Arrows can be modified to give [[status effects]] to [[player]]s and [[mob]]s.== Obtaining ===== Picking up arrows ===Arrows shot by players can always be [[#Retrieving|picked up]] in Creative mode.An arrow ''cannot'' be picked up by a player in [[Survival]] or [[Adventure]] mode if:* It is shot by a player in [[Creative]] mode.* It is shot by any [[mob]] able to shoot arrows, such as [[skeleton]]s, [[stray]]s, [[pillager]]s, or [[piglin]]s. This includes mobs that do not shoot arrows in normal gameplay, such as [[illusioner]]s and bow-wielding [[wither skeleton]]s.** This is the case even in Creative mode.<ref>{{bug|MC-128845|||WAI}}</ref>* It is shot with an [[Infinity]]-enchanted [[bow]].* It is one of the two extra arrows shot with a [[Multishot]]-enchanted [[crossbow]].=== Mob loot ===[[Skeleton]]s and [[stray]]s drop 0-2 arrows upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 arrows with Looting III.Strays have a 50% chance of dropping 1 arrow of [[Slowness]] when killed by a player. Each level of Looting increases the chance of this drop by 50% of the previous chance. This results in a maximum of 93.75% with Looting III.{{IN|bedrock}}, [[pillager]]s also drop 0–2 arrows upon death. The maximum drop is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 arrows with Looting III.=== Trading ===Novice-level fletcher [[villager]]s have a 50% chance {{in|bedrock}}, or a {{frac|2|3}} chance {{in|java}}, to sell 16 arrows for one [[emerald]] as part of their trades.{{IN|bedrock}}, master-level fletcher villagers have a {{frac|1|2}} chance to sell 5 tipped arrows for 2 emeralds and 5 arrows. {{IN|java}}, they have a {{frac|2|3}} chance to sell 5 tipped arrows for 2 emeralds and 5 arrows. Trades {{in|java}} can be the base effect, level II, or extended; {{in|bedrock}}, only the arrow of decay is level II.<!-- A check should be made if it chooses randomly from the whole of the list of possible arrows variants, or it it chooses a base arrow potion effect, then randomly choose from that arrow's options. The first one would make arrow's without a level II, like Fire Resistance for example, slightly less likely than ones with all three options like Swiftness. --><!-- None are extended duration, but villagers can trade level 2 arrows. -->* Arrow of [[Fire Resistance]]* Arrow of [[Harming]]* Arrow of [[Healing]]* Arrow of [[Invisibility]]* Arrow of [[Leaping]]* Arrow of [[Night Vision]]* Arrow of [[Poison]]* Arrow of [[Regeneration]]* Arrow of [[Slowness]]* Arrow of [[Strength]]* Arrow of [[Swiftness]]* Arrow of the [[Potion of the Turtle Master|Turtle Master]]* Arrow of [[Water Breathing]]* Arrow of [[Weakness]]* Arrow of [[Slow Falling]]{{only|java}}<!-- bedrock fletchers never sell arrows of slow falling -->* Arrow of [[Decay]]{{only|bedrock}}These are all potion effects except Slow Falling {{in|bedrock}} and [[Luck]] {{in|java}}. Trading is the only legitimate way to obtain arrows of Decay in [[Survival]] mode.=== Bartering ===Spectral arrows{{only|java}}/normal arrows{{only|bedrock}} can be obtained through [[bartering]] with [[piglin]]s, and have a ~8.71% chance to give the [[player]] 6-12 arrows.=== Villager gifts ==={{IN|java}}, any regular or tipped arrow (except for [[luck]] and [[Bad Luck]] arrows) can be obtained as a reward item from [[fletcher]] [[villager]]s when the player has the [[Hero of the Village]] status effect.=== Crafting ==={{Crafting|head=1|B1= Flint|B2= Stick|B3= Feather|Output = Arrow,4|type = Combat|showdescription=1}}{{Crafting|A2= Glowstone Dust|B1= Glowstone Dust|B2= Arrow|B3= Glowstone Dust|C2= Glowstone Dust|Output = Spectral Arrow,2|type = Combat|description = {{only|java}}}}{{Crafting|foot=1|description=Arrows of Decay are exclusive to {{el|be}} unless obtained via [[creative]] or [[commands]].

