'''Punch''' is an [[enchantment]] for a [[bow]] that increases an arrow's [[Damage#Knockback|knockback]], much like the [[Knockback]] enchantment for melee weapons. This does not increase the damage of the bow.

== Obtaining ==
Punch can be obtained from [[enchantment tables]], drops from mobs that have spawned in a [[raid]],{{only|bedrock}} books obtained by [[fishing]], [[monster room]] chests, librarian [[villager]]s, and non-village [[structure]] loot.

Punch I bows can be obtained by [[Trading#Librarian|trading]] with an expert [[Fletcher]].

[[Skeleton]]s may spawn with a Punch I bow on Normal or Hard difficulty.

== Usage ==
For each level, Punch adds approximately three [[Block|blocks]] of distance to the [[Damage#Knockback|base knockback]]. If [[commands]] are used to increase the level of Punch beyond 2, the additional knockback effect caps at 255.

Any level of Punch changes the vertical knockback of arrows from 0.8125 blocks to 1.25 blocks.

Punch also affects arrows shot from a [[crossbow]] if applied using [[commands]] or an [[anvil]] in [[Creative]] mode. Punch has no effect on [[firework rocket]]s fired from a crossbow.

== Trivia ==
* Before [[firework rockets]] were given the ability to propel the [[elytra]] in [[16w50a]], a [[bow]] with the Punch enchantment was used to shoot the [[player]] mid-flight, so as to provide forward momentum and gain [[altitude]].
