Message Arrows

Message Arrows puts nametags on renamed arrows and tridents.

GIF example of how Message Arrows works

Additional informations :

The nametag appears all the time when the arrow/trident is on the screen, not just when the player is looking at the arrow/trident (like with player nametags).
Message Arrows renames arrows shot by dispensers too.
Message Arrows affects all types of arrows and tridents, but not fireworks. I didn't deem it necessary since fireworks explode after a few seconds. It doesn't work with snowballs, eggs, enderpearls, or any other projectile either.
Message Arrows only puts a nametag on arrows/tridents with a custom_name component, and ignores the item_name component.
Message Arrows works with colored names.

Frequently Asked Questions

Message Arrows server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong datapack 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 (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Message Arrows officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.21, 1.20.6. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Message Arrows – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Message Arrows 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.
