when i first read this i thought you were being sarcastic. i don't use infinity on my bows* because i have a skeleton farm** so i have more arrows than i know what to do with! *a week ago i was "arguing" (you know --- reddit discussion) with some people on the benefits of mending vs. infinity on a bow. i was staunch in the fact that i never use infinity. infinity still requires you to carry 1 arrow (waste of inventory), so what's the difference if i'm carrying 1 arrow or 64 arrows? might as well use mending. it's not like i ever run out of arrows! fast forward to last night, when i've converted a nether fortress into a "wither skeleton hunting grounds". i've been spending a lot of time in the nether hunting skeleton heads, and let me tell you, i am burning through the arrows! i actually ran out of arrows on one trip, had to cut it short and head home to reload. i now appreciate the benefits of infinity. **it's not even a "skeleton" farm, it's just a general mob farm, but the thing collects so many arrows i have an entire double chest full of arrows (and one full of gunpowder, one full of zombie meat, etc) Can you get infinity on a bow in Minecraft?Infinity is an enchantment to bows that prevents regular arrows from being consumed when shot. One arrow is needed to use a bow enchanted with Infinity.
What are the chances of getting infinity on a bow?Using this data, and assuming an endless supply of unenchanted bows, the best level for Infinity is 20, since you have a 0.265% chance of Infinity per level.
