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[edit]
For each level, Punch adds 3 blocks of distance to the base knockback. The effect caps at 255, if commands are used.
