When used in Minecraft, spectral arrows have the ability to highlight enemies and players with a glowing effect. Spectral arrows can be the ideal tool for reliably monitoring a target regardless of line of sight or the number of nearby creatures.

When one of these arrows successfully hits a mob or another player, the target hit will be highlighted and glow. Players will be more able to stay focused on the target by doing this regardless of their surroundings.

Fortunately, acquiring spectral arrows in Minecraft is not that difficult. Some of these arrows can be made with just flint, sticks, feathers, and a little glowstone dust.

In order to create spectral arrows in Minecraft, combine an arrow with four glowstones at a crafting table. This will produce two spectral arrows. All around the Nether, glowstone blocks can be mined for glowstone dust.

Large clusters of glowstone are typically found on the bottom of ceilings or overhangs in the game. When these blocks are shattered, two to four glowstone dust will be released as a result.

In order to make spectral arrows, players also need arrows. Arrows can be acquired by killing skeletons or strays, purchased with emeralds from beginner-level fletcher villagers, or even discovered in some naturally formed chests.

Players can also make their own arrows with a bit of flint, a stick, and a feather. Feathers can be obtained from chickens and shipwreck map chests. Any type of wood can be rapidly transformed into sticks by cutting it into planks. When the block is mined, there is a 10% possibility that flint will be released instead of gravel.

Uses of Spectral Arrows:

In-game, spectral arrows have what appears to be a golden tip, and using them will assist players to keep track of the enemies they are facing. The glowing effect will appear once a spectral arrow has struck an enemy player or hostile mob.

Players who are battling someone who is attempting to flee from them may find this to be quite helpful. They will be able to be tracked by Minecraft players who were able to hit their target with a spectral arrow first. Regardless of line of sight, the player will be able to see where their target is running to thanks to the glowing effect that will highlight their target.

Even if a mob or other player were to flee and hide behind some blocks, their precise location would still be known. Due to the glowing effect, the hunter will be able to see exactly where his target is hiding among the blocks.
