Is it possible to collect arrows as items automatically?
I'm trying to send a signal (only occasionally) across a wide chasm to a floating island, without connecting anything directly to it (which rules out simply running redstone to it). I'm thinking one way to do it might be with arrows: if I can shoot an arrow far enough, I can detect it with a pressure plate or tripwire.
I'd prefer not to have to refill the dispensers with arrows. Is it possible to collect the shot arrows as items and hopper them into a chest?

Can you pick up your arrows Minecraft?
Arrows shot by players can generally be picked up. An arrow cannot be picked up if: It is shot by a Creative mode player. It is shot by any mob able to shoot arrows, such as skeletons, strays, pillagers, or piglins.Can a hopper pick up arrows?
Pretty self-explanatory. If an arrow lands on the open-end of a hopper, the hopper picks it up as an item and funnels it into whatever it's connected to.How do you make a dispenser shoot arrows?
You can't actually pick them up and put them in your inventory, but you can still use them. You could make a cannon with slime blocks and TNT. When you shoot the arrows (or make the skeleton shoot arrows) into a slime block, then push the slime block up with a piston, the arrows will fly into the air.How many Riot Shields does it take to stop Arrows ?
