Sagittary (Or Fletcher's Workshop)
Sagittary expands Minecraft archery with a modular arrow system built around the fletching table. (Still in beta, I'm not good at textures sorry guys)
Instead of crafting only one standard arrow, you can combine different parts to create arrows with different flight profiles, utility, and combat effects. Tips, shafts, and fletchings each matter, and their properties stack together.
What's New in 2.0
Version 2.0 is a major expansion:
- 10 arrow tips (up from 3) with new effects like bouncing, piercing, teleportation, and sonic booms
- 5 arrow shafts (up from 3) including homing breeze rod and smite-dealing bone
- Quiver - stores 256 arrows, auto-feeds to bows, scroll to select arrow type
- Iron Bow & Iron Crossbow - craftable upgraded weapons with increased durability
- Compound Bow - shoots 3 arrows in a spread (found in Trial Chambers)
- Repeater Crossbow - rapid-fire magazine crossbow (found in Ancient Cities)
- JEI Integration - browse all component effects and recipes
Note: Version 2.0 is currently only available for Minecraft 26.1.2. For 1.21.1, use version 1.x.
Features
- Turns the fletching table into a functional arrow assembly station
- Lets you combine a tip, shaft, and fletching into a custom arrow
- Produces 6 arrows per craft
- Works with bows, crossbows, and dispensers
- Supports stacked behaviors from multiple arrow parts
- Quiver system for arrow storage and quick-switching
- New bows and crossbows with unique behaviors
- Available on Fabric and NeoForge
How It Works
Each arrow is built from three components:
- Tip: controls damage and special hit effects
- Shaft: controls flight behavior and secondary traits
- Fletching: controls handling, glide, or recovery behavior
The current system is designed so component effects work together instead of replacing each other.
Examples:
- A copper blaze arrow can both ignite targets and roll for lightning
- A diamond breeze arrow homes in on enemies and pierces through multiple targets
- A slime arrow bounces off surfaces instead of sticking
- An ender pearl arrow teleports you or your target on impact

Why This Mod
Vanilla gives you one arrow and one decorative workstation.
Sagittary makes the fletching table matter and turns arrows into something you can actually build around. It is meant to make ranged combat feel more tactile, more experimental, and more expressive without turning the system into a giant tech tree.
