Sizes and quality
The Bow 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.

Open in the icon editorThe Minecraft bow: critical charge, damage and enchantments
The bow is the basic ranged weapon: crafted from three sticks and three string, it fires normal, tipped and spectral arrows. You need at least one arrow in your inventory, and arrows inside a bundle do not count. While drawing it you move at sneaking speed.
Damage depends on how far you draw it. Holding it for a second or more gives critical charge: the bow shakes slightly and the arrow leaves a particle trail. Strength and Weakness do not affect arrows, and bow enchantments change damage but not the arrow's speed or range.
Some targets cannot be hurt with arrows: endermen dodge them, the breeze deflects them, the wither below half health is shielded and a closed shulker takes no damage either. An arrow that passes through lava catches fire, as if the bow had Flame.
Skeletons, strays, bogged and parched sometimes drop their bow, 8.5% of the time, and fishing can pull up an enchanted one, possibly with Mending. Two bows combine at an anvil, keeping the enchantments of both.
