Arrow Pickup

A small Hytale mod that lets you recover arrows instead of losing them forever.

What it does

When an arrow is fired and does not hit a mob, it will:

• Fly normally
• Land in the world
• Turn into a pickupable arrow item
• Stay there with no time limit

No more sprinting after arrows before they vanish.

Why this exists

I originally wanted arrows to stay persistent in the world after landing.
I haven’t found a clean or official way to do that with the current API, so this mod is a workaround that fixes the real issue: arrows disappearing too fast.

It’s not perfect, but it’s reliable and solves the problem in practice.

Current behavior

• Only applies to arrows that don’t hit mobs
• Uses the arrow’s actual model to resolve the correct item ID
  (for example Weapon_Arrow_Crude)
• Drops the arrow at the final landing position, not at the player
• No pickup time limit

Limitations

• Arrows are not truly persistent entities
• This is a workaround, not a perfect solution
• API limitations may change in future Hytale versions

If a proper persistent-projectile solution becomes possible, this mod will be updated to use it.

Installation

1. Download the latest release
2. Drop the .jar file into your Mods folder
3. Start the game

Notes

This is my first Java mod for Hytale.
If you run into bugs or weird behavior, that’s on me, and I’ll keep improving it.
