Minecraft\u2019s freedom in gameplay lets you play the game in any way that you like, which even allows you to completely skip many of its amazing if they just don\u2019t fit your playstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you do participate in the combat and hunting aspects of the game then you\u2019ll come to learn very fast that Bows and Arrows are very effective<\/a> to use in the world of Minecraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you like to keep a distance from your enemies or just like the way it feels, the bow and arrow is a very fun tool to have at your disposal. And they\u2019re in general one of the best ways to deal with the creepers without having to be in a risky radius around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like with swords<\/a> and other weapons, the Bows in Minecraft can have enchantments applied to them, granting them new abilities and stats that enhance your experience and give you more power.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Best Minecraft Bow Enchantments Ranked<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It can undoubtedly take a lot of time to figure out which are the best ones, so here\u2019s a guide on the best bow enchantments to use in Minecraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Punch (Knockback)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Punch has the same effects as the Knockback enchantment but it\u2019s used on bows, and it gives you the power of pushing back your enemies each time you hit them. It\u2019s very beneficial to use it if you\u2019re crowded by many enemies or are fighting a fast enemy that you want to keep a distance from without having to use a sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s clear though, that it\u2019s a situational item that can\u2019t be used as a primary effect so make sure you know what you\u2019re doing \u2013 and it\u2019s also going to be hard to manage in PvP unless you\u2019re just looking for some fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Curse of Vanishing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Curse of Vanishing enchantment is best used in PvP, as there\u2019s not much point in having it equipped in single-player or co-op because the AI is not really going to do anything with your loot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point of using it in PvP is that if you equip it to your best bow and go into war against other players or factions, when you die you won\u2019t drop it for them to pick up, instead the item will quite literally die with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Power enchantment increases the overall damage of your bow by a generous margin, and leveling up to its max potential will allow you to deal 23 heart damage when the shot is fully charged (whereas the average is only 9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s very difficult to gain the fifth level of the enchantment though, which requires you to use the Anvil and to combine two separate bows that are level 4 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Flame<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As the name implies, the Flame enchantment grants you the ability to set anything on fire as you attack them. It\u2019s effective in almost any offensive situation that you\u2019re in and even helps extra with PvP as sprint does not work when you\u2019re on fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, animals that you attack with the Flame enchantment are immediately cooked which saves time and fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Mending<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"best<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since almost every weapon in Minecraft breaks after a certain amount of use, the only way to grant them extra durability is to apply the right enchantment for the task \u2013 and that\u2019s where Mending comes in. Once equipped, every time you kill enemies and they drop XP orbs, picking them up will act as a regenerative item for your bow and automatically increase its durability by a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Infinity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Infinity is easily one of the best and most useful enchantments for bows. Once equipped, as long as you have even a single arrow in your inventory \u2013 you can shoot an infinite number of arrows for as long as you like. Unlimited arrows, seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also very similar to piercing, a viable enchantment for crossbows in Minecraft<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Unbreaking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unbreaking is an interesting variation to Mending and ultimately is still about increasing your weapon\u2019s durability. What makes it different and arguably better is the fact it does not need any immediate factors like collecting XP orbs, and instead just allows you to have a one-time upgrade that, on its highest level, can go as far as to slightly over 6000 uses before breaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining it with something like the Infinity enchantment gives you a nearly indestructible bow with unlimited arrows \u2013 so keep those combinations in mind when you use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
