Explosive Arrows / TNT Arrows
A very simple fabric mod that adds explosive/TNT arrows to minecraft.
Quick answer
Which Explosive Arrows / TNT Arrows release should I use?
Explosive Arrows / TNT Arrows 1.3.1-1.21.10 targets 1.21.10 with Fabric. Do not install it on the client. It must be installed on the dedicated server. All 2 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Explosive Arrows / TNT Arrows required on the client, server, or both?
Do not install it on the client. It must be installed on the dedicated server.
This file is marked server-only.
What else does Explosive Arrows / TNT Arrows 1.3.1-1.21.10 need?
1.3.1-1.21.10. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), Fabric API first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 1 comes through another mod in the chain.
1 extra mod was pulled in by another dependency. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.
