For other uses, see Flame (disambiguation).

Flame is an enchantment that causes bows to shoot flaming arrows.

Usage

Arrows shot from a Flame bow are on fire when shot, set fire to mobs they hit, and deal 4♥♥ fire damage over 5 seconds. Fire damage applies after initial damage, similar to Fire Aspect for melee weapons. Creatures killed by fire will not drop XP unless a player has dealt non-fire damage to it within the past 5 seconds.

Unlike flint and steel, flaming arrows affect only players, mobs, TNT, and campfires. No other blocks catch fire. For example, a flaming arrow shot into a tree will continue to burn without igniting the tree. Flaming arrows do not produce light.

Flaming arrows become normal arrows if fired through water or rain.

If commands or an NBT editor are used to increase the enchantment level beyond its normal limit of 1, the duration of the fire does not increase accordingly.
