Specify that iron swords, diamond pickaxes, iron axes, and bows get repaired when dropped or when the player picks one up. Since the player only needs one arrow because the bows are enchanted with infinite:1 arrows are also specified here. This prevents players from collecting huge stacks of arrows and spewing them all over on death. Repairing arrows instead of removing them also has the advantage of the player being able to accidental drop a arrow and not lose it.
