About this Mod

The Fletching Table

Give the vanilla fletching table a proper use with a custom crafting system for arrows.

How it works

  • Right-click any fletching table to open the crafting UI
  • Place ingredients in the three input slots to craft arrows
  • Sneak + right-click bypasses the menu (for placing blocks against it)

Recipes

Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3 Result
Feather Stick Flint 6x Arrow
- 6x Arrow Glowstone Dust 6x Spectral Arrow
- 16x Arrow Potion 16x Tipped Arrow
- 32x Arrow Splash Potion 32x Tipped Arrow
- 64x Arrow Lingering Potion 64x Tipped Arrow

Tipped arrows inherit the potion effect from the input potion, including modded potions.

Adding custom recipes

Datapacks

Any datapack or mod can add fletching table recipes by placing a JSON file in:

data/<your_namespace>/recipe/<recipe_name>.json

Recipe format:

{
    "type": "the_fletching_table:fletching",
    "first": {
        "item": "minecraft:feather"
    },
    "second": {
        "item": "minecraft:stick"
    },
    "third": {
        "item": "minecraft:flint"
    },
    "result": {
        "id": "minecraft:arrow",
        "count": 6
    }
}
  • first, second, third are standard ingredient fields - use "item" for a specific item or "tag" for a tag
  • first is optional - omit it for a two-ingredient recipe (the first slot must be empty to match)
  • Each ingredient supports an optional *_count field (e.g. "second_count": 6) - defaults to 1
  • result uses the standard item format with id and count

Tags

The built-in arrow recipe uses common tags for broader mod compatibility:

"first": { "tag": "c:feathers" },
"second": { "tag": "c:rods/wooden" }

Any mod that adds items to these tags will automatically work as arrow ingredients.

Compatibility

  • Supports EMI and JEI for recipe browsing
  • Tipped arrow crafting works with any modded potion effects
  • Recipe system is fully extensible via datapacks
  • Requires NeoForge 21.1.219+

Credits

Inspired by Better Fletching Table, a datapack by ElGeroIngles that gives the fletching table crafting functionality using invisible minecarts as containers. This mod is a clean reimplementation as a NeoForge mod with a native crafting UI and recipe system.
