Punch

Punch is an enchantment for a bow that increases an arrow's knockback, much like the Knockback enchantment for melee weapons. This does not increase the damage of the bow.

Usage
For each level, Punch adds approximately 3 blocks of distance to the base knockback. If commands are used to increase the level of Punch beyond 2, the additional knockback effect will cap at 255.

Punch doesn't affect arrows shot from crossbows if applied using commands or an anvil in Creative mode.

Obtaining
Both Punch l and Punch ll books can be obtained by fishing or by using an enchanting table.

Punch l bow can be obtained by trading with a expert fletcher while both Punch l and Punch ll bow can be obtained by fishing in treasure category or by using an enchanting table.

Skeleton can spawn with Punch l bow on normal or hard difficulty, when killed by a player or player owned wolf skeleton has 8.5%(+1% for each level of looting) chance of droping it. Skeleton's bow can also be obtained if skeleton picks up another item.

Trivia

 * Before firework rockets were given the ability to propel the elytra in 16w50a, a bow with the Punch enchantment was used to shoot the player mid-flight, so as to provide forward momentum and gain altitude.