Arrows originally shot by [[skeleton]]s, [[stray]]s, [[illusioner]]s, [[pillager]]s, [[piglin]]s, players in [[Creative]], players using the [[Infinity]] enchantment, or duplicate arrows created by [[Crossbow]]s with the [[Multishot]] enchantment cannot be collected. Arrows cannot be retrieved when they are stuck in a player or mob, and players or mobs do not drop them when killed. Retrievable arrows have a despawn timer of 60 seconds.=== Cauldrons ==={{main|Cauldron#Potions}}{{IN|bedrock}}, tipped arrows can also be obtained by using arrows on [[Cauldron#Potions|cauldrons]] that contain [[potion]]s. The number of tipped arrows created depends on the potion inside the cauldron. When the cauldron is {{frac|1|3}} full, 16 arrows can be tipped. When the cauldron is {{frac|2|3}} full, up to 32 arrows can be tipped and when the cauldron is full, an entire stack of 64 arrows can be tipped. This is more efficient than using lingering potions as up to 21.33 arrows can be tipped per potion.== Usage =={{see also|Bow}}When fired, arrows fly in a [[wikipedia:Trajectory of a projectile|ballistic trajectory]] affected by gravity and drag in [[air]], [[water]], and [[lava]]. The arrow's velocity is multiplied by 0.99 every game tick, and it also experiences 20 block/s<sup>2</sup> of downward acceleration induced by gravity.Arrows travel approximately 3 [[block]]s when fired parallel to a flat plane with no charge, 15 blocks average with medium charge, and 24 blocks average with maximum charge. When fired from a fully charged bow, arrows can travel 120 blocks if fired from an optimal angle. The maximum height an arrow fired by a bow can reach is around 66 blocks.An arrow fired in water experiences much more drag than in air: it moves less than 8 blocks before completely losing horizontal speed and falling straight down, although the knockback of the arrow remains unaffected. It also leaves a trail of bubbles in its wake.There is a random variable to the trajectory of an arrow, given by <code>this.rand.nextGaussian() * 0.0075 * (double)inaccuracy</code> for the x, y and z coordinate. The inaccuracy is relatively small, becoming noticeable over larger distances. The inaccuracy of different arrow delivery devices may differ. Dispensers fire with an inaccuracy of 6, while bows fire with an inaccuracy of 1.An arrow's speed determine the damage it inflicts. The damage inflicted is calculated by multiplying the arrow's [[#Entity data|damage value]] with its velocity in blocks per [[Tick#Game tick|game tick]]. When fired from a fully-charged unenchanted bow, arrows do {{hp|6}} of damage, with a smaller chance to damage for up to {{hp|11}} via critical hits. They inflict up to {{hp|5}} damage from a medium-charged bow, and {{hp|1}} from a bow with no charge. Arrows fired from dispensers always do {{hp|3}} of damage unless their velocity is modified by an external source. Arrows fired from [[crossbow]]s do {{hp|6}} to {{hp|11}} of damage.Arrows trigger [[Damage#Immunity|damage immunity]] on hit. However, unlike other methods of damage that may bypass invulnerability under certain conditions, arrows hitting the mob while it is invulnerable lose all speed and drop to the ground, dealing no damage unless they contact another mob.[[File:ArrowShotInTree.png|thumb|An arrow shot into a [[tree]].]]Arrows also stick into objects they come in contact with and remain there for one minute before disappearing; the distance from the object and the angle determine how far into the target the arrow penetrates. Such arrows may be [[#Retrieving|retrieved]].If the arrow has any custom potion effects (NBT tag <code>CustomPotionEffects</code>), all potion effects, including vanilla potion effects (NBT tag <code>Potion</code>) are removed 30 seconds after the arrow stops moving.If an arrow is stuck in a block, and that block is broken or disappears (e.g., [[leaves]] upon decay), then the arrow falls straight down and damages entities below, but never deals a critical hit. The 1-minute despawn timer is then refreshed, meaning it will take another minute for the arrow to despawn.Arrows bounce off players and mobs immune to damage, like a player in Creative mode, a [[wither]] under the "wither armor" effect, and a perching [[ender dragon]].Arrows shot through [[lava]] or (if there's at least a 2 block gap) [[fire]] catch on fire and show an appropriate animation until they pass through water. Like arrows shot from a bow with the Flame enchantment, they can set other entities they hit on fire for 5 seconds as well as ignite TNT and campfires.An arrow shot at any kind of boat{{only|java|short=1}} or minecart causes the vehicle to break, dropping any components (including container contents).Arrows can get visually stuck in players {{in|java}}, although not any mobs. They appear as regular arrows regardless of type.<ref>{{bug|MC-83933|||WAI}}</ref><gallery>Steve got shot.png|Steve got shot.Alex got shot.png|Alex got shot.