Piercing is an enchantment applied to a crossbow.
Usage[edit]
Arrows shot from a Piercing crossbow can pass through level + 1 entities. The shot arrows can still be retrieved after piercing a mob, allowing for infinite use of all arrow types, including spectral and tipped arrows. Piercing ignores shields even when they are blocking.
Incompatibilities[edit]
Piercing and Multishot are mutually exclusive. However, if combined using commands, both enchantments function as normal.
