# 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)

| 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//recipe/.json ```

Recipe format:

```json { "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`

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

```json "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 (https://modrinth.com/mod/emi) and (https://modrinth.com/mod/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+

Inspired by (https://modrinth.com/mod/bft), a datapack by (https://modrinth.com/user/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.
