What this mod does
| You can… | Where |
|---|---|
| Craft arrow shafts and heads (batches of 20) | Workbench / Forge / Black forge |
| Split arrows into shaft + head | Field — Fletcher's bench |
| Reforge shaft + head into arrows | Field — Fletcher's bench |
| Rehead arrows (swap head type) | Field — Fletcher's bench |
| Keep several arrow types in a quiver and pick which the bow uses | Fletcher's quiver |
| Carry finished ammo as normal vanilla arrows | Inventory / bow |
There is no material salvage beyond shafts and heads (no wood/ore back from splitting).
Custom models
This release adds custom 3D models:
| Model | In game |
|---|---|
| Arrowhead bag | Dropped arrowheads appear as a leather pouch, not a crate. |
| Fletcher's dagger | The Fletcher's knife uses this dagger mesh when held or dropped. |
| Quiver | The Fletcher's quiver uses this model when held or dropped. |
Quick start
- Install BepInEx and Jötunn.
- Install Fletchers Forge into
BepInEx/plugins/Hardwire99-FletchersForge/. - Craft a Fletcher's knife at the Forge (level 1).
- Hold the knife in your hand — the Fletcher's bench opens automatically.
- Use Reforge or Split. Results go directly into your inventory.
- Craft a Fletcher's quiver, keep it in your inventory, and drag arrows into its eight slots.
Fletcher's knife
| Recipe | Forge level 1 — Fine wood ×1, Copper ×1, Leather scraps ×1 |
| Look | Custom dagger model |
| Role | Opens the field bench; used for reforge / split |
| Combat | No damage; does not wear out from normal use |
| Bench | Auto-opens when the knife is in your hand; stays open while equipped |
Fletcher's quiver
Craft a Fletcher's quiver and keep it in your inventory. It is not worn; having it on you is enough.
| Recipe | Forge level 1 — Deer hide ×4, Bronze ×2, Fine wood ×4 |
| Slots | 8, stored on the quiver item (they travel with that quiver) |
| Accepts | Vanilla arrows, shafts, arrowheads, and the Fletcher's knife |
Loading the slots
Open your inventory. The eight quiver slots sit under the backpack. Drag arrows (or other accepted items) in and out like any other inventory.
Choosing ammo
The bow shoots from the selected quiver slot.
- If that slot has arrows, those are used.
- If it is empty or not arrows, the bow uses ammo from your normal inventory as usual.
While inventory is closed, the quiver shows as a HUD bar under the hotbar.
| How | Default |
|---|---|
| Hold [+1 … [+8 | Hold [ and press 1–8 |
| Click a HUD slot | Hold ~ (the key left of 1) to free the mouse, then click |
Selecting a slot that holds the Fletcher's knife equips the knife.
Moving the HUD bar
The closed-inventory quiver bar can be moved.
- Hold ~ to free the mouse.
- Drag the left grip (the small handle on the left of the bar) to a new spot. The position is saved.
- Right-click that grip (still holding ~) to put the bar back in the default place.

CHANGELOG
Changelog
0.2.8
- Fixed: Weight of the quiver and its contents now counts toward total carry weight when the quiver is unequipped but still in inventory.
- Added: Quiver can hold crossbow bolts (bone, iron, black metal, carapace, charred) and use them when that slot is selected.
- Added: Quiver appears on your back when equipped and is removed when unequipped (visual enhancement; does not use the cape slot). Toggle with
QuiverBack.ShowOnBack.
0.2.7
- Fixed: Initial quiver creation bug. Quiver slots did not work when first created and needed a game restart. Fixed by requiring the quiver to be equipped (right-click / RMB in inventory) before the quiver inventory space opens.
- Equip: Right-click the quiver in the backpack to equip or unequip (does not use the cape/cloak slot). You can carry multiple quivers if desired; only one can be equipped at a time. Contents stay on each quiver item.
- Slots: HUD and inventory quiver row only appear while a quiver is equipped.
0.2.6
- Quiver row - while inventory is open, drag the left grip to move the eight slots (clicking a slot still moves items). Right-click the grip to reset.
- Fletcher's knife - unequipping the knife closes the bench; inventory stays open.
- Fletcher's bench - compact panel at normal slot, button, and text size, with Reforge and Split at the bottom. Chest extras (weight tab, Reclaim all) stay hidden on the bench.
- Docs - in-game screenshots of the arrowhead bag, knife, quiver, HUD, and bench.
0.2.5
- Quiver unload - stacks can be dragged back out of the quiver into the backpack. Vanilla was cancelling any drag that did not start in the backpack unless a chest was open.
- HUD dump - with inventory closed, hold
~and right-click (or Shift/Ctrl-click) a quiver slot to send that stack to your inventory. Open-inventory Ctrl-click does the same.
0.2.4
- Quiver and knife - fixed issues with the Fletcher's knife and quiver.
0.2.0
- Custom models - arrowhead bag world drops, Fletcher's dagger mesh on the knife, and a craftable quiver.
- Quiver - eight slots stored on the quiver item, HUD when inventory is closed, backpack row when it is open, configurable keys.
- Docs - README rewritten for 0.2.0 (finished features only).
0.1.33
- Fix live-world load crash - defer shaft/knife icon mesh rigs until world load; skip ZNetView registration while building temporary icon rigs (fixes
NullReferenceExceptioninZDOMan.CreateNewZDOduring Fejd startup). - Store package - no longer ships
Icons/PNGs to players (gallery images load from GitHub; in-game art is embedded in the DLL).
0.1.32
- Fletcher's knife fix - no durability loss or combat damage; bench stays open while the knife remains equipped.
- Store README - GitHub and Team Extreme Discord links; gallery images load from the GitHub repo.
- Release package - includes
Icons/gallery assets and listingicon.pngfor Thunderstore and Hexium.
