KK’s Simple Arrows Mod for Minecraft 1.5.1/1.5.2

KK’s Simple Arrows Mod adds 6 new arrows to the game: Wooden Arrows, Stone Arrows, Iron Arrows, Golden Arrows, Diamond Arrows and Flammable Arrows. The aim of this mod is to add arrows from the original MC materials and balance them as perfectly as possible, so damage values can not be customized.

KK’s Simple Arrows Mod Features:

• 6 new arrows


• Torch-like Flammable arrow


• Customizable Key Bindings


• Multiple Languages


• 2 new Achievements


• Large config file, to change from IDs to arrow order (see the config file section)


• Optional Arrows Add-ons (coming soon!)

Important Info:

• Using the modified bow: The bow has been modified to shoot all the new arrows. You can access them by pressing ”F” (for the next available arrow) or ”C” (for the previous available arrow)[customizable, controls menu] while having the bow selected. You will see a small indicator pop-up at the end of the bow’s name. This indicator will tell you which arrow type you have selected and whether you have any available arrows of that type or not. The format works like this: {N}, means you have just pressed one of the toggle arrows buttons, and you have selected the normal arrows; [N], means you have that bow set to shoot normal arrows but you don’t have any arrows left, or you are not holding that bow right now; (N), means you have the bow selected and you are able to shoot. Additionally there is (*F*) which tells you that you have the flammable arrows selected, you have available arrows, and that you also have flint and steel in your active inventory;  making you ready to shoot lit arrows. You can rename the bow if you wish, but please do not use the following characters: ( ) { } [ ]. If the bow is named with something between brackets or parenthesis that is not an initial it will be erased. Initials:(W, F, S, N, G, I, D).


• - Retrievability System: An arrow that is retrievable has a chance to not be destroyed after hitting an entity. This chance is calculated by a random generator that outputs a number between 0-100 after hitting an entity. For the diamond arrows, for example, if the number is greater than 80 it will be destroyed, otherwise it will bounce off the entity. Also, if the arrow happened to kill the entity it was attacking it will receive an extra 10% of retrievability chances before generating the random number, giving it more possibilities to survive and it will not bounce off the entity; instead it will fly straight through it (allowing multikills). [max retrievability: 90%]


• - Double and Multi Kills: You can perform double and multi kills with any of the retrievable arrows when shooting against hostile entities or other players. If you manage to perform any of them you will get some extra experience orbs for enchantments and other goodies. A message will also pop-up in your client chat informing you that you got a double or a multi kill [the message can be customized or turned off, config file]. As a server owner you also have the ability to turn on a global message for all players to inform that someone got a double or multi kill [customizable, config file].


• - Achievements: There are two new achievements introduced with this mod. They are pretty straight forward, one for getting a double kill and another for getting a multi kill.


• - Enchantments: All normal enchantments work with the modified bow. However the ”infinity” and the”power” enchantment have been modified for the retrievable arrows. Infinity will not give you infinite arrows, instead it will raise the retrievability percentage by 5%. [max retrievability: 90%] And the power enchantment effect has been significantly reduced [about 1/2 the effect of non-retrievable arrows].


• - The Flammable Arrow: Very powerful and complex arrow. You can use it to light entities and blocks on fire, or you can shoot it into a wall and use it like a torch (be advised that when lit, they burn out relatively fast). This arrow is not that expensive to craft but you need a flint and steel equipped (in the active inventory) to light it. At the moment you press your right click it will be lit and it will provide some light to your surrounding environment, so you can see what you are shooting at; but it will also damage your flint and steel right away, so no going back. These arrows will also be lit when passing through fire and lava blocks.


• - Dispenser: All of the new arrows work with the dispenser. However, the dispenser will not shoot lit flammable arrow. To get this effect you must place your flammable arrows and flint&steel inside of the dispenser. Wait for the dispenser to light the block in front on fire and when your flammable arrows pass through it they will be lit! (or use 2 dispensers in an L shape, one with the flammable arrows and the other with the flint&steel)

Config Files:

The Config file can be found under the config folder inside your minecraft directory.(/Roaming/.minecraft/config/KKSimpleArrowsBase.cfg) Here you can change various things about the mod, and the item IDs too.

There are 6 categories inside the config file: Block IDs, Item IDs, Configuration-Client, Configuration-Client_ADV, Configuration-Server and Configuration-Server_ADV.

- Under the Block IDs and Item IDs categories you will find the default IDs to change them if you need to.

- Under the Configuration-Client category you will find render and chat messages settings:

• “Arrow Type Sneak Peek”: If true, you will get a sneak peek of a faded texture of the arrow type you just selected after pressing the next or previous arrow key. (Default: false)


• “Anounce Client Multi-Kills”: If true it will send you a chat message when you perform a double- or a mullti-kill. (Default: true)


• “Client Double-Kill Message”: Here you can change what the double-kill message will say.


• “Client Multi-Kill Message”: Here you can change what the multi-kill message will say.

- Under the Configuration-Client_ADV category you will find the order in which you toggle trough the different arrow type (from 0 to 6).

- Under the Configuration-Server category you will find server double- and multi-kill announcement messages:

• “Anounce Server Multi-Kills”: If true it will send you a chat message when you perform a double- or a mullti-kill. (Default: false)


• “Server Double-Kill Message”: Here you can change what the double-kill message will say.


• “Server Multi-Kill Message”: Here you can change what the multi-kill message will say.

- Under the Configuration-Server_ADV category you will find global render settings:

• “Render Active Bow Light”: If true; when you are charging the bow with a lit flammable arrow equipped it will light your surroundings. *Could become laggy on a large server if lots of people on a server charge lit flammable arrows at the same time and move around… (Default: true)


• “Render Active Arrow Light”: If true; lit flammable arrows will produce light when they are in-flight. *This can be stressful for some computers, specially if multiple lit flammable arrows are mid-flight. Therefore default: false. If you have a medium-good computer you should try it! (worst case scenario: some lag)[Not recommended for SMP]. (Default: false)
