Heart_Afire Posted December 3, 2025 Report Posted December 3, 2025 I'm moving this here just to keep it active and updated, since I really do want to finish this. This is supposed to be a mod that adds Dyed Fletching and Fletched Arrows into the game, as was discussed in the suggestions forum. I was working on it until just recently it started causing my singleplayer Creative world to crash when I tried to load it. And, to be honest, I'm a bit lost on some things. Update: Crash was fixed, but still having loads of other issues with shapes and textures. Here are the goals: 1) Create a set of items that the player can craft from feathers and dye most colors (Done, dyed fletching works) 2) Create a set of fletched arrows, with metal heads, craftable from said fletching 3) Make it so these arrows reflect said bright colors in their fletched ends when fired, for ease of location after firing. I've done a few odds and ends under the hood as well, but while I seemed to be doing alright, as mentioned, my latest build-test (posted below) just caused my game to crash. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated...and if anyone can help me figure out how to get the JSON entries to do the thing where they can just reference any color, I'd be overwhelmingly grateful, I know it's something utterly stupid that I'm overlooking. fletching-in-the-dye.zip
Nat_VS Posted December 3, 2025 Report Posted December 3, 2025 I had a quick look at your current zip file. What you're trying to do will require the use of variants. Variants are basically multiple versions of items inside a single asset file. For your purposes, you'll want to have a single 'dyedfletching.json' asset, with a 'color' variant. The states for the color variant should be the same as your barrel recipe. After that, you'll want to add a 'color' variant to your 'fletchedarrow.json' item. It may be worth taking a look at the following wiki tutorials, which deal with creating and using variants: https://wiki.vintagestory.at/Modding:Content_Tutorial_Item_Variants https://wiki.vintagestory.at/Modding:Content_Tutorial_Complex_Grid_Recipes I hope this helps to get you started and gives you an idea of the direction that you need to go in! 1
