Craft Your First Upgraded Bow

Gather Materials

Start by collecting the base materials for a Stone Bow: cobblestone, a vanilla bow, and Strong Stone. To make Strong Stone, combine planks (any type) with cobblestone at a crafting table.

Craft the Stone Bow

Arrange your materials in the crafting grid: cobblestone, vanilla bow, and Strong Stone. This creates your first material-based bow.

Progress to Better Bows

Once you have a Stone Bow, you can upgrade to an Iron Bow by crafting iron ingot + Stone Bow + Strong Iron. Strong Iron requires cobblestone and an iron ingot.

Continue this progression: Iron Bow → Golden Bow → Diamond Bow → Emerald Bow. Each tier requires the previous bow plus the corresponding material and "Strong" variant.

Apply Your First Upgrade

With a bow in hand, craft an upgrade. The simplest is Double Arrow Upgrade (arrow + Upgrade Plate). Upgrade Plates need Strong Iron and Strong Diamond.

Once crafted, open your upgrade inventory by pressing B, then click to apply the upgrade to your equipped bow. You can now fire two arrows per shot.
