More Arrows by Skovos

Bringing Elements, Utility, and Progression to Arrows within Hytale.

!!!! BIG UPDATES 01/25/2025 !!!! + Pick up missed arrows on an extended arrow despawn delay + + Added functionality with other mods, including More Crossbow Tiers & Kurabiye's Longbows +

I have meticulously been working on all aspects of introducing these four arrows into the game. My goals were balance first and foremost, followed by visuals, including textures, icons, effects, and animations, and lastly bringing the items into various loot tables, including breakable objects, to allow players to naturally stumble across these versatile arrows.

These arrows aren't meant to be a cheat code to the endgame or one-shot mobs, but they are powerful utility items with overly satisfying visuals and sound effects. They won't drop often, and they shouldn't be cheap to make. I will push updates for balance changes as I see fit or as the community suggests.

This mod stems from my first ever mod, Iron Arrows by Skovos, so if you don't want poison, fire, and ice for whatever reason, you're more than welcome to use that one instead.

This cow was a 100% willing participant and volunteered for testing purposes!

Additional Details: All arrow types have chances of dropping from barrels, coffins, pots, and jars. Outlanders have a chance to drop any arrow type. Sand enemies can drop iron or poison. Burnt enemies can drop iron or fire. Frost/ice enemies can drop iron or ice. Arrow drops have also been added to golems. These drops are a choice and do not diminish odds for existing drops.
