The Spectral Arrow in Minecraft is a special arrow with a unique property that allows players to mark enemies.

The Spectral Arrow allows players to grant glow status to the mob or entity hit for approximately 10 seconds. This effect creates a white or silver outline on the target, making it visible through blocks and structures.
This is a very useful tool for players as it can mark their target in the dark so that the player does not lose track of the mob being attacked. This can also be useful in dark mode PvP situations to help you track your enemies.
However, the arrow has some drawbacks. Enchanting a bow with infinity, which essentially gives unlimited arrows for one arrow in the inventory, always consumes the spectral arrows. This means that players will need to craft Spectral Arrows if they want to use them.
