I'm surprised Eyecraft didn't bring this up, but at least in Java edition, an arrow's damage output is directly proportional to its velocity. This number isn't capped, meaning that an arrow's damage is only limited by how fast you're able to propel it. People have been able to build machines that propel an arrow so fast using dozens of TNT explosions that it can one-shot the Ender Dragon

[@Kurd143]

Yeah, mumbo jumbo made a cannon too

[@badwolf01]

The subject of arrow determination wasn't mentioned either. Meaning, what arrow is used if you have different types of arrows in your inventory? In Java, you can use your offhand. Otherwise, it's inventory for Bedrock or when your offhand is not used in Java - hotbar (left to right) and then main inventory (left to right, and top to bottom).

17:47 Important addition: The arrow's speed is increased when you fly with an Elytra and the damage that the arrow makes is increased. Compared to standing still. Flying at very high speed (flying down, not using rockets) you can then one-shot a player with a max enchant power bow. Also: Arrows can be propelled by TNT. You can accelerate them to insane speeds that can one-shot a warden.

@@Ekipsogel yeah I meant bedrock dislexia's a bitch. Trying to get the arrow you want from villagers is annoying. Expensive, and time consuming though. One time I wanted to know how hard it would be to get weakness arrows from a fletcher, so I could cure zombie villagers without potions from the nether. I did the math and you have a 1/30 chance of getting the arrow you need from a particular villager. Not only that, but you'll only know if they have it by leveling them up to master. Doing that without curing them is expensive. In creative mode I filled a double chest with logs to see if that was enough to get weakness arrows. It wasn't. I guess if you're in hardcore and you want cured villagers pre-nether you either have to find an igloo or do the fletcher thing. But if you're not in hardcore you might as well just go tho the nether.

[@olaf98]

I'm surprised you didnt mention this, but here is another thing. If you are holding multiple kinds of arrows in your inventory the way the game picks which one you will fire is not random, first it will check if you have an arrow in your second hand, then if you have one in your hotbar and lastly in your inventory going from top to bottom and from left to right.

[@user-ws3hh2rn4v]

thank you

[@TheViewC]

Is there a way to switch between arrow types without going to inventory screen? Maybe if you hold a bow in your offhand and scroll through hotbar with different arrows?

[@AchiragChiragg]

The arrows move in a parabolic trajectory. And you're right, the maximum trajectory is when the angle of launch is 45°

[@pasikhdar6617]

That is assuming that the bow/archer (the arrow's initial position) is level with the landing point/final position of the arrow (i.e. delta altitude equals zero). But keep in mind that in a practical scenario of an archer firing on a level ground (feet on land and bow held at shoulder height), the arrow initially rests at an elevated point (i.e. from ground to bow/shoulder of the archer). A 45° launch angle/angle of release would only yield the furthest horizontal displacement had the projectile been launched at the same altitude as its landing/final altitude. Thereby, an archer's arrow would not yield the furthest displacement if launched from a bow at 45° angle, due the (aforementioned) bow's elevation from ground. That is why you would see that the perfect angle of release for a shot put is deemed to be closer to 37° (due to the initial elevation of the ball from the ground, as it was held by the thrower). I suspect that (without factoring air resistance) the maximum horizontal displacement of any projectile, at any initial and final altitude, is achieved by whatever angle of release that would result in a 45° landing angle. Although this might very well be proven wrong.

[@Xizyx]

Fun feature(?) about Bedrock arrows and shriekers: If you shoot a shrieker with an arrow it will continue to trigger until the Warden emerges. It will stop until the Warden is outside of the shrieker-Warden range or the arrow is removed or despawns. It's an interesting way to make a remote Warden spawner with a dispenser block.

mending > infinity by miles. dont gotta worry about it breaking and even with infinity, you need a slot for a arrow so might as well carry a full stack. thats all you need for every day stuff. fully enchanted and its all you need for most boss fights as well.

[@kainepeterson6638]

[@LarryDaSkeleton01]

You can literally do a skeleton farm and get infinite arrows, you are absolutely right

[@theretron1980]

for sp mending is better but for pvp mending is useless on bows

[@spinz5937]

Infinity is better because with it, you need only one slot instead of several stacks of arrows without, and it saves more time and resources on arrows than mending saves on secondary bows to repair it with in an anvil

imagine having a bow enchant or some kind of version of bow that would leave blocks on its path as in this video. Like you would hold a block you wish to use in offhand and you could for example make a nice line for a bridge.

[@cheesycarrotsoup]

As a relatively new player,I always look forward to your videos, I always learn something.

