How to Make a Bow in "Minecraft"
- 1). Obtain sticks. These can be crafted right in your inventory grid by placing two wooden planks in your two-by-two grid vertically. If you do not have wooden planks, chop down a tree and place the logs in any single square of your crafting grid.
- 2). Obtain string. If you are playing on Peaceful mode, the only way you can get string is by stumbling upon a dungeon randomly. Otherwise, wait until nighttime and defeat enemy spiders. Each spider drops zero to two pieces of string at a time.
- 3). Right-click your crafting table for the three-by-three grid to appear.
- 4). Fill the first column of squares with pieces of string. You will need three pieces of string to do this.
- 5). Fill the second column of squares with sticks, leaving the center square empty. Place a stick in the center square of the third column, causing a picture of a bow to appear in the side.
- 6). Click the bow and place it into your inventory.
