Hello,

I was wondering if anyone here could tell me how to make a custom arrow for the vanilla bow (in 1.16.5). All i know is that i have to make the item in the item class and another class for the arrow's entity that extends the arrow entity class. but i dont know how to make them work or anything.

your arrow entity class only needs to extends the AbstractArrowEntity class

ok. how do i connect the arrow item to the arrow entity?

look how vanilla does this

oh ok

im still confused on how to do it. I looked at it and i got nothing. I dont know how to modify the damage or anything. Nor make the item into an arrow item.

okay, first of do you know java basics?

 

if you know the basics then it shouldn't be a problem for you to expand the AbstractArrowEntity class, creat a arrow item.

 

only briefly about the function of the bow, if you use it,

an entity (Arrow) is created from the ArrowItem found in the inventory,

your ArrowItem requires such a method

see the ArrowItem class to recreate the method for your Arrowtem

the most important classes are:

• AbstractArrowEntity
• ArrowItem

a class that you could also look into would be the class of the bow
