| 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 ammo types in a quiver and pick which the bow/crossbow uses | Fletcher's quiver |

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, dropped, or shown on the back while equipped. |
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, right-click it in inventory to equip, then drag arrows or crossbow bolts 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 right-click it in your inventory to equip or unequip. It does not use the cape/cloak slot. While equipped it unlocks the eight fletcher slots and shows a cosmetic quiver on your back. You can carry multiple quivers; only one can be equipped at a time (contents stay on each quiver).
| | |
|--|--|
| Recipe | Forge level 1 — Deer hide ×4, Bronze ×2, Fine wood ×4 |
| Equip | Right-click the quiver in the backpack (toggle) |
| Slots | 8, stored on the quiver item (they travel with that quiver) |
| Accepts | Vanilla arrows, crossbow bolts, shafts, arrowheads, and the Fletcher's knife |
Loading the slots
With the quiver equipped, open your inventory. The eight quiver slots sit under the backpack. Drag arrows (or other accepted items) in and out like any other inventory. Ctrl-click a quiver slot to send that stack straight to the backpack.
Choosing ammo
The bow or crossbow shoots from the selected quiver slot.
- If that slot has matching ammo (arrows for bows, bolts for crossbows), those are used.
- If it is empty or the wrong ammo type, the next matching quiver slot is used (and becomes selected).
- If no quiver slot matches, the weapon uses ammo from your normal inventory as usual.
- Melee weapons and staffs do not use quiver ammo.
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 |
| Unload a HUD slot | Hold ~, then right-click (or Shift/Ctrl-click) to dump that stack into the backpack |

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
