Usage
Amethyst bows are high-damage ranged weapons that have an effect similar to Minecraft's Infinity enchantment - allowing players to shoot endless arrows. However, unlike Infinity the Amethyst bow does not require a player to have at least one arrow in their inventory for the effect to work.
To shoot an arrow, draw the bow back by holding right-click. A fully-charged arrow (drawn back for around 3 seconds) deals more damage than one that is shot quickly (not fully charged).
Amethyst bows do not currently use special/potion effect arrows. Having one in the player's inventory will not be used, nor will the arrows shot have any additional effects or damage.
