This page describes content that exists only in outdated versions of Minecraft.
This feature used to be in the game but has since been removed.
The Quiver is a sprite in Minecraft's game files. It has no actual item in-game and thus impossible to obtain. It is unknown if the quiver will ever appear as a usable item in Minecraft or not. Jeb has confirmed on his talkpage that he is not planning to add quivers while Notch, on the other hand, might still be planning to implement them.
The Quiver sprite has been in the file since the Indev phase. A possible planned use for the Quiver may have been to hold more than 64 arrows in a single slot.
Trivia
- In Legend of the Chambered (an abandoned RPG Notch made), there is a quiver item available to be picked up as loot. Notch reused the sprite from there for Minecraft.
