Bow

Bow is a weapon in the Weapons category of Minecraft, obtained through crafting it, mob drops (Skeleton), and fishing (as treasure). It cannot be stacked, so each Bow occupies a full inventory slot on its own the way tools and other damageable items do. With a base durability of 384 uses, it can be repaired and enchanted to extend its working life before it breaks. This item was added to the game in the 1.0 full release.

In this database, Bow sits alongside 11 other Weapons entries, each with its own page. Its 384-point durability sets how many actions it survives before breaking, and pairing it with Unbreaking multiplies that effective lifespan while Mending repairs it from collected experience. Bow additionally serves as a crafting ingredient for Dispenser. When enchanted, it can carry 7 different enchantments, including Power, Punch, Flame, and Infinity, which together can dramatically change how it performs.
