Background

The Punch enchantment increases the knockback dealt when attacking a player or mob with your bow and arrow. This will cause the player or mob to repel backwards more than usual.

You can add the Punch enchantment to any bow using an enchanting table, anvil, or game command. Then use the enchanted bow to fight and see your enemies repell backwards when struck with the arrow!!

The maximum level for the Punch enchantment is Level 2. This means that you can enchant a bow with up to Punch II. The higher the level, the more powerful the enchantment.
