I think it would be great if flaming arrows were implemented as a crafting recipe. Imagine how awesome it would look like if a battle took place and there were loads of flaming arrows flying across the sky, just like in the movies. They could be used to iluminate distant places for a short period, such as a valley or a pitch dark pit. They would also light mobs on fire, just like sunlight. You could use them to light logs on fire as a protection for your home or fortress. It would be necessary to somehow make lighting stuff on fire harder, in order to prevent griefing. This could be done by, for example, setting a ignition probability to each block - wheat catches on fire much easier than a logs - or by limiting the flaming arrows' range more than the standard arrows'. This could alternatively be accomplished by making it harder to craft this kind of arrow.
So, what do you think? Good idea, bad idea, would it be to hard to prevent griefing... leave your thoughts below.
This is already in the game in a rare form. I had a Skeleton hopping after me shooting arrows when it landed in a pool of Lava. As it sat there burning, it kept shooting, only now the arrows were on fire, too, making the whole situation kind of scary.

Doesn't sound quite useful if you have to kill yourself in order to shoot flaming arrows.
True, but the audacity of a skeleton trying to crawl through lava after bursting through flames while still shooting arrows at you that ARE NOW ON FIRE makes the whole situation horrifying.
actually, if you shoot an arrow in a lava flow or a fire, It will turn into a "burning arrow".
It doesnt make anything. its just that the arrow is burning, like you would be burning after walking through a lava spring.

I was going to say this lol but a burning arrow gives off a little light when it lands and this way works to say I made a lava piller shooting an arrow through the piller will light it on fire like this. I do not think it will light a zombie on fire
you know what i want?
using flaming arrow to shoot it at the wall on the other side of the cave which will then act as a "temporary" touch, means it will burn out eventually.
and when it flies you could see what's is there at the place that was lightened up by the flying flaming arrows.
and yes crawling across a dark passage try to place touches is just scary as hell,
in fact the last twenty minute i died 4 times jtus trying to get across a dark room to place touches,
mods shows up, creeper gonna creep and hey there's one or two holes on the floor that i never knoew existed D: god damn i lost my diamond pickaxes
of coz notch will have to do soemthing about the light code for moving light source
We already have flaming dingle la dong dong arrows

I am just a guy looking for good suggestions that are original, creative, and match the theme of Mine-craft. I have some mob ideas that I need help forming which is a community project.
On top of making the arrows special, what if it were a special kind of bow as well? There could be flint and steel in the middle of the bow instead of a stick, and the arrows could have coal instead of flint. Also, the arrow could have a torch as the tip instead. Just an idea...
This is the part where I tell you your idea SUCKS.
Oh ya, you never make hostile posts!
I like the idea, but we already know that it is planned, and it's availadble in a lot of mods (This this isconstructive critiscism Ygdrasel, you don't have to be a jerk about it)

And you don't have to get butthurt over my posts. Telling someone their ideas suck is constructive: It lets them know they need to get back to the drawing board. Combat's already cheap as hell, there isn't any need to add more stuff to burn mobs alive with.

Arrow with torch instead of flint sounds good but flint'n'steel im middle of bow sounds wrong, cuz y'know, bow would also burn

You could use this for a cool trap. A lava fall with a dispenser concealed behind it. A pressure plate is steppe don, it triggers the hidden dispenser which fire the arrow. The arrow travels through the lava, thus being lit on fire itself, and hits the target. This is already possible, but I don't know if it lights the target on fire... but if this is implemented not only will it light the target on fire, it will actually make the dispenser an effective trap! YAY!
I think this is a fantastic idea, especially if a flaming arrow briefly produced enough light that you could use it for non-weapon purposes, such as determining how far down a dark shaft or cave extends.
