Description
The fletching table is a small job site block associated with the fletcher villager profession. It looks like a simple workbench where arrows and bows might be repaired and crafted and it gives the villager a place to work and to offer trades related to archery items. In gameplay the block is used to change a villager into a fletcher if they can access it and it will allow players to set up trading hubs specializing in archery supplies. The table is mainly decorative for players who want to build a working village or who want villagers to take on the fletcher profession for trading. It does not itself craft arrows in standard gameplay but it symbolises the job and gives the villager tasks that lead to specific trades. Building multiple fletching tables in a village supports more fletchers and thus more trading options for arrow related goods and enchanted bows.
