As a seasoned Minecraft survivor with countless hours under my belt, I can confidently say that mastering the art of arrow crafting has been a game-changer for me. The process is simple yet effective, much like the game itself!


Making a bow in Minecraft is only half the battle when it comes to fighting enemies at long distances, as you have to possess a solid stockpile of arrows for the bow to shoot. The crafting process of arrows is similar to that of the bow but requires a couple of additional resources that you might not know where to find. You can see the entire crafting process for arrows in Minecraft in the guide below.

Following that recipe, you’ll be able to create four arrows since it has a 1:4 ratio. If your goal is to craft 100 arrows, you’d require 20 portions of Charcoal, Sticks, and Feathers each.

Obtaining sticks is quite simple; just put a piece of any type of wood plank on a crafting table in the middle, and voila! Sticks are also vital for creating bows and numerous other early game items. As for Charcoal, you make it by inserting any log into a furnace along with any fuel source, but coal is ideal because you can easily find it while mining in almost any Minecraft environment.

Eventually, Feathers are usually obtained by slaughtering chickens, since they drop anywhere between zero and two upon their demise. Chickens can be found in various Minecraft ecosystems, with grasslands being the most frequent location for them. Additionally, you can kill parrots to get one or two Feathers, and you may find this resource in shipwrecks and villages within chests.

When you’ve gathered all necessary items, put them on the workbench to create your arrows. Once made, store the arrows in your inventory, allowing you to draw your bow and shoot at approaching targets in Minecraft.
