📋 About This Mod
INTRODUCTION
This mod adds arrowheads which can be crafted and used to assemble arrows away from a forge. No need to set out with hundreds of arrows in you backpack - just take a few bundles - you can make more after a battle if needed.
And if you think that does not sound fun enough maybe you will find piercing and silver arrowheads or silver bolts a useful addition to your arsenal.
Other than the REQUIREMENTS you don't need to read any further before using this mod. This mod is simple enough to work naturally and intuitively as if it were part of the vanilla game. If you want to change some aspects of the mod please consult the CONFIGURATION section.
Also this mod could probably use some new models for the new piercing projectiles so if you are interested and can model or know of anyone who can please drop me a message!
