How can I remove arrows stuck in a player?
When I am shot by an arrow in Minecraft, my avatar now has an arrow sticking out of me which hangs around for a while before disappearing. This is fine right now, but when I am trialing one of my redstone arrow traps, my MC avatar can look a little like this:
Now I don't care about this when in singleplayer, because they don't block my vision when in 1st person. But I'm going to go into multiplayer soon, and having a bunch of arrows in my body will make me look hideous, and I'll be the laughingstock of all my friends if they see my with all these arrows.
I'd like any solution, whether it involves commands or glitches, or some hidden hack that I didn't know of, to get rid of these horrid arrows stuck in my body on my command, or better, to stop them from getting stuck on me in the first place!
Past trials
Could killing the arrow entities work?
/kill @e[type=arrow]
Could clearing my inventory work?
/clear @s arrow
/clear @s

I think the easiest way around this is by having gamerules doKeepInventory and doImmediateRespawn set to true, and then a command block set your spawn where you are standing ex:
/execute at @p run spawnpoint @p ~ ~ ~
then another with
/kill @p
This should kill you, thus removing the arrows, but have no actual downsides. Not sure if the writing for these commands are 100% accurate. I don't have them memorized
-replace @p with your minecraft username or any selector

I did a bit of testing, and it appears that the arrow consistently disappears at 580 ticks (29 seconds), which is lower than a normal arrow's despawn time of 2 minutes.Retrieving A Stuck Arrow Without Damage

it disappears after a while. you can die on purpose somehow and respawn, and the arrows will disappear when you will have respawned.
Answer 3
In 1.14+, if a player gets shot with an arrow that has PierceLevel:1b tag, the arrow won't be in the player model. Maybe that could help.
Answer 4
Now this might sound stupid and strange but if you have a lava block with a respawn point right next to it you can die and respawn and the arrows will disappear
Answer 5
You can't do anything about it actually and most players don't care you have arrows because it just shows a player fought you or you got attacked by a skeleton they will disappear after a bit and that's all you can do wait for it
