Multishot
If the crossbow has the Multishot enchantment, some of the items make use of the functionality:
- TNT, Fire Charges, and Torches can shoot up to 3 of this item, taking 1 item from the player for each of these.
- Buckets of Fish/Axolotl will shoot 2 additional "dead" duplicates to the side, which disappear shortly after and are purely visual.
Spectral and Tipped Arrows
Besides normal arrows, some of the functionality of the special arrows works as well:
- Spectral Arrows: The glowing effect is applied to the launched entity.
- Tipped Arrows: The effect on the tipped arrow is applied to the launched entity, although this is only effective on a mob in a bucket.
Technical Details
The items as projectiles will copy the exact motion as the arrow would have had.
When shooting a torch however, the arrow will still be shot. If an entity is hit instead of a block, the arrow/torch will be lost.
