Tips

  • If you would like, start a game in creative mode (or re-create your old world and turn on cheats) and type in /gamemode creative. Then enchant your bow.
  • You can add more enchantments to your bow, and even rename it! That way, you can make sure your bow has long life and is protected!
  • Other enchantments include power, mending, unbreaking, punch, and most important, infinity. (Just make sure you have an arrow in your inventory for the infinity.)
