EDIT: This mod now requires Risugami’s ModLoader to run. Download either v4 or v5 depending on which version of ModLoader you have.
I know this isn’t really a skin per-se, but it’s really really cool!
This mod is called “Elemental Arrows” and is made by a guy called Risugami. This is an actual content mod and not just a skin, so the installation is a little trickier, but the payoff is totally worth it.
Elemental Arrows gives you 4 new kinds of arrows; explosive arrows, fire arrows, ice arrows, and of course, egg arrows… The egg arrows is just a gag weapon, so it’s not some sort of weird super weapon. They are made in the way that you’d expect, just replace the standard flint with gunpowder for explosive, coal for fire, bucket of water for ice, and egg for egg.
“Crafting an explosive arrow only gives you one arrow, and it explodes upon impact. Crafting a fire arrow gives you one arrow, that will ignite stuff upon impact. Crafting an ice arrow gives you four arrows, that will freeze water into ice, lava springs into obsidian, put out fire, and break torches. Egg arrows spawn chickens upon impact with the ground, but there’s a secret too.”
