DEVICE: Samsung Galaxy Tab A

When you apply the Flame enchantment to a bow, mobs don't get lit on fire when you shoot them with it. (Other enchantments may also not be working)

Update by Mega_Spud
Bows seem unaffected by

  • Power
  • Punch
  • Flame

Infinity does work however

Appears fixed in 0.17.0.2

I guess Power enchanted not really power.

Comment by carra reithmeier [ 23/Oct/16 ]

only bow enchantments I've noticed working are infinity maybe punch. because I don't run out of arrows and they get knocked back but I also have flame and power 5. no fire and take a at least 3 arrows to kill a mob that took 1 before update 0.16.0
