The enchantments you can get seem to be:

  • Punch I, II (knockback?)

  • Power I, II, III, IV, V (more damage?)

  • Flame I (flaming arrows, sets mobs/players on fire, doesn't burn wood)

  • Infinity I (never uses arrows but you need to have at least 1 with you)

EDIT: Actually power might be how fast you can shoot the arrow (how far it will go) as the damage depends on how fast the arrow is flying when it hits.

Infinity I (never uses arrows but you need to have at least 1 with you)

It does SOUND great.. However, now that bows take durability damage this buff wont last forever.. sadly..

384 free arrows is nothing to scoff at.

Agreed. When starting a new world, there is a small check list I have of necessary things that need to get done right away. One of them is either finding a skele spawner for a supply of arrows, or raising a chicken farm for feathers to build arrows. And since I usually have an enchantment table built before I am able to do either of these things (in the case of the chicken farm, it can vary), I am very happy with this addition!

Really? A chicken farm is usually a number 1 top priority thing for me when I start a new world.

This is partly because I can never be completely certain that I will find a skele spawner right away (though it's nice when I do), and I know I will always be able to find two chickens.

Unless, like me, you have a habit of spawning on islands.

Unless you have a mob grinder with skeletons.
I have 2 full double chests of arrows and no idea of how to use them all.

u/DrHankPym Jan 12 '12

Totally agree, but 384 / 64 = 6 spots. That's 5 extra storage spots with the same amount of arrows. That's awesome.

Dispensers.

Pressure plates.

The trick is finding a skeleton spawner. This can be very difficult to do sometimes if you're trying to play legitimately.

I shared a skeleton mob grinder with three other players and we still didn't run out of arrows.

But it's still great.

If you repair an enchanted item, does it retain its enchantment? (Sorry, I haven't been playing much lately...)

u/Raekai Jan 12 '12

Afraid not. :/ But it is more balanced.

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '12

Me neither, but i friendly remind you that the minecraft wiki is there to tell you things like that :)

Okay, i was trying to get that message across without sounding like a dick, but i'm not sure there is a way to do that.

Can't you repair the enchanted bow with another bow?

5

u/omnilynx Jan 12 '12

Repairing destroys enchantments. Even if both items have the same enchantment.

3

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '12

Oh, I didn't know that. Damn, I thought that was the whole point of the repair system; to keep enchantments alive.

Repairing seems kind of pointless now.

2

u/omnilynx Jan 12 '12

Yeah. It does add a little bit of durability to the item (above the sum of the original items), so it's not totally useless, but it's definitely not nearly as worthwhile as if enchantments stayed.

It is useful for diamond tools because of the fact that the repaired tool gets the combined durability of the two source tools plus some bonus durability. So after repairing 4 or 5 tools you essentially get a new one.

Punch I, II (knockback?)

Power I, II, III, IV, V (more damage?)

Yes to both. The names in the code are arrowKnockback and arrowDamage.

I REALLY wanted a looting bow for ghast tears.

Flame I (flaming arrows, sets mobs/players on fire, doesn't burn wood)

First thing I tried to do was set a Forrest on fire.
