Changes

Changes

  • Expanded Quiver Capacity: The quiver now holds up to 128 arrows, doubling the previous limit

  • Storage-Only Quiver: The quiver has been redesigned to function purely as an arrow storage container. It no longer automatically feeds arrows to your bow this change was made to give you more control over your ammunition

  • Baubles Integration: The quiver can now be equipped in the body slot, keeping your inventory organized and your arrows always within reach

  • BackTools Integration: The quiver now renders properly on your back when using BackTools, with correct positioning that respects armor and sneaking animations

  • CraftTweaker Support: Full integration with CraftTweaker allows modpack creators to customize bow and arrow stats through scripts

Bugfixes

  • Quiver Not Rendering on Back The quiver would sometimes fail to appear on the player's back. This has been fixed by improving the layer rendering logic and ensuring proper detection of quiver items in both regular inventory and Baubles slots

  • Player Texture Glitch with Quiver When the quiver was rendered on the back, the player's own texture would sometimes bleed through or overlap incorrectly. The rendering pipeline has been adjusted to properly isolate the quiver model from the player model

  • Missing Arrow Texture During Bow Animation The bow's drawing animation was missing the arrow texture, making it look incomplete. The animation now correctly displays the arrow being nocked and drawn

  • Infinite Arrow Exploit A bug allowed players to extract arrows from the quiver without properly reducing the stored count. The extraction logic has been rewritten to ensure accurate count tracking

  • Arrow Type Not Preserved The quiver was not correctly saving which type of arrow was stored inside. Arrow type is now properly saved to NBT data and restored when loading

Technical Changes

  • EntityCustomArrow Base Class: Created a new abstract base class for all custom arrows. This eliminates code duplication across the seven arrow types and makes the codebase significantly easier to maintain and extend

  • Code Cleanup: Removed redundant code throughout the arrow entities, particularly in the onUpdate() and onHit() methods. This improves performance and makes future optimizations simpler

  • Improved NBT Handling: The quiver's arrow storage system now uses more robust NBT serialization, ensuring data integrity across world saves and loads

  • Modular Compatibility System: Compatibility with optional mods (Baubles, BackTools, CraftTweaker) is now handled through dedicated compat classes, making it easier to add support for additional mods in the future

If you find any errors, please report them so I can continue to improve the mod
