About Minecraft bow names

A renamed bow is one of the few items in Minecraft that gets read by other people. Put it on an anvil, spend a few levels, and the new name shows in italics in your hotbar and, in Java Edition, in the death message: whoever you shoot "was shot by" you "using" whatever you typed. That is why the best bow names are either a threat or a joke, and why short ones land harder than long ones.

Most of this list plays on the enchantments. A bow can carry Power, Punch, Flame and Infinity, so you get Power Trip, Sucker Punch, Medium Rare and One Arrow Is Plenty. Infinity and Mending cannot share a bow, which is its own running joke (Should Have Picked Mending). Crossbows have Multishot, Piercing and Quick Charge, and those names lean on threes, skewers and reloads: Three for One, Mob Kebab, Locked and Loaded.

The rest comes from where bows come from and what they hit. Skeletons and strays drop them, pillagers carry crossbows, fletcher villagers sell both, and an enchanted bow can turn up on a fishing rod. You will also find sniper and PvP names for server play and a run of epic names in the game's own vocabulary, such as Endstring, Ghastbane and Warden's Whisper.

How to choose Minecraft bow names

Keep it short. The anvil's name box has a character limit, and a short name reads faster in the hotbar and in a death message, so three or four words is plenty.
Match the name to the enchantments. Knockback jokes such as Void Delivery Service suit a Punch II bow, cooking jokes suit Flame, and One Arrow Army only makes sense with Infinity.
Rename while you enchant. You can type the new name in the same anvil operation that adds a book, which saves a separate trip to the anvil later.
Think about who will read it. On a multiplayer server the name can show up in front of everyone, so pick something you are happy for the whole server to see and keep it friendly.
Give crossbows their own names. A Multishot crossbow loaded with fireworks deserves Firework Show or Grand Finale more than a general bow pun.

Frequently asked questions

How do I name a bow in Minecraft?

Place the bow in the first slot of an anvil, type the new name in the box at the top and take the bow from the output slot. It costs experience levels, and the cost is higher for a bow that has already been worked on an anvil several times. The renamed bow shows its name in italics.

What are good names for a Power V Infinity bow?

Pick something that points at the enchantments. From this list, Max Power, Power Five or Bust and Absolute Power cover the damage, while One Arrow Is Plenty, Bottomless Quiver and Infinity Plus One cover the arrow you never run out of. Epic names such as Endstring or Dragon's Bane fit a bow built for the End fight.

Do these names work for crossbows too?

Yes. About a tenth of the list is written for crossbows, with jokes on Multishot, Piercing and Quick Charge such as Three for One, Mob Kebab, Quick on the Draw and Bolt From the Blue. Most of the pillager, sniper and story names suit either weapon.

Can other players see my bow's name?

They can see it when you drop or trade the bow, when it sits in an item frame, and in Java Edition in the death message when you shoot someone with it. That last one is why names like Return to Sender and See You at Spawn work so well on servers.
