Deal with Unpredictable Arrow Effects in Combat

Understand Arrow Behavior

When the mod is active, arrows fired from bows have a chance to apply random potion effects to their targets. These effects are temporary and revert when you pick up the arrow again, returning it to a normal state.

Strategies for Combat

Expect the unexpected: Random potion effects can be beneficial or harmful. You might accidentally heal an enemy or apply weakness to yourself. Assume any arrow could carry an effect.

Use melee when precision matters: For critical fights where you need predictable damage, switch to swords or axes to avoid random potion interference.

Collect arrows carefully: After combat, gather your arrows—they'll lose any applied effects and become normal projectiles again.

Disable if Needed

If random arrow effects disrupt your gameplay or server balance, disable this specific feature in the mod config without affecting other April Fools mechanics. This lets you keep the fun while maintaining combat reliability.
