Background

The Infinity enchantment allows you to shoot your bow without using up any of your arrows.

TIP: This enchantment only applies to arrows. It does not give you infinite spectral arrows or tipped arrow.

You can add the Infinity enchantment to any bow using an enchanting table, anvil, or game command. Then use the enchanted bow to fight and shoot arrows to your heart's content. You will never run out of arrows again!!

The maximum level for the Infinity enchantment is Level 1. This means that you can only enchant a bow with up to Infinity I, and nothing higher for this enchantment.
