Swords, swords, swords... I'm sick of swords as the only weapon available in minecraft, don't get me wrong, they serve their purpose and all, but c'mon out of all the variety of melee weapons available, why only stick to the cliche swords?
My suggestion is add wide variety of weapons not only to satisfy all tastes, but to make close combat a better experience and add weapons that actually have unique properties on their own.
FOR ALL ILLUSTRATIONS: = The five basic materials (Wood, stone, iron, gold and diamond)
Battle Axe/Double Axe
[] []
This axe is not for chopping wood... well... it can chop wood like a standart axe, but this one main purpose is to chop the heads of your enemies. While is stronger than the regular sword, its clumsier and won't last as much as the sword, but it'll deal a whole lot more damage every hit. While it can chop wood quickly, i would not recommend this weapon for such task as it will degrade quite quickly...
The zweihander is a huge weapon that must be carried using both hands... While the damage its done by this sword is tremendously high, it is a huge and very clumsy weapon that slows you down while being carried. Not only does it slows your walking speed down, but it slows your swings with it.
Spear
[] []
[] [] [] []
Spears are basic weapons for guarding, they won't last very long but they will increase your attack range by one block. A very useful tool to keep enemies at distance or to attack from safe areas (behind a fence).
Dagger
[] [] []
[] []
[] []
The dagger is the cheap alternative for the sword, they last very little and do slightly less damage than the sword, but they can be very easily produced (specially early game) since they can be made in a 2x2 crafting grid.
Katar
[] [] []
The katar is a weapon specially designed for assassination, its light and can pierce through any armor. On itself, the katar is no different than the dagger, except for the fact that it lasts a bit longer. The main focus of the katar is that it can be used to do massive damage on unexpected enemies, in other words, it lets you perform a Sneak Attack.
Katana [] []
[] []
[] []
The is basically a curved sword. There is not much difference from a Katana to a sword, except it lets you swing a little faster at the cost of a little durability.
Please, comment If you like this idea or not. I need your comments to live...
Love the idea, hope to see someone finish it. Weapons was something that I wished Minecraft would/could grow on, good luck. Maybe different variations of weapons to, just to give people more.

And i just mentioned a few that i remembered just now (or the ones i actually care most likely)...
Also it would be cool if they all have different speeds and power in accordance to how much it costs to make them.
Like the two-hander would cost a bit more to make, but be much more powerful and a bit slower.
A dagger would cost less but be less powerful.
Katana would be faster but less powerful
etc...
Great idea, I was hoping there would be more added to the combat aspect of minecraft.

If you notice, the dual handed weapons have a cost of 4 materials and are all slow but deal huge damage. I tried to keep a balance between cost and damage when i thought of this idea... If you look at the spear, it is compensated by the fact it would last a little.
Sounds exactly like runescape except the 2h which is called the twohander(zwei is german)

I'm sure there's nothing on earth more satisfying than the sound of a double-headed diamond axe splitting a creeper in twaine. Good idea, I'd love to see this mod implemented somehow
Ill make :biggrin.gif: Ill call it Weaponz or something :wink.gif:
Maybe ill make it realistic? First craft the handle (3 steel) then the blade (2 dimands for long blade) then do:
BLADE
HANDLE
Thanks for posting people... your comments makes me stronger... when you comment i capture a little part of your souls inside a bottle, that way i can satisfy my never ending hunger for souls...

...Anyways, here are my responses.

If you made it I would DL it.
I've dealt with codding before and its a b*tch, my brain is not big enough to comprehend such language... or im simply a total idiot, pick your favorite choice.

i would love to see this also add shields and shields with spikes
I was going to suggest shields... BUT the extended 2x2 crafting grid already suggest shields... so... i'd rather leave it at that...

Yes... zweihander literally means two handed (i think)...
Quote from twilightking »
hopefully some modder may decide to implement this soon.
Hopefully...
Quote from Kira »
I wouldn't mind Katars.
Thats really good... it would be hurtful for me if you mind since Katars are my favorite weapon ever...

Or just do it minecraft style?
If you can make it... good... With the idea im putting here im trying to stick to the "traditional" way of creating weapons (AKA a bunch of sticks plus a bunch of materials equals something)...
I don't mind the "blade & handle" thing, but it seems it would get complicated with weapons with special handle like spears, katars or war axes.
I'm always down with mods that make me make more sprites, but I kinda think we should stick to only the top 3 minerals (iron gold and diamond)... wood battleaxe...?

Yeah, i think the two handed weapons would require a sturdier material in order to be properly used... Wood battle axe does sound silly...

Yeah, thats the idea... To make combat a more versatile experience instead of "diamond sword wins"...
