How to get arrows?


Players can get arrows through mob loot, chest loot, and crafting. Skeletons and strays have a 50% chance of dropping between 0-2 arrows upon death. Players can find arrows in loot chests in bastion remnants, jungle temples, pillager outposts, and villages. Arrows can be crafted by placing a flint, stick, and feather in a straight vertical line in the crafting grid.
