Talk:Power

Power is retained underwater
In Bedrock Edition (1.16 and 1.17 as far as I know), you can shoot a Power-enchanted bow into the water from above, and even though the range is reduced, if the arrow even touches a mob at the end of its reduced range, the arrow still delivers the full impact of damage as if the water wasn't there. I have a Power IV bow that I have used to kill guardians with two shots each, just as I would for above-ground mobs. In taking over a nearby ocean monument, I first surrounded the gazebo at the top with sand, drained the water, then dug a hole to expose the guardian in the penthouse, and then I just needed to shoot it 4 times through the hole to kill it and collect the sponge it dropped.

Does anyone know if Java Edition also retains the power of an arrow shot at the end of its underwater range? Amatulic (talk) 19:19, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
