Background

The Multishot enchantment allows a player to shoot 3 arrows at a time but only 1 arrow will be used from the inventory (the cost is only 1 arrow and not 3 arrows with this enchantment).

You can add the Multishot enchantment to any crossbow using an enchanting table, anvil, or game command. Then use the enchanted crossbow to fight and see 3 arrows fly through the air at a time!!

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