Last updated
Ever wondered how to make a bow in the wonderful world of Minecraft? You’ve come to the right place!
Let’s dive straight into how you can create a bow, an essential tool for defending yourself and hunting in Minecraft.
Quick Guide to Crafting a Bow
To craft a bow in Minecraft, you need 3 sticks and 3 strings. Position them in the crafting table with the strings in the rightmost column and the sticks forming an arrow shape towards the left.
This setup is super easy once you get the hang of it! Sticks come from wooden planks, which you can make from any wood block. Strings, on the other hand, might need a bit of monster hunting, as they’re often dropped by spiders.
