Sizes and quality

The Arrow texture is 16×16 pixels in game. Here it scales by multiplying each pixel by a whole number, so at 1024 px every pixel is a perfect square and the edges stay sharp. No interpolation smudging the pixel art.

Minecraft arrows: when you can pick them up and when not

The arrow is ammunition for bows, crossbows and dispensers, and the base for spectral and tipped arrows. It is crafted from flint, a stick and a feather, and makes four.

The most common question is why some cannot be picked up. In Survival you cannot collect arrows shot by mobs, such as skeletons, pillagers or piglins, arrows fired from an Infinity bow, or the two extra arrows from a Multishot crossbow. Arrows stuck in a player cannot be recovered either. A tipped arrow that spends 30 seconds in the ground turns into a normal arrow and can be picked up as one.

There are other ways to get them besides crafting. In Java the village fletcher gifts them if you have Hero of the Village, and in Bedrock piglins barter 6 to 12 at a time for gold.

A curious detail: a crossbow fires the arrow a bit faster than a bow with the same inaccuracy, so proportionally it is more accurate. Shots at critical charge also leave a trail of particles.
