Guide
How to craft Tipped Arrow in Minecraft
-
1
Brew an Awkward Potion
Place a Nether Wart and a Water Bottle in a Brewing Stand to create the base Awkward Potion needed for any Tipped Arrow effect.
-
2
Add the effect ingredient
Brew the chosen ingredient (e.g. Spider Eye for Poison, Glistering Melon for Healing) into the Awkward Potion to make a standard Potion.
-
3
Convert to Splash, then Lingering
Brew Gunpowder into the Potion to make a Splash Potion, then brew Dragon's Breath into the Splash Potion to produce a Lingering Potion.
-
4
Craft 8 Tipped Arrows
Place the Lingering Potion in the center of a 3x3 crafting grid and surround it with 8 regular Arrows to receive 8 Tipped Arrows of that effect.
-
5
Fire with Bow or Crossbow
Equip a Bow or Crossbow and shoot the Tipped Arrow; the effect lasts roughly 1/8 of the corresponding drinkable potion's duration.
Infinity does not work with Tipped Arrows; each shot consumes one arrow from your inventory even with a maxed-out Bow.

Frequently asked questions
How do you craft a Tipped Arrow in Minecraft?
Place 1 Lingering Potion in the center of a 3x3 crafting grid and surround it with 8 Arrows. The recipe outputs 8 Tipped Arrows that inherit the lingering potion's effect.
Does Infinity work with Tipped Arrows?
No. Infinity only affects regular Arrows. Tipped Arrows are always consumed when fired from a Bow, even with Infinity V.
Can a Crossbow shoot Tipped Arrows?
Yes. Since Minecraft 1.14, any Crossbow can fire Tipped Arrows, and Multishot can launch three at once for stronger crowd control.
How long does the effect last on a Tipped Arrow?
The applied status effect lasts roughly 1/8 of the corresponding drinkable potion's duration — an Arrow of Fire Resistance gives about 22 seconds — so extended potions create longer-lasting arrows.
Where else can Tipped Arrows be obtained?
Master-level Fletcher villagers sell 5 Tipped Arrows for 2 emeralds plus 5 arrows. Strays drop Arrows of Slowness and Bogged drop Arrows of Poison when killed by a player, and Tipped Arrows also appear in trial chamber supply chests.
