Frequently asked questions

How do I craft a Torch Bow?
Combine a regular bow with flint & steel in a crafting table. This creates your Torch Bow, which you can then use to shoot torches from your inventory.
What do I need in my inventory to shoot torches?
You need actual torches in your inventory—the Torch Bow consumes them when you fire. The bow will not work if you have no torches available.
Can I shoot multiple torches at once?
Yes, you can combine multiple torches into a multi-torch stack before firing, which allows you to shoot several torches in a single shot for faster area lighting.
How many torches does the bow fire when I shoot a multi-torch?
The bow fires multiple torches at once depending on how many you've combined, making it much faster to light large areas compared to placing torches individually.
Do torches placed by the Torch Bow stay where they land?
Yes, torches shot from the bow place themselves on the ground at the impact location, just like torches you'd place by hand.
How do I repair my Torch Bow?
Use an anvil and combine your damaged Torch Bow with flint & steel to repair it, similar to repairing other tools.
Can I use the Torch Bow with a regular vanilla bow?
No, the Torch Bow is a separate item you craft specifically for shooting torches. Regular bows still only fire arrows.
Will torches shoot through walls or obstacles?
Torches place on impact, so they will land on the first solid surface they hit—they don't pass through blocks.
Does the Torch Bow work underwater or in other dimensions?
The Torch Bow functions like a regular bow in most situations, though torches may not stay lit or behave normally in water; test placement in your specific environment.
Is there a limit to how many torches I can combine?
You can combine torches to create multi-torch stacks, but stack size follows standard Minecraft inventory rules for the items you're combining.
