# 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 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+
