathers, 8 shafts, 25 tips, 43 effect components, all dye colors, and 20 potion types.

🪶 Feathers — 5

Feathers influence arrow speed, gravity, and flight behavior.

• Feather — Standard flight characteristics.
• Leather — When fired from a crossbow, can increase speed, reduce gravity, and grant piercing.
• Phantom Membrane — Greatly increases arrow speed.
• Wheat — Slows the arrow and increases gravity, making it fall faster.
• Cobweb — Reduces speed and gravity, allowing the arrow to glide for longer.

🪵 Shafts — 8

Shafts introduce additional mechanics and change how your arrows interact with entities and the environment.

• Stick — Standard shaft with no additional effects.
• Blaze Rod — Ignites hit targets and interacts with fire-related mechanics, including TNT.
• Breeze Rod — Makes the arrow phase, shrink, and accelerate before releasing Breeze-like wind charges.
• Bone — Increases damage and applies Hunger to hit targets.
• End Rod — Increases arrow speed and can launch a delayed phantom copy along the same trajectory.
• Fishing Rod — Pulls hit targets toward the shooter.
• Chain — Connects nearby entities around the impact point, binding them together.
• Bamboo — Can preserve velocity, pierce multiple targets with diminishing damage, return after a successful sequence of hits, and grow bamboo under suitable conditions.

🎯 Tips — 25

Tips determine the arrow's primary combat properties, from armor penetration to crowd control and unusual utility.

• Flint — Standard tip without additional effects.

• Nether Brick — Strengthens brick-tip mechanics and can create a heated temporary support that burns entities before cooling down.
• Snowball — Creates a harmless projectile that deals no damage but can knock back and freeze targets. Harmful component effects are suppressed.

• Gold Nugget — Produces smaller, faster arrows and provides a reduced version of the gold tip's reserved-damage mechanic.
