About HearthArrows
From ThunderstorePull your arrows and bolts back. They stay in the world, and sometimes in a creature, until you take them.
HearthArrows
The shot stays where it landed. Walk up, take it back.
By BlackHearthx.
> Shoot, find the shaft, press Use. The same arrow or bolt drops in front of you.
Arrows and bolts that stick in the world can be pulled. A shot into a creature stays in the body about half the time, and falls to the ground when that creature dies. A small warm light marks the ones you can still take, so a night fight does not swallow them.
Client only. Nothing to install on a server.
Do not run this together with Better Archery's retrievable arrows. Both try to return the same shot.
What you get
| | | | --- | --- | | Stuck shots | Wood, stone, ground, and buildings. Look at the shaft and press Use. | | Creatures | About half of your shots stay in the body. When it dies, they drop at its feet. | | Bolts | Crossbow bolts use the same rule as arrows. | | A warm glint | Each arrow you can still pull carries a small light, easier to spot at night. | | The archery target | Still returns arrows its own way. Shots into the target are left to it. |
Spears, and arrows shot by monsters, stay as they are in the game.
Your first session
- Shoot a tree, a wall, or the ground.
- Look at the shaft.
- Press Use.
- Pick up the arrow that appears in front of you.
Then shoot a creature. If the shaft stays in it, wait until it dies: the arrow falls beside the body, still lit, still yours to take.
Controls at a glance
| Input | Action | | --- | --- | | Use | Pull a stuck arrow or bolt. The item drops in front of you. |
Compat and notes
- One return per shot. Leave the archery target to the game, and turn off another mod's arrow recovery if you use one.
- A shot into water is not kept.
- Each recoverable arrow stays for two minutes, then it is gone.
- If your inventory is full, the arrow still drops on the ground and waits.
Como usar (PT-BR)
Atire. Se a flecha ou o virote ficar preso, olhe o cabo e aperte Usar. O item cai na sua frente.
No bicho, cerca de metade fica no corpo. Quando ele morre, a flecha cai no chão ao lado, com uma luz quente para achar no escuro. O alvo de treino continua devolvendo do jeito do jogo.
Não use junto com a recuperação de flechas do Better Archery.
