Quiver

The Quiver was an item previously used by skeletons and for holding arrows. This item has been removed from the game, probably due to the fact that arrows can be stacked up to 64 per inventory slot, making a quiver unnecessary. It can still be found as a sprite in the minecraft.jar file but is impossible to obtain and is currently useless. It is unknown if the quiver will ever return as a usable item in Minecraft or not, however this seems unlikely.

Trivia

 * In Legend of the Chambered (an abandoned RPG Notch made), there is a quiver item available to be picked up as loot.
