QuestionDoes shooting a mob with a flaming arrow set it on fire, or does it just give you cooked item drops?Seasalt25Top AnswererShooting a mob with a flaming arrow does both. Shooting mobs with a flaming arrow, as long as they are not immune to fire or they are not in water, will set them on fire. If you shoot a mob that drops meat and it dies of fire damage, the meat will be cooked.

QuestionHow do you craft a flame book?Seasalt25Top AnswererYou cannot craft a flame book or any other enchanted book. However, there are other ways to get one. You can use an enchant table surrounded by 15 bookshelves to enchant a book and possibly get the flame enchant. You can trade with librarian villagers to get a flame book if that trade is part of their available ones. You can find one in chests found in strongholds, dungeons, mineshafts, temples, and other structures you would normally find loot in. Or, if you have the time, you can try to fish to get one, although it is rare and not guaranteed to be a flame book every time.

QuestionWhy can't you enchant arrows?Seasalt25Top AnswererYou can't enchant arrows because enchanted arrows are not in the game. However, there are tipped arrows, which are arrows that, upon hitting a mob, give that mob the potion effect it is made with. These arrows will not be flaming arrows unless you shoot them using a flame bow.

QuestionHow do you get anvil on Xbox 360?Seasalt25Top AnswererYou can get an anvil through crafting. You need 3 iron blocks and 4 iron ingots for this. You put the 3 iron blocks in the top row of the crafting table, 1 iron ingot goes in the middle of the middle row, and the last 3 iron ingots go in the bottom row. This will make an anvil.
