Ore damage tiers (8 arrows + material → 8)

Stone (cobblestone) → Flint → Copper ingot → Iron ingot → Gold ingot → Diamond → Netherite ingot, each hitting harder than the last.

Fish tiers (8 arrows + fish → 8)

Cod → Salmon → Pufferfish. These fly through water with no slowdown.

Mining tiers (8 arrows + the matching pickaxe → 8)

Excavate an N×N×N cube and respect that pickaxe's harvest level (won't break ores it's too weak for — those are left floating). Heavier tiers also cost more bow durability per shot.

Tier Cube Harvests up to Extra bow wear Wooden 1³ wood level +0 Stone 2³ stone level +1 Copper 3³ copper level +2 Iron 4³ iron level +3 Gold 5³ iron level (bumped to match cost) +4 Diamond 7³ diamond level +6 Netherite 11³ all harvestable blocks +10

Fletching Table

Right-click a vanilla fletching table to open an arrow upgrade station. Every arrow shares one recipe: 8 arrows + 1 modifier. Crafted at a regular crafting table that yields 8; crafted at the fletching table it yields 16 for the same modifier cost (1), making the table the efficient parallel path. A plain minecraft:arrow craft now yields 8, so one batch feeds one upgrade.

Recipes unlock (with a toast) once you hold both a plain arrow and that arrow's modifier. JEI integration shows the Fletching Table category and its recipes (display populates in singleplayer this MC version; the table itself works in multiplayer).
