A spectral arrow is a type of arrow that inflicts the Glowing effect on hit in addition to dealing damage.

Obtaining

[edit | edit source]

Picking up arrows

[edit | edit source]

Similarly to regular arrows, players can pick up spectral arrows that have been shot by dispensers, or other players in Survival or Adventure mode. Unlike regular arrows, spectral arrows shot by an Infinity-enchanted bow can be picked up, as they are not affected by the enchantment.

Bartering

[edit | edit source]

Spectral arrows can be obtained through bartering with piglins, which has a 40⁄469 (~8.53%) chance to give the player 6-12 arrows.

Usage

[edit | edit source]

Spectral arrows share many of the same characteristics as regular arrows as projectiles. See Arrow#Common properties for information on common properties shared by all arrows.

Special properties

[edit | edit source]

A spectral arrow confers the Glowing status effect for 10 seconds. The Glowing effect creates an outline of the target, which is visible through blocks, and colored based on the target's team (white by default). Even if a bow is enchanted with Infinity, spectral arrows are still consumed.

Sounds

[edit | edit source]
This section would benefit from the addition of more sounds.
 
Please remove this notice once you have added suitable sounds to the section.
The specific instructions are: picking up sound

Java Edition:
In Java Edition, spectral arrows use the Friendly Creatures sound category for entity-dependent sound events.
