I'm just thinking. Probably my worst idea ever, but I was just thinking to myself. What if the tools we have (shovels, axes, picks) could have bonuses in combat as well as bonuses against material? Of course swords are made for combat, so they should be the most powerful (damage wise). Axes could hit enemies farther (and off a cliff into a pit of lava), shovels can knock people silly (disrupt vision? Slow down?). As for the pick and gardening hoe... I have no clue, but I'm sure somebody can find a use for them combat wise. Bad idea? A good idea? I got hit too many times in the head with a shovel and now I'm thinking nonsense? :?
A pickaxe could be used for hindering their attack speed a little bit.
That suggestion is good, but I was thinking what if the pick damaged armor better? It could scare diamond padded players easily (they would want to protect their armor, since its valuable).

Best. Suggestion. Ever.
Feel the wrath of my shovel!
I don't think we should have elemental monsters though. Or even have these tool-weapons particularly useful in any area. It should just be for the awesomeness.

Choose your words wisely.
Defend your words flexibly.
Change your words fittingly.
Let prejudice, popular opinion, and preconception be free from your judgments.
Cmon, the other suggestions back there are decent but this? Why would anyone fight with a shovel? If notch is going to add flair to the combat system it should be by new weapons, not using your hand-me-downs.

An axe is a legit weapon.
And (irl at least) it would probably be easier to kill a giant spider with a pickaxe than a sword

I don't blame you, I just had the idea of a tool being used as a makeshift weapon. Pretty much every thing in the tool shed can be used like this :? . I even said it was probably awful. Besides, I'm sure there are more worse stuff out there in the suggestion box, guns probably being the worst of them all.

I had no idea this was true! I'm gonna go test it out soon.

Because a shovel can hit harder than your hand, that's why. Tools should do more damage than fists. Obviously less than an actual weapon, but there's no good reason that it should be just as easy to punch a pig to death as it is to bludgeon it to death with a shovel.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
