About this Mod
Arrow & Slots
A lightweight Minecraft archery helper that lets you focus on aiming, not inventory management.
Description
When you draw a bow, Arrow & Slots automatically picks the arrow from the hotbar slot directly above the bow. No more swapping items mid-fight—your ammunition always matches the weapon you are holding.
- Works on dedicated servers (the logic runs server-side).
- Works in single-player because the integrated server handles it.
- Also available as a Paper plugin for Bukkit-based servers.

Supported Versions
| Platform | Supported MC versions | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric | 1.21.1 – 26.1.2 | Built against 1.21.1; metadata declares >=1.21.1 |
| NeoForge | 1.21.1 – 26.1.2 | NeoForge 21.1+ through 26.1+ |
| Paper | 1.21.1 – 26.1.2 | api-version: '1.21' |
The jar is compiled against MC 1.21.1 with official Mojang mappings.
All injected code is wrapped in try-catch with require = 0 on Mixin targets
so it degrades gracefully instead of crashing if an API changes between versions.
If you hit issues on a newer MC version, rebuild the mod against that version's
toolchain — the Mixin target (Player#getProjectile) and class names are
stable across all supported versions under official mappings.
Requirements
- Java 21 or newer
- Gradle 8.11+ (wrapper included)
