About this Mod

Arrow Switcher lets you cycle through all your arrow types with a single keybind. A clean HUD overlay shows your previous, current, and next arrow, so you always know what you're about to shoot.

How to use:

Have multiple arrow types in your inventory
Hold a bow or crossbow (or don't, works either way lol)
Press V / B to cycle (can be changed in Key Binds menu of minecraft)
The HUD pops up showing your selection, and the mod swaps the arrow to the front of your inventory
Shoot! Minecraft uses whichever arrow is in the lowest slot

Configuration

Access via Mod Menu → Arrow Switcher → Config or edit config/arrow-switcher.json directly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Arrow Switcher server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Arrow Switcher compatible with fabric?

Arrow Switcher officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Arrow Switcher – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Arrow Switcher consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
