How To Use

To fire a Bomb Arrow, the player must hold a bow in one hand and the Bomb Arrows in the other. Once the player shoots with the bow hand, it will use a Bomb Arrow.

Weapon Use

When used as a weapon, the Bomb Arrow will deal 5 full hearts (20 hitpoints) of damage to any mob or player that is standing in point-blank range. Furthermore, it will release smoke particles, and has a knockback effect of 1-2 blocks. You cannot, however, hit a mob with the arrow itself, as it will bounce off.

Tool Use

When used as a tool, the Bomb Arrow can destroy Cracked Cobblestone and Cracked Stone, at a range of up to 3 blocks, depending on where it sticks when fired. It is very useful when a player is required to blow up blocks or mobs that are high up, or at a distance from the player.
