Custom models

This release adds custom 3D models:

Model	In game
Arrowhead bag	Dropped arrowheads appear as a leather pouch, not a crate.
Fletcher's dagger	The Fletcher's knife uses this dagger mesh when held or dropped.
Quiver	The Fletcher's quiver uses this model when held, dropped, or shown on the back while equipped.

---

Quick start

1. Install BepInEx and Jötunn.
2. Install Fletchers Forge into BepInEx/plugins/Hardwire99-FletchersForge/.
3. Craft a Fletcher's knife at the Forge (level 1).
4. Hold the knife in your hand — the Fletcher's bench opens automatically.

6. Craft a Fletcher's quiver, right-click it in inventory to equip, then drag arrows or crossbow bolts into its eight slots.

Fletcher's knife

Recipe	Forge level 1 — Fine wood ×1, Copper ×1, Leather scraps ×1
Look	Custom dagger model
Role	Opens the field bench; used for reforge / split
Combat	No damage; does not wear out from normal use
Bench	Auto-opens when the knife is in your hand; stays open while equipped

Fletcher's quiver

Craft a Fletcher's quiver and right-click it in your inventory to equip or unequip. It does not use the cape/cloak slot. While equipped it unlocks the eight fletcher slots and shows a cosmetic quiver on your back. You can carry multiple quivers; only one can be equipped at a time (contents stay on each quiver).

Recipe	Forge level 1 — Deer hide ×4, Bronze ×2, Fine wood ×4
Equip	Right-click the quiver in the backpack (toggle)
Slots	8, stored on the quiver item (they travel with that quiver)
Accepts	Vanilla arrows, crossbow bolts, shafts, arrowheads, and the Fletcher's knife

Loading the slots

With the quiver equipped, open your inventory. The eight quiver slots sit under the backpack. Drag arrows (or other accepted items) in and out like any other inventory. Ctrl-click a quiver slot to send that stack straight to the backpack.

Choosing ammo

The bow or crossbow shoots from the selected quiver slot.

• If that slot has matching ammo (arrows for bows, bolts for crossbows), those are used.
• If it is empty or the wrong ammo type, the weapon uses ammo from your normal inventory as usual.

While inventory is closed, the quiver shows as a HUD bar under the hotbar.

How	Default
Hold [+1 … [+8	Hold [ and press 1–8
Click a HUD slot	Hold ~ (the key left of 1) to free the mouse, then click
Unload a HUD slot	Hold ~, then right-click (or Shift/Ctrl-click) to dump that stack into the backpack

Selecting a slot that holds the Fletcher's knife equips the knife.

Moving the HUD bar

The closed-inventory quiver bar can be moved.

1. Hold ~ to free the mouse.
2. Drag the left grip (the small handle on the left of the bar) to a new spot. The position is saved.
3. Right-click that grip (still holding ~) to put the bar back in the default place.

Moving the inventory row

While inventory is open, the quiver row starts under the backpack. Drag the left grip to move it (clicking a slot still moves items). That spot is saved until you drag it again. Right-click the grip to put it back under the backpack.

General	Enabled	true	Turn the entire mod off without uninstalling.
Controls	Reforge	None	Reforge hotkey while the bench is open (None = button only).
Controls	Split	None	Split hotkey while the bench is open (None = button only).
Quiver	CursorKey	BackQuote (~)	Hold to free the mouse: click HUD slots and drag the bar.
Quiver	SelectModifier	LeftBracket ([)	Hold with a slot key to choose ammo. None disables keyboard select (click still works).
