[1.8.9] Shoot Custom Arrow with Vanilla Bow

[Furgl]

I have a custom arrow that I would like to be able to shoot with a vanilla bow. Is this possible in MC versions before 1.9? (bow in 1.8.9 checks for Items.arrow, 1.9+ checks instanceof ItemArrow)

 

I've searched online for a while for an answer, but haven't found one. Please forgive me if there is an answer out there somewhere, seeing as this seems like a simple question that has probably been answered before.

Have your ItemArrow extend ItemArrow and override createArrow(...) in here you create a EntityArrow aka your arrow will need to extend EntityArrow.

Note: This is for 1.10.2.

 

*Edit This is not possible in 1.8.9 and  below aas far as I am aware of.
