Usage

Firing

Using a bow fires an arrow from the player's inventory, and uses up the arrow. With no arrows, nothing happens.

A bow is not drawn back. It fires the moment it is used, and every arrow leaves at the same speed.

Holding the use button fires an arrow every 5 ticks, 4 a second. Each fresh click fires one at once.

Each arrow deals 4 damage.

A bow has no durability, and never breaks.
