When players first enter the world, they can craft all kinds of gear to help them progress. Usually, players initially choose to make a sword that can melee attack any hostile mob. However, they will soon want a bow and arrow to kill enemies from a distance. There is always a constant influx of new players jumping into the game for the first time. For these players, crafting and using a bow can be slightly tricky since they must know the crafting recipe and how to obtain the necessary crafting items. However, players can do a lot with a bow once it is crafted. It can even be enchanted to unleash its full potential.

Sticks and strings are the only two items required. After players enter the game, they can start punching a tree to make all kinds of wooden items like planks, sticks, crafting tables, etc. Hence, new players will most likely have sticks. It can be crafted by placing two wooden planks vertically in the crafting slots. Strings can be a little tricky to obtain since they are dropped by spiders. Players can also explore the world to find certain chests that have a chance of generating strings. Otherwise, players can fight off some spiders during the night or in a cave to obtain them. To craft a bow, players will need three strings and three sticks. On the crafting table, players must place sticks in a 'less than symbol' or '<' shape and place all three strings vertically in the crafting slots on the right.

Arrows are the ammunition for bows and crossbows that need to be in the player's inventory for the ranged weapon to function. Arrows can either be crafted with flints, feathers, and sticks, or they can be obtained by killing Skeletons. Players can hold down the right mouse button to place an arrow on the bow and then release the mouse button to shoot the arrow. Players must remember that projectile motion is part of the physics of the game. Hence, they may have to aim higher while shooting from afar. Some of the best enchantments that can be applied to bows are Infinity and Power. As the name suggests, the Infinity enchantment enables a bow to shoot infinite arrows. The Power enchantment increases the overall attack damage of the ranged weapon.
