The chance of dropping a bow is increased by 1% per level of [[Looting]], allowing up to an 11.5% chance of dropping. The chance of being enchanted depends on the [[difficulty]], whether it is normal or hard. The enchantment level is equal to enchant level 5-22. Bows of [[skeleton trap]]s are always enchanted at level 5 to 23. The exact level depends on [[regional difficulty]], as on Easy it is always a level-5 enchantment.==== Illusioners ===={{exclusive|java|section=1}}[[Illusioner]]s have an 8.5% chance of dropping an unenchanted bow when killed by the player. The chance of dropping a bow is increased by 1% per level of Looting, allowing up to an 11.5% chance of dropping. === Trading ===Apprentice-level fletcher [[villager]]s sell bows for 2 [[emerald]]s as part of their [[trading|trade]]s.Expert-level fletcher villagers sell enchanted bows for 7–21 emeralds as part of their trades. The enchantment level is equal to enchant level 5–19.=== Fishing ===Bows have a chance of being caught by [[fishing]]. When caught, the bow may be damaged and contain random [[enchantment]]s equivalent to a level 30 enchantment from an [[enchanting table]], including treasure enchantments like [[Mending]].=== Repairing ==={{Grinding|showdescription=1|ingredients=2x Damaged [[Bow]]|Damaged Bow|Damaged Bow|Bow|description=The durability of the two bows is added together, plus an extra 5% durability.}}{{Crafting|Damaged Bow|Damaged Bow|Output=Bow|type=Combat|ignoreusage=1}}== Usage ===== Weapon ===[[File:Steve aiming with Bow.png|150px|right]][[File:Alex aiming with Bow.png|150px|right]]Bows can be drawn back by {{control|using}} them. In order to use a bow, the player must have at least one [[arrow]] in their [[inventory]] or be in [[Creative]] mode. The arrow that is shown inside the bow always looks like a regular arrow, regardless of what kind of arrow is actually being shot from the bow.<ref>{{bug|MC-87685||Drawn bow texture does not reflect arrow that will be shot|WF}}</ref>When drawing a bow, the display zooms in slightly. Charging the bow to its maximum causes it to visually shake as an indicator. Releasing the button shoots an [[arrow]]. Drawing a bow can be canceled by switching to another hotbar slot while holding use.While the bow is being charged or remains fully charged, the player is forced to move at [[sneaking]] speed, unless they are riding a [[horse]], [[minecart]] or [[boat]], or flying with [[elytra]]. It is not possible to [[Sprinting|sprint]] while charging a bow or holding a drawn bow. When the bow is released, normal motion resumes although any prior sprint is cancelled. Sneaking while drawing the bow makes the player move even slower.If an arrow hits another player, the player that shoots the arrow hears a high-pitched "ding" sound.{{only|je}}Fully charged shots launch critical arrows which have a trail of [[particles]] behind them and deal up to <math display="inline">\left ( \frac{3x}{2} \right ) + 2</math>damage, where <math>x</math>is the damage after any enchantments. The listed values below describe maximum damage from a bow with no [[Power]] enchantments, assuming the target is at a distance where drag and gravity are negligible. However, the critical damage is likely to be more around 8-10; critical damage is added at a random value between <math>x</math>and <math display="inline">\left ( \frac{3x}{2} \right ) + 2</math> and it is rare to have minimum or maximum values. The damage dealt can ultimately be less than the maximum damage if the arrow slows down after being shot. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" data-description="Shot base damage by changing time"|-!

For example, it is possible for a critical arrow shot to cause damage values such as 6.4. In this cases of a broken value, the game can round up or down and store the amount for subsequent damage sources.Any projectile thrown by the player is under the influence of momentum in current versions of ''Minecraft''. Naturally, the player's movement speed can be modified under a number of circ*mstances, affecting the ballistic trajectory of projectiles, and as a result, the damage inflicted by arrows.In [[Java Edition Combat Tests]], to avoid sniping, arrows shot from fully-charged bows become non-critical if held drawn back for longer than three seconds. Instantaneous effects on tipped arrows are scaled by 1/8, just like the duration of other effects. For example, Instant Damage I arrow will deal an additional {{hp|0.75}} magical damage.Damage caused by the arrow is not affected by the [[Strength]] effect.[[Endermen]] cannot be shot using an arrow, because the arrow either disappears as the enderman teleports, or it gets deflected. Even while immobile, the enderman is immune to damage from arrows. However, an arrow shot from a bow enchanted with [[Flame]] can ignite the enderman.=== Crafting ingredient ==={{crafting usage|Bow, Damaged Bow}}=== Enchantments ===Bows can receive several different [[enchantment]]s and have a base enchantability of 1. Bow enchantments have no effect on [[arrow]] speed or the distance it travels. In [[Bedrock Edition]], if a bow is enchanted with any level 1 enchantment, it always gets Power I.{{verify|This used to be in the trivia section.

