Maximum Flight Discrepancy
Anyone know what the actual maximum horizontal flight is if fired at an optimal angle? One paragraph says 120 blocks, another says 115. 207.219.69.229 05:46, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

-I'm not sure if anyone figured it out mathematically, and hand-testing is inaccurate because arrows have a built-in inaccuracy rating. For player fired arrows, it's 1; for skeletons it's 2, 5, or 10 for hard, normal or easy difficulty, respectively. Impossybull (talk) 17:24, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Arrows from skeletons never disappear!
Is this just in 1.7? I had problems on my server with arrows shot from skeletons never despawning and causing huge lag. Never seen this before. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.189.154.236 (talk) at 05:43, November 25, 2013 (UTC). Please sign your posts with
 * yep, I had the same problem in 1.7 - over 300 entities after i shut down skeleton grinder were arrows - had to destroy them block by block with lava –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 94.143.240.176 (talk) at 19:58, February 19, 2014 (UTC)‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with

Arrow Resistance
The article says: "If someone is hit by an arrow while they have the Absorption effect, the arrow will do no damage when the effect wears off." Does this mean that if someone ate an Enchanted Golden Apple, they would be immune to arrows? This would make snipers on factions invincible if they had a good supply of gold. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.131.161.180 (talk) at 21:48, 19 June 2015 (UTC).

 * I think it means that damage dealt to the player under absorption will not take effect after absorption end, like any other damage under absorption. As such, I would remove it unless someone else knows the reason it belongs. – KnightMiner  t/c 22:09, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Arrow of Water Breathing
Arrow of Water Breathing exists, but is not obtainable without commands. Use [/give @p minecraft:tipped_arrow 1 0 {Potion:"minecraft:water_breathing"}] to acquire one. I'm not sure if it should be added though. Firebastard (talk) 02:01, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Potion-Tiped arrows do not exist until 1.9, so no. The BlobsPaper.png 03:12, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Well; someone added all the rest. Firebastard (talk) 04:43, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