</gallery>=== Redstone circuits ===An arrow can activate a wooden [[button]], wooden [[pressure plate]], a [[tripwire]], or a [[target]]. An arrow will continue to power these blocks until it is removed, either due to despawning, or being picked up. Target blocks emit a redstone pulse for one second, as opposed to the static depressed state of the other switches. Non-wooden switches are not affected by arrows.When arrows are fired into the sides of blocks, they change their orientation to point more downward than their original flight path might indicate. This can cause them to intersect and thus trigger switches above them that they didn't actually hit, or block rails above them.=== Explosions ===Arrows are affected by explosions while they are in flight. Since explosions can increase the speed of an arrow, they can also increase the damage dealt by them. {{only|Java}}== Variants ===== Tipped arrows ==={{See also|#Crafting}}Tipped arrows are arrows that imbue a potion effect when hitting a mob or player. The duration of the effect is {{frac|1|8}} that of the corresponding potion, if applicable, and is not affected by the power of the arrow. The status effect is the same as the regular power effect for the potion. If a bow is enchanted with [[Infinity]], tipped arrows are still consumed. The types of arrows are:<div class="list-style-none" style="-moz-column-width:19em;-webkit-column-width:19em;column-width:19em">* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Regeneration}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Swiftness}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Fire Resistance}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Healing}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Night Vision}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Strength}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Leaping}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Invisibility}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Poison}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Weakness}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Slowness}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Harming}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Water Breathing}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Luck}}{{only|java|short=1}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Decay}}{{only|bedrock|short=1}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of the Turtle Master}}* {{ItemLink|link=none|Arrow of Slow Falling}}</div>Arrows of Harming (and arrows of Healing when used against undead mobs) do not add a static amount of damage to the arrow.<ref>{{bug|MC-107856||Arrows of harming/healing do not stack with bow damage}}</ref> Instead, the arrow's damage is first calculated, then checked to see if it is below {{Health|12}}. If the arrow's damage is less than 12, the Harming effect of the arrow makes up the difference, to ensure the arrow does exactly {{Health|12}}. Therefore, an unenchanted bow cannot deal more than 12 damage using Harming (or Healing) arrows, as it can deal a maximum of {{Health|11}} damage on level ground. However, if the arrow would deal more than 12 damage, the harming effect is entirely neutralized. This means that bows enchanted with Power I through Power III has a chance to not utilize the arrow at full charge, and any Power level above III never utilizes Arrows of Harming effectively at full charge when against unarmored mobs/players. ==== No-effect tipped arrows ====It is possible to craft tipped arrows using [[Lingering Potion#Lingering water bottle|Lingering Water Bottles]] as well as Awkward, Thick, and Mundane [[Lingering Potion|Lingering potions]]. If crafted with a water bottle, the arrow is called an arrow of Splashing. If crafted with Mundane, Awkward, or Thick potions, it is called a tipped arrow.<ref>{{bug|MC-158539}}</ref> Tipped arrows crafted from different potions do not stack, as resultant tipped arrows all have different potion tags.In Bedrock Edition, all four kinds as well as the long mundane tipped arrow aren't obtainable either in creative, by cauldrons, by crafting, or by commands.All four kinds generate blue particles in flight and upon landing, but otherwise behave like regular arrows. In particular, arrow of Splashing has no effect on fire and campfires and when shot from a bow with the Flame enchantment, can light campfires and TNT just like regular arrows on fire. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" data-description="Unused potions"!

It is available in two variants that don't stack together:* {{cmd|/give @s minecraft:tipped_arrow{Potion:"minecraft:empty"} }} - arrow assigned an effect placeholder "empty" * {{cmd|/give @s minecraft:tipped_arrow }} - arrow not assigned any effect.The uncraftable arrow doesn't differ from regular arrows in behavior when used as a projectile.{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" data-description="Unused potions"!

The Glowing effect creates an outline of the target, which is visible through blocks, and colored based on the target's [[team]] (white by default). Even if a bow is enchanted with [[Infinity]], spectral arrows are still consumed. Spectral arrows can be acquired through [[bartering]] or crafted by combining 4 [[Glowstone Dust#Crafting ingredient|glowstone dust]] with one arrow, yielding 2 spectral arrows.{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" !

