	A '''bow''' is a [[Minecraft:Ranged attack\|ranged]] [[Minecraft:weapon]] that can fire [[Minecraft:arrow]]s, [[Minecraft:tipped arrow]]s, and [[Minecraft:~~Spectral Arrow\|~~spectral ~~arrows~~]]{{Only\|java}}. The damage and range of fired arrows depends on the arrow type, [[Minecraft:enchantment]]s on the bow, and how long the {{Control\|use\|text=use button}} was held before releasing.
