Send items to any player — via a homing arrow.

ArrowPost is a Paper 1.21+ plugin that adds a craftable Tracking Bow. Load up to 9 items into it, set a target player, and fire. The arrow warps above them and homes in — dropping the payload at their feet on impact.

1. Craft or receive a Tracking Bow
2. Sneak + Right-click → load items into the 9-slot payload GUI
3. /aptarget <player>  → lock on to a target
4. Shoot               → arrow flies, warps above target, homes in
5. Impact              → payload drops at their feet

If the arrow is blocked before reaching the target it is removed and your payload is preserved — you can shoot again without reloading.

• Craftable — 4 Ender Pearls + Bow, no permissions required
• 9-Slot Payload GUI — sneak + right-click to open; contents persist through restarts
• One payload per player — stored on the player, not the bow; multiple bows can't be used as extra storage
• Homing arrows — configurable free-flight delay, then warp teleport above the target and per-tick steering
• Cross-dimension tracking — arrow follows the target into a new world
• Payload only consumed on delivery — blocked shots leave items intact
• Cooldown system — configurable per-player shot cooldown
• Visual & sound effects — PORTAL warp burst, CRIT/ENCHANT trail, smoke + hit on impact
• bStats metrics — anonymous usage statistics via bStats
