Arrows Plus completely overhauls archery in Minecraft!

• There are 12 new, rare trees that can be used to create powerful bows and arrows. Works seamlessly with Biomes O' Plenty!
  

• Each bow and each arrow has its own special effect! Mix and match to see what you get!
  

• Old archery system has been thrown out. Your aim is no longer perfect and arrows can be affected by wind. Craft better bows to counter this!
  

• RPG-style woodcutting experience. You can't cut down and use a powerful tree if your level is too low.
  

• Arrows are made using iron shards (4 per iron ingot) instead of flint. Much more convenient.
  

• Full SMP/LAN support! Install to your PvP server and have a blast! (Literally, sometimes.)
  

• Open source & fully documented to assist those who want to make their own mods.
  

Things to know first
First, know that regular bows will not shoot Arrows Plus arrows, and Arrows Plus bows will not shoot regular arrows.

You should start a new world. If you play on an existing world, then it may be difficult for you to find the trees, which set the features of the mod in motion.

Starting to play
Arrows Plus adds 12 different trees which spawn rarely in different biomes.

You can only cut these trees if you have a high enough woodcutting level. You gain experience by cutting regular trees or Arrows Plus trees that you are able to cut. You get more experience for cutting Arrows Plus trees. You are notified when you can cut a new tree, but you can view your experience at any time by using the command: /ap.xp

Once you've cut down an Arrows Plus tree, head over to the crafting table and make the logs into sticks. From here, you can either make bows or arrows with them.

To make bows:
Use the exact same recipe as regular Minecraft bows, except, of course, replace regular sticks with the sticks you've gotten from the Arrows Plus tree.

To make arrows:
Arrows Plus arrows use the same "shape" recipe as regular arrows, but they use iron shards instead of flint for the arrowhead and of course Arrows Plus sticks instead of regular sticks.

To craft iron shards, simply place iron ingots into a crafting table.

After you've made your new weapons
Try them out! Be ready for the new shooting system. It is very different from regular Minecraft.

• You are automatically put into "smooth camera" mode for fine-tuning your shot. The more you shoot, the easier it will be to control the bow. Eventually, smooth camera mode will not activate once you have enough experience shooting the bows.
  

• You will no longer zoom in slightly when drawing the bow string back.
  

• Your crosshair will shake depending on how stable your bow is and how many arrows you have fired.
  

• Once you fire, your arrow could be affected by wind. You may find it difficult to hit far off targets with slow arrows. Craft faster ones!
  

• All bows and arrows have special attributes which can affect their charge-up time, speed, damage, etc.
