All Possible Enchants For Bows

Here we provide a list of all the possible bow enchants, what they do, and what they're exclusive with

Level I - V

Power


Power increases the damage dealt by arrows fired from a bow. Higher levels allow you to defeat enemies more quickly.

Level I

Flame


Flame causes arrows to ignite targets on impact. Burning enemies take extra damage over time.

Level I - II

Punch


Punch adds knockback to arrows when they hit a target. This pushes enemies away and can help control distance in combat.

Level I - III

Unbreaking


Unbreaking gives your armour a chance not to lose durability when it takes damage. This significantly increases the lifespan of enchanted gear.

Level I

Mending


Mending repairs your armour using the experience you collect. Instead of gaining XP, it is used to restore item durability. Mutually exclusive with Infinity.

Level I

Infinity


Infinity allows you to shoot unlimited arrows as long as you have one arrow in your inventory. Mutually exclusive with Mending.

Level I

Curse of Vanishing


Curse of Vanishing causes an item to disappear when the player dies. This prevents it from being recovered after death.