Its vertical speed is modified by one block downward every second, resulting in a {{w|Parabola|parabolic}} flight path. An arrow slows down if shot through water, reducing its damage to near zero unless brought back into the air or otherwise given momentum.{{Only|Java}}Arrows that hit solid [[blocks]] become stuck and can be retrieved, unless the arrow was shot by a bow [[enchant]]ed with [[Infinity]], a player in Creative mode, or a mob.An arrow shot through [[lava]] ignites, giving it the effect of the [[Flame]] enchantment, igniting any entity it hits. If not extinguished, the fire inflicts up to {{hp|4}} damage. Although a [[wither skeleton]] does not spawn naturally with bows, if it holds a bow then it also shoots flaming arrows.On impact, an arrow can trigger a wooden [[pressure plate]], [[target]] block, [[wooden button]], or [[tripwire]]. Arrows cannot trigger stone pressure plates or stone buttons.The player can choose the type of arrow to shoot based on its location in the inventory. Arrows in the off-hand, or the selected hotbar slot if the bow is in the off-hand, are prioritized first. If there are no arrows in the off-hand or selected hotbar slot then the arrow closest to [[Inventory#Slots|slot 0]] is selected.Arrows shot by bows in [[Bedrock Edition]] has a slightly higher range than arrows shot by bows in [[Java Edition]].==Sounds=={{edition|java}}:{{Sound table|sound=Arrow hit1.ogg|sound2=Arrow hit2.ogg|sound3=Arrow hit3.ogg|sound4=Arrow hit4.ogg|subtitle=Arrow hits|source=neutral|description=When an arrow impacts something|id=entity.arrow.hit|translationkey=subtitles.entity.arrow.hit|volume=1.0|pitch={{frac|12|11}}-{{frac|4|3}}|distance=16}}{{Sound table|sound=Bow shoot.ogg|subtitle=Arrow fired|source=player|description=When a bow shoots an arrow|id=entity.arrow.shoot|translationkey=subtitles.entity.arrow.shoot|volume=1.0|pitch={{frac|4|3}}-1.125 <ref group=sound>Depends on how long the bow has been charging. uncharged bows give {{frac|5|6}}-0.625</ref> |distance=16}}{{Sound table|sound=Succesfull Hit.ogg|subtitle=Player hit|source=player|description=When an arrow shot by a player hits another player|id=entity.arrow.hit_player|translationkey=subtitles.entity.arrow.hit_player|volume=0.18|pitch=0.45|distance=16}}{{Sound table|sound=Random break.ogg|subtitle=Item breaks|source=player|description=When a bow's durability is exhausted|id=entity.item.break|translationkey=subtitles.entity.item.break|volume=0.8|pitch=0.8-1.2|distance=16|foot=1}}{{edition|bedrock}}:{{Sound table|type=bedrock|sound=Arrow hit1.ogg|sound2=Arrow hit2.ogg|sound3=Arrow hit3.ogg|sound4=Arrow hit4.ogg|source=player|description=When an arrow impacts something|id=random.bowhit|volume=1.0|pitch=1.09-1.3}}{{Sound table|sound=Bow shoot.ogg|source=player|description=When a bow shoots an arrow|id=random.bow|volume=1.0|pitch=0.83-1.25}}{{Sound table|sound=Random break.ogg|source=player|description=When a bow's durability is exhausted|id=random.break|volume=1.0|pitch=0.9|foot=1}}==Data values=====ID==={{edition|java}}:{{ID table|edition=java|showforms=y|generatetranslationkeys=y|displayname=Bow|spritetype=item|nameid=bow|form=item|foot=1}}{{edition|bedrock}}:{{ID table|edition=bedrock|shownumericids=y|showforms=y|notshowbeitemforms=y|generatetranslationkeys=y|displayname=Bow|spritetype=item|nameid=bow|id=300|form=item|foot=1}}==Achievements=={{load achievements|Sniper Duel;Archer;Dispense with this;Bullseye}}==Advancements=={{load advancements|Take Aim;Sniper Duel;Bullseye}}==Video==<div style="text-align:center">{{yt|orNlaO12EQg}}</div>==History=={{History|java classic}}{{History||June 14, 2009|link=https://notch.tumblr.com/post/123343045/my-vision-for-survival|[[Notch]] discussed how bows and [[arrow]]s would work in [[Survival]] mode: "Bows and arrows can be made out of wood.

