Minecraft: How to Repair a Bow

If you’ve ever been frustrated by breaking a valuable piece of equipment while exploring in Minecraft, you’re not alone. The bow is no different. If you’re curious about repairing a bow in Minecraft, look no further than this handy guide!

How to Make a Minecraft Repair Table for Bows

In order to fix your bow and other gear, you will need an anvil. To create your own anvil, you must gather enough iron ingots to form three blocks of iron (which totals to 27 ingots, as each block necessitates nine). Additionally, you will have four extra ingots remaining.

Although it may seem like a significant sacrifice, the anvil proves to be extremely valuable. It not only facilitates the repair of your weapons and other possessions but also enables the combination of enchantments and the renaming of items.

However, if you lack the motivation to create your own, you have the option to locate one in a neighboring village and simply extract it using your pickaxe. They will remain oblivious to the source of their loss.

Repairing a Bow in Minecraft

To repair a bow and preserve its enchantments, simply put the bow in the first slot of the anvil and add the corresponding material used to make bows in the second slot. The anvil will take care of the repair process for you.

Instead of gathering materials to fix a more powerful bow, you have the option to use a different bow instead, as they are easily obtainable.

By combining the enchantments of two enchanted bows using the anvil, you can create a more powerful weapon while also freeing up storage space.

Repairing your bow through the crafting table is an alternative option, but it is important to note that enchanted bows cannot be repaired using this method.

On the contrary, trying to fix it will result in a regular bow with slightly improved strength, which is not the most beneficial compromise.

How to Repair Infinity Bow

By applying the Infinity enchantment to your bow, you can utilize it without depleting any of your arrows. Essentially, this enchantment grants your bow an infinite supply of ammunition. However, it does come with a notable drawback.

If a bow possesses the Infinity enchantment, it cannot simultaneously possess the ‘Mending’ enchantment, which grants the ability to mend it using experience points. However, it is still possible to repair an Infinity Bow using an anvil, although the necessary materials will be considerably greater.

Each repair of the Infinity enchantment incurs a significant cost, which progressively escalates with each subsequent repair. Consequently, once you have repaired your Infinity Bow four times using a bow and an anvil, it becomes unfeasible to repair any further.

If you don’t want to bother carrying arrows, it’s best to create a new Bow and enchant it with Infinity. However, if it were up to us, we would simply add the Mending enchantment to a bow and craft the arrows, as the materials required for crafting them are quite common.