Sometimes, if in a [[warm ocean]] biome, [[coral]] and [[coral fan]]s may have a chance to generate as well, and in Bedrock Edition, coral (not coral fan) can be generated in any biome. In order for this to work, there must be 2 water blocks above the block the bone meal is being used on, and the lower one must be non-flowing water.Using bone meal on a [[sea pickle]] on a [[coral block]] creates sea pickles. This generates sea pickles up to 3 [[block]]s (of coral) away, so a 7+ × 7+ block (49+ blocks) of coral may be necessary, to return the most sea pickles per given bone meal attempt (more attempts grows them more numerously, exactly - including the range of it growing, like grass with heights on grass blocks - as coral and coral fans, though those others being non-solid blocks).Using bone meal on [[netherrack]] adjacent to [[nylium]] converts the netherrack into nylium of the same type. If both crimson and warped nylium are adjacent to the netherrack that was applied with bone meal, there is a 50% chance that either type of nylium is created.Using bone meal on [[nylium]] causes the corresponding [[roots]] and both types of [[fungi]] to appear on the nylium block and other nylium nearby, with the type of fungi matching the type of nylium being more common. In addition, using bone meal on the side of warped nylium creates [[nether sprouts]] and [[twisting vines]].=== Farmer villagers ===[[Villager]]s with the farmer profession can collect bone meal from a full [[composter]], with which they can make their crops grow faster.== Sounds =={{edition|java}}:{{Sound table|sound=Bonemeal1.ogg|sound2=Bonemeal2.ogg|sound3=Bonemeal3.ogg|sound4=Bonemeal4.ogg|sound5=Bonemeal5.ogg|subtitle=Bone Meal crinkles|description=When bone meal is successfully used|source=block|id=item.bone_meal.use|translationkey=subtitles.item.bone_meal.use|volume=1.0|pitch=1.0|distance=16|foot=1}}{{edition|be}}:{{Sound table|type=bedrock|sound=Bonemeal1.ogg|sound2=Bonemeal2.ogg|sound3=Bonemeal3.ogg|sound4=Bonemeal4.ogg|sound5=Bonemeal5.ogg|description=When bone meal is successfully used|source=block|id=item.bone_meal.use|volume=1.0|pitch=0.9-1.1|foot=1}}== Data values ===== ID ==={{edition|java}}:{{ID table|edition=java|showforms=y|generatetranslationkeys=y|displayname=Bone Meal|spritetype=item|nameid=bone_meal|form=item|foot=1}}{{edition|bedrock}}:{{ID table|edition=bedrock|showaliasids=y|shownumericids=y|showforms=y|notshowbeitemforms=y|generatetranslationkeys=y|displayname=Bone Meal|spritetype=item|nameid=bone_meal|aliasid=dye / 15|id=411|form=item|translationkey=item.dye.white.name|foot=1}}== History =={{History|java beta}}{{History||1.2|[[File:Bone Meal JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added bone meal.|Bone meal can now only be applied to [[sapling]]s and [[wheat]].}}{{History||1.6.6|Bone meal can now be applied on [[grass block]]s.}}{{History||1.8|snap=Pre-release|Bone meal can now be used on [[mushroom]]s to make [[huge mushroom]]s, and the block the mushroom is on changes to [[dirt]].}}{{History|||snap=Pre-release 2;)|Bone meal can now be applied on [[pumpkin seeds|pumpkin]] and [[melon seed]]s.}}{{History|java}}{{History||1.3.1|snap=12w19a|Bone meal can now be applied on [[cocoa bean]]s.}}{{History|||snap=1.3|[[File:Bone Meal JE2 BE2.png|32px]] The texture of bone meal has been changed.}}{{History||1.4.2|snap=12w34a|Bone meal can now be used to dye [[leather armor]] and [[tamed wolf]]'s collar.}}{{History||1.4.6|snap=12w49a|Bone meal can now be [[crafted]] with [[gunpowder]] to create a [[firework star]].}}{{History||1.5|snap=13w04a|Bone meal has been significantly nerfed.<br>[[Wheat]], [[melon seeds|melon]] and [[pumpkin seed]]s, [[potato]]es and [[carrot]]s: one bone meal is now consumed for all seven stages of growth (melon and pumpkin seeds do not spawn right away).<br>[[Sapling]]s: one bone meal is now consumed for each of the two growth stages, then it grows into a tree.<br>[[Cocoa]]s: one bone meal is now consumed for each of the three stages of growth.|Green [[particle]]s are now displayed when bone meal is used.|Bone meal can now be used from [[dispenser]]s.}}{{History|||snap=13w05a|The balancing of bone meal has been adjusted.
