Biomes & Dimensions

• All Overworld biomes (crafting)
• Nether (for potions)

All Methods

1. 1Craft using 8 Arrows and 1 Lingering Potion (yields 8)
2. 2Traded from Fletcher villagers

• Requires brewing a Lingering Potion first (Splash Potion + Dragon's Breath)
• Dragon's Breath is collected from the Ender Dragon's breath attack using glass bottles
• The potion effect depends on which lingering potion you use
• Fletcher villagers sell tipped arrows at Master level, skipping the brewing process

• Added in 1.9 (Combat Update)

The potion effect depends on the lingering potion used. Crafts 8 tipped arrows.

A tipped arrow takes a lingering potion and eight arrows, and the lingering potion itself needs dragon's breath, so this is an end-game arrow. What you get is the potion effect delivered at range, which turns harming, slowness or poison into a bow shot rather than a thrown bottle.

Tipped arrows need a lingering potion, which needs dragon's breath, which means the End. That chain is why most players never make them until late, and why the ones they do make tend to be poison or harming rather than anything experimental.
