The Flame enchantment can be placed on any regular bow that a player has obtained throughout their journey in Minecraft.

Minecraft players who happen to not have a bow yet, can craft one with three pieces of string and three sticks.

The sticks can quickly be converted from wood planks from any variety of wood logs from trees. The string can be acquired by breaking cobwebs, killing spiders, and from chests throughout many types of hostile structures. These components then just need to be combined at crafting table in order to make a bow.

The Flame only has a single enchantment level, which is Flame I.

The enchantment will cause players to set their target on fire when they successful land a hit with one of their arrows. When an enemy has caught fire due to being struck by an arrow shot from a Flame bow, they will suffer 2 hearts worth of fire damage over five seconds.

This can come in handy, as a great way to deal additional damage to enemies by causing them to suffer damage by being on fire.

Unfortunately, flaming arrows will become normal arrows when encountered by rain or if the player tries to fire one through water.
