Bow Duplication Bug 1.8/1.8.1-pre3

Duplicate a bow with or without enchantments infinitely.

To replicate you'll need:

  • 1 zero durability bow to replicate (1 shot left)
  • 1 arrow
  • 1 dropper
  • 1 button/lever to fire the dispenser (or a redstone clock of some sort)

Steps:

  • Fire the bow and instantly change to a different slot. The bow should break but instead the object in the slot you changed to gets destroyed.
  • A red zero will appear on the lower right corner of the bow and it will appear to have been fully repaired.
  • Right clicking the bow or opening an inventory with it in the active slot will destroy it.
  • Put the bow in a dispenser or dropper.
  • Fire the dispenser/dropper and a fully repaired clone of the bow will fly out whilst the glitched bow stays in the dispensers inventory.
  • The red zero on the glitched bow increments to -1. Fire again it will say -2, again: -3 etc. This can be done indefinitely for unlimited bows.
