In Minecraft, I nock arrows at the slightest provocation or thought of danger. As a result, I frequently have a nocked arrow and don't need to fire it. I don't want to waste it, but I don't like my current method of firing at my feet.

How can I un-nock an arrow?

Simply choose a different item in your inventory.

Either select another item/tool or fire the arrow into the floor/ceiling/wall near you and pick it up.

  • The issue is that there is a chance the arrow will be destroyed on contact.

    Arrows are only destroyed by hitting entities. As long as you're aiming at a block, you can always pick up the arrow again. On the other hand, it does wear out the bow.

Simply scroll with your mouse while still nocking the arrow (holding the mouse button): this will select a different item in your inventory.
