Unlocking the Quiver: How to Craft the Supplementaries Quiver in Minecraft
In the vast world of Minecraft modding, few additions feel as natural as a functional quiver. While the base game has flirted with the concept over the years, the Supplementaries mod brings a beautifully designed, fully animated quiver that sits on your back and stores arrows. There is just one catch—by default, it has no crafting recipe. That is where the community steps in. The “Quivers for all” recipe pack bridges the gap, giving every survival player a clear path to crafting this stylish storage item. If you have ever wanted to keep your arrows organized without cluttering your hotbar, these two simple recipes will change your inventory management forever.
Why the Supplementaries Quiver Deserves a Recipe
Supplementaries is a beloved mod known for adding immersive, vanilla-friendly blocks and items. Its quiver is no exception. When equipped in the back slot (using the Curios API or a similar accessory system), it can hold up to 9 stacks of arrows and visually displays them. Archers can finally carry multiple arrow types—spectral, tipped, or even modded projectiles—without sacrificing precious inventory space. The quiver also integrates seamlessly with the off-hand, allowing you to draw arrows directly from it. The only problem was that you could only obtain it through creative mode or by cheating it in. The “Quivers for all” recipe add-on fixes that, giving every player a legitimate way to craft this essential tool.
The Two Crafting Recipes Explained
This lightweight data pack or mod introduces two distinct recipes, both designed to fit within the vanilla progression. You can choose whichever feels more balanced for your playstyle. Here is exactly what you need to gather for each version.
Recipe 1: The Classic Leatherworker’s Quiver
This recipe leans into the traditional leatherworker aesthetic, using materials you would expect from a medieval quiver. It is perfect for early-game players who have already set up a small animal farm.
- Top row: Leather, Leather, Leather
- Middle row: Leather, String, Leather
- Bottom row: Leather, Iron Ingot, Leather
The result is a sturdy quiver that feels earned. The iron ingot at the bottom center acts as a reinforcement piece, while the string ties the design together. This recipe respects the vanilla crafting logic and encourages you to explore the world for cows and iron.
Recipe 2: The Hunter’s Alternative
For those who prefer a slightly more rugged, field-crafted approach, the second recipe replaces some leather with rabbit hide and uses a bone needle substitute. It is ideal if you are playing in a biome where cows are scarce but rabbits are plentiful.
- Top row: Rabbit Hide, Rabbit Hide, Rabbit Hide
- Middle row: Rabbit Hide, String, Rabbit Hide
- Bottom row: Rabbit Hide, Bone, Rabbit Hide
Bone replaces the iron ingot, making this version accessible even before you have a furnace. It is a fantastic option for nomadic playthroughs or for players who want to craft a quiver while exploring desert and snowy taiga biomes. Both recipes yield the same Supplementaries quiver, so you can pick the one that matches your resource availability.
How to Install the Recipe Mod and Get Crafting
Adding these recipes to your game is straightforward, and you do not need to be a modding expert. If you are using a modded client, simply drop the data pack into your world’s datapacks folder, or install the mod version into your mods folder. The process becomes even smoother when you use a launcher designed for flexibility. For instance, many players now manage their mods through a platform that lets you browse and install add-ons directly from the menu. With the foxygame.net launcher, you can quickly locate the Supplementaries mod and its companion recipe pack, then activate them with a single click without ever digging through file directories. This kind of streamlined experience keeps your focus on the game, not on configuration files.
Making the Most of Your New Quiver
Once crafted, the quiver needs to be placed in a dedicated back slot. Most modpacks include the Curios mod or a similar accessory system that adds this slot automatically. If you do not see it, check your keybindings for the “Open Curios” menu. Drag the quiver into the back slot, and it will appear on your character model. Now, whenever you pick up arrows, they will go straight into the quiver as long as there is space. You can also shift-right-click the quiver in your inventory to open its internal storage and manually organize your arrows.
This setup shines in combat situations. You can carry normal arrows for general use, tipped arrows of harming for tough enemies, and spectral arrows to track elusive mobs—all accessible without swapping items. The quiver even works with crossbows and bows from other mods, as long as they use standard arrow types. For builders who use arrows in redstone contraptions, the quiver keeps your ammo out of the way until you need it.
Community Suggestions and Expanding Compatibility
The beauty of a simple recipe mod is how open it is to feedback. The creator welcomes suggestions for additional recipes or compatibility with quivers from other mods. Imagine crafting a quiver that works with the Archer’s Paradox mod or the Dungeons Gear set. If you have a favorite quiver from another mod that lacks a survival recipe, leaving a comment on the mod page can spark a new update. This collaborative spirit is what keeps the Minecraft modding scene alive and constantly evolving.
While the current recipes are balanced for vanilla-style play, server owners can tweak the JSON files to adjust material costs. Want a more expensive quiver for a hardcore server? Add an emerald or a phantom membrane. The flexibility is there, and the base recipes provide a solid foundation to build upon.
Final Thoughts
The “Quivers for all” recipe pack fills a small but meaningful gap in the Supplementaries experience. It turns a decorative or creative-only item into a practical survival tool that any archer can earn. Whether you prefer the leatherworker’s sturdy design or the hunter’s bone-and-hide version, you now have a clear path to crafting a quiver and organizing your arrows. Pair it with a good bow, some well-chosen enchantments, and you will be ready for any challenge the Overworld throws at you. Grab your materials, fire up your crafting table, and finally give your arrows the home they deserve.
