Archery Revamped

Ricochet (I–V)

Make your arrows bounce off solid blocks!

• Each level allows one additional bounce.

• Velocity loss can be changed in the configuration.

Overdraw (I/II)

Charge your bow beyond its normal draw limit for a more powerful shot!

• Continue charging after the bow reaches full draw.

• Damage increases while overcharging.

• Excessive overcharging can:

  • Damage the player.
  • Damage the bow.
  • Automatically fire the shot.

• Damage, durability loss, and auto-fire behaviour can be configured.

Longshot (I)

Deal more damage when firing from a distance.

Damage increases based on how far the arrow has travelled:

• 16 blocks: 1.5× damage
• 32 blocks: 2× damage
• 48 blocks: 2.5× damage
• 64+ blocks: 3× damage

These values can be changed for balancing.

Fracture (I/II)

Enchant is disabled by default.

Burst (I–III)

Fire multiple arrows in rapid succession!

Quiver

Carry your arrows without filling your entire inventory!

• Stores up to 9 complete stacks of arrows.
• The selected arrow type takes priority over normal inventory arrows.
• Uses Bundle-style storage and retrieval.
• Stored arrow stacks are organised clockwise.

Storage

The Quiver works similarly to a Bundle:

• Hold an arrow stack on your cursor and click the Quiver to store it.
• Arrow stacks are stored in the next available slot clockwise.
• Hold the Quiver on your cursor and right-click an empty inventory slot to retrieve its next stored stack.

Arrow Selection

Use the radial selector to choose which stored arrow type is active:

• V opens the selector.
• Q / E cycle through stored arrow types.
• V confirms your selection.

Arrow Physics

Change how arrows behave in flight!

• Change arrow gravity.
• Change arrow drag.
• Change overall projectile speed.
• Change firing randomness/spread.
• Change maximum falling speed / terminal velocity.
• Change how long arrows remain active.
• Change Ricochet velocity loss.

Default settings remain close to vanilla Minecraft.

Shockwave & Impulse

Both force-based arrows use:

• Configurable effect radius.
• Configurable strength.
• Distance-based force falloff.
• Stronger force against players.
• A short random 2–5 tick impact delay.

Custom Fletching Table

The vanilla Fletching Table finally has a proper use!

Using a Fletching Table opens Archery Revamped's custom crafting interface.

• Uses two input slots.
• Place arrows in the first slot.
• Place a recognised modifier in the second slot.
• The result is shown as a virtual preview.
• Nothing is consumed until the output is clicked.
• Closing the GUI returns the real input stacks.
• The preview cannot be duplicated.
• Supports optional modded ArrowItem inputs.
• The GUI texture can be customised.

Special Arrow Recipes

Tipped Arrows

Tipped Arrows can also be created using the Fletching Table.
