Punch

Punch is a bow enchantment that dramatically increases arrow knockback distance, making it valuable for tactical combat and crowd control situations. This useful enchantment can be obtained through enchanting tables, villager trading with expert fletchers, fishing, and loot chests found in various Minecraft structures.

Punch comes in two levels, adding approximately 3 blocks of knockback distance per level to the base 2-block knockback. Punch II can send enemies flying up to 9 blocks away, while also increasing vertical knockback from 0.8 to 1.25 blocks for enhanced aerial displacement.

This enchantment excels in defensive scenarios, cliff combat, and environmental kills where pushing enemies into lava, water, or off ledges provides strategic advantages. Punch proves particularly effective against melee mobs like zombies and spiders, creating safe distances for continued ranged attacks. The enchantment works on crossbows when applied through commands, offering versatile crowd control options.