A banner can feature up to 6 different patterns. The top layer of a banner (or the last pattern added) can be washed off by {{control|using}} it on a [[cauldron]] containing water.Banners, much like signs, can be placed both on the ground facing in any direction, or on a wall. They gently sway as if affected by a breeze, regardless of dimension or location. Banners have no collision mask as they are completely non-solid, so [[entities]] can move through them.Other blocks (including other banners) can be placed on any edge of a banner's hitbox, which is only one block high despite the banner appearing as two blocks tall. This makes it possible to overlap another solid block on the top half of a banner for floor banners, or the bottom half of wall banners.When a banner is placed on the side of a block, its position is set by the top block, and it is possible to place it so it appears half buried.Banners can also be placed in [[item frame]]s, where they simply appear as their item model.[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around banners. {{IN|bedrock}}, banners can be [[waterlogged]].<gallery>File:Wall banner with water below.png| Water can be placed below wall bannersFile:Water flowing around banner.png| Water flows around a banner on the ground</gallery>Lava can create [[fire]] in air blocks next to banners as if the banners were flammable, but the banners do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods).

However, {{in|bedrock}}, the patterns can be made in a [[loom]] or a [[crafting table]].A banner can have more than six layers of patterns through the commands <code>/[[Commands/give|give]]</code>, <code>/[[Commands/setblock|setblock]]</code> or <code>/[[Commands/fill|fill]]</code>. This only works in ''Java Edition'', as Bedrock Edition doesn't have any NBT commands. Here is an example of a mining banner with seven different patterns. There is specific codes for the [[Banner#Item data:~:text=white-,Item,-In Java Edition|colors]] and [[Banner/Patterns|patterns]] that you have to input. <code><nowiki>/give @p white_banner{display:{Name:"\"Mining Industries Banner\""},BlockEntityTag:{Patterns:[{Pattern:"cr",Color:15},{Pattern:"bs",Color:15},{Pattern:"sc",Color:12},{Pattern:"ms",Color:0},{Pattern:"hh",Color:15},{Pattern:"bo",Color:15},{Pattern:"tts",Color:8}]}} 1</code>{{LoadPage|Template:Banner pattern loom recipes|Loom recipes|h4}}{{LoadPage|Banner/Banner pattern crafting recipes|Crafting recipes|h4|transcluded=1}}=== Renaming ==={{IN|java}}, a banner can be given a custom name that remains as the banner is placed and retrieved. The player can use an [[anvil]] to rename the banner item, or may change the <code>CustomName</code> tag using the {{cmd|data}} command on the banner block.=== Fuel ===Banners can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting 1.5 items per banner.=== Note Blocks ===Banners can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce "bass" sounds.== Sounds ===== Generic ==={{Sound table/Block/Wood}}=== Unique

uniquely crafted banners is 16 × (608<sup>0</sup> + 608<sup>1</sup> + 608<sup>2</sup> + 608<sup>3</sup> + 608<sup>4</sup> + 608<sup>5</sup> + 608<sup>6</sup>) ≈ 809 quadrillion - 809 with 15 zeros (809,573,616,779,945,488). The number of visually distinct banners is smaller, because one or more patterns may completely cover other patterns, or the entire banner, or be duplicated due to the symmetric set of patterns (e.g. field or (yellow) + per pale azure (blue) = field azure + per pale or inverted).** Not 38 patterns are available on BE, but 40 patterns of 16 colors each (640 uniquely-colored patterns), so the number is even greater. 16 × (640<sup>0</sup> + 640<sup>1</sup> + 640<sup>2</sup> + 640<sup>3</sup> + 640<sup>4</sup> + 640<sup>5</sup> + 640<sup>6</sup>) ≈ 1 quintillion - 1 with 18 zeros (1,101,232,303,249,827,856). This increases the number by almost 1.4 times, or almost 292 quadrillion, despite the addition of only 2 patterns.* If a banner has over 6 patterns, only the six bottom-most patterns are displayed when hovered over in the [[inventory]].* The Mojang logo is called "Thing" in-game, which could be considered an alternate translation for [[wiktionary:mojäng|mojäng]]. If [[wikipedia:Google Translate|Google Translate]] is used, it translates to "thingys" or "contraption".