How to make fire/flaming arrows in Minecraft?

You cannot specifically craft fire arrows as we did for other types of arrows. Instead, you have to use a bow with flame enchantment. You can also shoot the arrow through lava to make it light up. If you know about Fire Charges that allow igniting things, it can also be used to flame arrows up. So, flaming arrows aren’t a thing yet. Hopefully, Mojang will add something cool like that soon.