[@whoknows4077]

If you are using tipped arrows, know that long lasting poison does the most extra damage spread out over 11 seconds, but instant damage 2 does almost as much, but instantly, so generally the most powerful tipped arrow is instant damage 2. (I even tested the wither effect tipped arrows on bedrock, they don’t actually do much). Just know that for undead mobs, poison acts as regeneration and instant damage acts as instant health, so if you are fighting the wither use instant health 2 tipped arrows instead. Very few normal undead mobs actually survive a single shot from a maxed out bow even if it used instant damage arrows though, so generally, instant damage 2 arrows are the way to go. I recommend bedrock players use tipped arrows in long term survival worlds because tipped arrows on bedrock are actually incredibly cheap once you have everything set up correctly, and if you do this you should obviously opt for mending on your bow because infinity is useless for tipped arrows. For java players, I don’t think it’s worth it.

[@od1umct]

I mainly play on xbox with my daughter, I find using mending is better for most cases, but for boss fights I tend to use infinity as accuracy is a bit harder on a controller especially with the ender dragon..and not having to have 2 or more slots filled with arrows is ideal

Eyecraft, you forgot about version of Minecraft 1.11 It's the only version where infinity and mending aren't exclusive to each other due bug So I've crafted this infinity + mending + unbreaking3 + flame + power5 bow and it's with me right now, in 1.20.1 version And it's awesome: it behaves like infinity bow, so you can fire infinitely with only 1 arrow But also it has mending so you can repair it after some firing on xp farm It's the best bow ever, but it can't be obtained in versions 1.11.1 and newer bc in 1.11.1 Mojang fixed bug(

My son wanted to shoot blocks out of the bow like eyecraft did, so if anyone is wondering the command he uses is: /execute @e[type=minecraft:arrow] run setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:red_concrete in our case we changed the red_concrete to orch something froglight because it lights up and is easier to see at night. if you set the middle ~ to ~2 you get the benefit of it not obstructing your sight but then you cant shoot arrows directly up because the blocks spawn infront of your arrow.

[@michaelcoleman2173]

I feel in mending vs infinity its: For a bow with otherwise low quality/no other enchantments Infinity is better as you can create a powerful weapon for fairly cheap when you may not yet have a way to mass acquire arrows. Once you get a decked out bow, Mending is better as you don't ever want it to break and at that stage you should have a method of arrow production such as a skelly farm or villager trading.

[@eldenchunugus]

I disagree as a maxed bow with unbreaking can last for 500+ shots, and repairing them is dirt cheap. Even when it becomes too expensive, books can be purchased from villagers.

[@greywolf9783]

2:50 if you have easy access to more arrows then you will ever need like a skeleton farm, mending

One thing: I Think that Bedrock and Java are very different in terms of arrow drop. I think that the bedrock edition bow has way less drop to it than The java edition one

[@avemaria5200]

Infinity is better in early game, but if you have fletcher and something like Unbreaking 3, Power V, Flame bow then i highly suggest using mending in order to save enchantments.

Oh damn, if tipped arrows don't work on an infinity bow then it's definitely better to get mending. I though the debate was for infinite tipped arrows or a bow that never breaks. Which if that was the case I'd say infinite was better, but if they only work with regular arrows then mending is far better.

[@ich1277]

Well infinity is great but you get infinite arrows from skeleton farm so it doesnt make it quite useful since infinity does not affect the special arrows. Thats a shame, sticking with mending is better for most situations Also you didn't mention that in minecraft arrows damage is affected by its speed so shooting an arrow while gliding which increases its speed also increases its damage.

How can I get the most out of them? Oh,and yea I got some golden arrows from pig people,what's the deal with them?

[@IsaiahSmith-yc1mq]

If you have a gold tool with Fortune it can be great to harvest crops ( like carrots or potatoes) because it takes no durability to break them. If it has Mending and Silk touch I guess it could be used situationally if you really need to ST something (like maybe ice or turtle eggs...) Other than that they are mostly useless. Their durability cap is so low that even if you can repair w/ mending or anvil you still can't use them long. Disenchant and smelt for a nugget I guess) As for spectral arrows basically what Eyecraft said--if you want to see a mob through walls like the underground Wither fight or Shulkers. Or if you're killing animals in a pen you can see which ones you've hit if they run away (Although Looting + Sharpness would be far better.) I hope this helps.

Using 6 pre-charged crossbows with Power V + Multishot you can nuke the Wither in 1 or 2 seconds and you only need 4 Crossbows to instantly kill the Ender Dragon The only reason to use bows is that they don't require a massive set-up to be good but as soon as you can farm gunpowder and firecharges i'd highly reccomend switching to crossbows