** In the Swedish translation of the game, this pattern is, in fact, called ''mojäng''.* [[List of block textures#Banner Textures|Banner textures]] are located in \assets\minecraft\textures\entity\banner.** There are 40 monochrome textures, each containing all 6 sides of the banner.** The texture of the back side is the mirrored texture of the front side.** Compared to the texture files, textures' colors are inverted in-game due to them acting as masks for the re-colored base texture, base.png. That means white is visible, while black is transparent.* Banners that have the purple NBT+ line in the bottom (obtained by holding Ctrl and middle-clicking the banner, which also copies the NBT [[tag]] of anything that the player points their crosshair to) actually have no difference with the base banner obtained by middle click.*The Illager Banner in Bedrock Edition is available as a separate item but is just a second variant of the white banner.**Standard variant of white banner is set to type 0.**Illager variant is set to type 1.== Gallery ==<gallery>Banners Jeb.png|The first image of banners, as tweeted by Jens Bergensten.Iceland and Norway Flags.png|Another banner image from Jeb.Searge Banners.png|Several banners made by Searge.The Bountiful Update.png|Banners in the official 1.8 poster.BannersBeforeAndAfter.png|An image, tweeted by Jeb, showcasing the changes he made to the banner color palette in the 1.12 update.Gradients Overlay.png|The result of using gradient different numbers of times, each time increasing the level of gradient by 1.All positions and rotations of a banner.png|All positions and rotations of a bannerItem Frame with Banner.png|A banner with the [[Mojang]] logo in an [[item frame]].EndCityBanners.png|Banners floating outside of an [[End city]] tower.Woodland mansion 1x2 d1.png|Banners hanging above the doorway of a [[woodland mansion]] master bedroom.Replaceitembanner.png|Banner put in the helmet slot by using the command {{cmd|replaceitem}}{{Only|BE}} or {{cmd|item replace}}{{Only|JE}}.Better Together Banners.jpg|Banners in ''Bedrock Edition''.Better Together Banner Crafting 1.jpg|A banner in the hand.Better Together Banner Crafting 2.jpg|A banner in the inventory.Better Together Banner Crafting 3.jpg|A banner in the crafting grid.Better Together Banner Crafting 4.jpg|A banner being given a pattern.</gallery>=== Renders ===<gallery>Ominous Banner.gifWhite Banner.gifLight Gray Banner.gifGray Banner.gifBlack Banner.gifBrown Banner.gifRed Banner.gifOrange Banner.gifYellow Banner.gifLime Banner.gifGreen Banner.gifCyan Banner.gifLight Blue Banner.gifBlue Banner.gifPurple Banner.gifMagenta Banner.gifPink Banner.gifOminous Wall Banner.png| White Wall Banner.png| Light Gray Wall Banner.png| Gray Wall Banner.png| Black Wall Banner.png| Brown Wall Banner.png| Red Wall Banner.png| Orange Wall Banner.png| Yellow Wall Banner.png| Lime Wall Banner.png| Green Wall Banner.png| Cyan Wall Banner.png| Light Blue Wall Banner.png| Blue Wall Banner.png| Purple Wall Banner.png| Magenta Wall Banner.png| Pink Wall Banner.png</gallery><gallery>File:Ominous Banner.gif|Ominous banner pattern in Java Edition.File:Ominous Banner BE.gif|Illager banner pattern in Bedrock Edition.File:Ominous Banner Revision 1.gif|Old Ominous banner pattern.File:Ominous Banner washing.gif|Washing with cauldron shows how to apply the ominous banner pattern.</gallery>=== [[Lego Minecraft]] Banners ===<gallery>File:Lego Red Creeper Banner Collage.jpg|Lego banners from 21127 and 21131File:Lego Melon Banner.png|Lego banner from 21138File:Lego Fish Banner.png|Lego banner from 21142File:Lego Beetroot Banner.png|Lego banner from 21144File:Lego Wheat Banner.png|Another lego banner from 21144File:Lego Carrot Banner.png|A third lego banner from 21144File:Lego Crossbones Banner.png|Lego banner from 21152File:Lego Green Creeper Banner Collage.jpg|Lego banners from 21155File:Lego Ominous Banner.png|Lego ominous banner from 21160</gallery>== References =={{reflist}}{{Blocks|Utility}}{{Items}}[[Category:Generated structure blocks]][[Category:Manufactured blocks]][[Category:Block entities]][[Category:Non-solid blocks]][[cs:Prapor]][[de:Banner]][[es:Estandarte]][[fr:Bannière]][[ja:旗]][[ko:현수막]][[nl:Banier]][[pl:Sztandar]][[pt:Estandarte]][[ru:Флаг]][[uk:Стяг]][[zh:旗帜]]</li></ul></nowiki>
