Some items are of great importance in games. Without them, it would be impossible for a player to exist in the virtual world. Such items include arrows in Minecraft. If a player runs out of arrows, there is a risk they might die as soon as a strong mob approaches them. Swinging a sword would be utterly useless.

We’ll discuss the types of this weapon, how to produce it, and the ingredients needed for crafting.

How to make an arrow in Minecraft: normal type

Before starting the crafting process, it’s necessary to stock up on all the required components. The image below shows everything a gamer will need for crafting.

Normal arrows are the ones users will use most often. This is great because the components listed above will yield four pieces of the necessary item. This means that a good stockpile of weapons can be created.

However, there are some issues associated with the so-called ingredients. The list includes feathers, obtained by killing chickens. It is unlikely that a user will have a farm with birds from which to "borrow" feathers at the start. And searching for chickens takes a long time, so you might resort to another method of obtaining a Minecraft arrow.

Killing a skeleton can help a gamer get two pieces (or one). It's beneficial if you have a weapon enchanted with Looting III. What's the advantage? The amount of necessary things found increases.

Don't like the method of killing skeletons? Well, there's another option — buying from a novice-level fletcher villager. The cost of this pleasure is 1 emerald.

However, let's return to the first option. Place all the necessary components in the crafting window in the order we will indicate: first goes the flint, below it the stick, and at the very bottom, the feather.

All this is combined to produce 4 pieces.

How to make an arrow in Minecraft: spectral type

The arrangement of the items is also interesting, resembling a cross. A regular arrow should be in the middle. It’s surrounded on all sides by glowstone dust. Below is a visual representation of the arrangement to avoid confusion.

The result is two pieces. But what’s the purpose of such a weapon? It creates a glow on the targeted object that lasts for ten seconds — an excellent option if you are in the dark. However, their damage is not particularly impressive.

There’s another way to acquire spectral arrows: trade with piglins in the Nether. Players have an 8% chance of receiving 12 pieces of the desired item. For the trade to occur, one must throw a gold ingot. The creatures will inspect the ingot and then hand over another thing.

However, users must adhere to so-called safety techniques. During the trade, it is better for the character to wear gold armor to avoid piglins' attacks.
