Take, for example, skeleton archers or creepers. The first ones attack the player from a distance, not letting them get close to them, and the last one, the most famous mob in the game, explodes when approaching the player. To prevent this, you need to kill him from a distance. But how to make a bow in Minecraft, and what is it crafted from? Let's find out!

This is a really good weapon that is able to resist most mobs in the game. Using a bow in the game is simple, just hold down RMB and do not release the key until the shot is fired. The more the arrow is pulled, the more penetrating power it will have. Basically, mobs die from 1 - 2 arrows. To defeat the boss you need about 20 arrows.

The bow is very effective against:

• mobs that attack from the air;
• skeletons;
• spiders;
• creepers.

How to craft a bow in Minecraft?

Before you start creating a bow, you first need to acquire all the necessary ingredients. Any item in Minecraft consists of several others that are combined on a workbench. To create a bow, you need to have 3 sticks and 3 strings. Threads can be obtained by killing a spider or simply collecting threads from spiders that died in the mine, but to do this you need to go down into it. The feathers come from killed chickens. Sometimes bows and arrows can be obtained without crafting: simply picked up from a dead skeleton. But you still have to resort to creation, because nothing lasts forever in the game.

The bow is practically created, but you need to shoot something with it, otherwise what is the use of it? If our weapons are ready, now we need to deal with the arrows. Arrows are created not individually, but in blocks of 4 pieces. So, to get such a block, you need to find flint, feather and sticks.

Experienced players know that all these materials are not cheap, and they are very difficult to get, so after use, in order to save money, it is better to select arrows. In 80% of cases, the arrows do not break, and you can walk around the battlefield after the battle, looking for any remaining ammunition.

At this stage, you have learned how to make a bow and arrows for it, now you need to practice shooting. The bow can be made more powerful, add a shock wave to it, or make fire arrows. All this is achieved by enchanting weapons. The game has a level and upon reaching a certain level you will be able to enchant weapons. The higher your level, the stronger the spell will work. For example, strength gives more damage to a bow, shock wave - throws the target back when hit, fire or ignition - sets the enemy on fire and endless arrows, which are not spent, but require 1 arrow. Weapons can also be repaired, this is done in the following way: two worn-out bows are placed on the anvil, and the output is one completely repaired.

Archery

As mentioned earlier, archery is simple. It is worth remembering that by pulling the bowstring tighter, you waste time, and in battle conditions there is very little of it. There is gravity in the game, this also needs to be taken into account, because the arrow will fly along its own trajectory and will only decrease with distance. When aiming, try to aim a little lower than the enemy's head and then there is a high chance that you will hit the target. Over time, you will learn to determine the right trajectory, because this comes with experience. However, if possible, it is better to spend precious seconds and shoot with all your might so that the enemy is crushed with one hit.

Getting things with a bow

The bow is one of the components of such an item as a dispenser. Most things in the game can produce some items, and the bow is no exception. If you combine a bow and seven cobblestone blocks, as well as redstone, the result will be quite a useful thing. We advise you to learn how to craft things, because this skill will diversify the game and bring more emotions and pleasure. But now you know exactly how to create a bow in Minecraft!

Remember that in the world of the game everything is done simply, only sometimes you need to understand how this or that thing is created.

A bow can help in this case, as it can also deal damage to enemy mobs from long distances.

To shoot a bow, hold down the right mouse button. The arrow will fly further if you pull it longer, and accordingly, it will cause more damage to the enemy. To kill a mob, you need to shoot 3-4 times, but bosses die only after a couple of dozen shots. Bow durability was introduced in the game after version 1.0.0.

An important detail when shooting will be the arrows: without them you simply won’t be able to shoot. For normal shooting, arrows must be in your inventory, and you must have a bow in your hands. Arrows can be obtained from defeated skeleton archers, you can craft them or pick up your own arrows (those fired by a skeleton cannot be picked up. You also cannot pick up your own arrows fired from a bow with an Infinity enchantment).

Enchanted weapons in Minecraft should increase their effectiveness. What can you come up with with bows? Since version Minecraft 1.1, the following enchantments for bows have been added: “fire arrow”, “efficiency”, “strength” and “infinity” (names may vary slightly). In version 1.4.6, it became possible to enchant a bow to be “indestructible” on an anvil and with an enchanted book.

Enchant Weapon

Weapon	Name	What gives
	Strength Unbreaking	With some degree of probability, the strength will not decrease.
	Force Power	Additional damage.
	Reclining Dropping Punch	Dropping the target.
	Burning Arrow Ignition Flame	Sets fire to arrows.
	Infinity Infinity	Arrows are not wasted. But to shoot you need at least one arrow.
	Repair Mending	Uses experience to repair items in your hands or armor slots.

At the very beginning, it is more advisable to enchant the bow for “strength” and “durability”.

When an arrow flies through lava, it becomes fiery and can set the enemy on fire. But such an arrow cannot set fire to blocks or burn objects, and will not cause additional damage. Although, at the same time, it activates THT. After some time it will go out. This differs from burning arrows fired from a bow with a fire enchantment, which will burn forever until they disappear.

Are you tired of melee weapons and want to defeat your enemies from a distance? Does the creeper explode, preventing you from even striking? Then the best weapon for you is a bow. The bow is one of the easiest weapons to create in Minecraft, and after reading the article, you will learn how to make it.

Making a bow

To make a bow you will need: three threads and three sticks. Sticks can be obtained from two boards; to do this, you need to cut down a log and make boards from it.

Also, when tree leaves are broken, there is a possibility of sticks falling out.

To get the thread, you need to kill several spiders. The web may not always fall out, but there is also a chance that two threads will fall out instead of one.

A longer way to get threads is to go down abandoned mines or find spider spawns, but again, you might get lucky.

All necessary resources have been obtained. We put everything that we got in the right order on the workbench, and we get a wonderful ranged weapon (see Fig. 1).

Picture 1

The bow is a ranged weapon that uses arrows. Arrows can be obtained in several ways.

Arrows

The fastest way to get arrows is to destroy skeletons, but this method can be dangerous, and it’s not a fact that you’ll be able to get away with it after getting what you want. Therefore, there is a safer way, for example, fishing with a fishing rod or creating on a workbench.

The first method is quite long and grueling, so let’s consider a faster and safer one.

To create arrows we will need:

• Flint
• Sticks
• Feathers

To mine silicon, you need to dig gravel; gravel is most often found between rocks and the ground, both in mountains and in caves. A few blocks of dug up gravel will give us a chance of obtaining silicon.

Also, mined gravel can be placed in the world and dug up again, silicon also falls out.

To get feathers, you need to kill a couple of chickens (see Fig. 2), since feathers do not always fall out of a killed bird. The chicken dies with one blow from an iron sword, so there should be no difficulty.

Figure 2

And, in order not to disturb the natural balance, do not forget to feed several pairs of animals with seeds, which can be obtained by breaking the grass.

The extraction of sticks has already been discussed above in the article, the method is the same: we chop it, make boards, put it on a workbench.

After extracting the necessary resources, we place them on the workbench and get four arrows from each craft (see Fig. 3).

Figure 3

Now you know how to make a bow in Minecraft, as well as how to make ammunition for it. Now you are not afraid of creepers and zombies, the killing projectile will reach everyone.
