Feather

Feathers are items dropped from chickens (Mobs spawned randomly in The Overworld) when they die. The only use for feathers at the moment is to make arrows to shoot from a bow. Chickens drop 0-2 feathers upon death.

History
Feathers were introduced in Indev on February 19, 2010. In previous versions, Zombies dropped feathers, instead of Rotten Flesh. Now, chickens are the only source of feathers for use. Feathers cannot be eaten.

Appearance
Feathers have been mistaken for knives due to their apparent "handle" and by the fact that zombies used to drop them.
