I already know I'm going get some crap about "guns aren't supposed to be in minecraft", But they are LASER guns! You know, Starwars has laser guns and its still fantasy oriented pretty well. I still want to share my idea to the community and see what they think. They will also be pretty well balanced next to bows, making another projectile combat weapon because c'mon seriously, Minecraft could use some more weapons, All we have is a couple that are enchantable while only being one a projectile.
I saw some suggestion today and a couple were talking about rubies, but none were appreciated. Rubies would be so cool too, its like a needed missing mineral. I mean Mojang already thought about adding them but added emeralds instead. And right now the only challenging ores to find are diamonds and emeralds- and even those are easy to find to some people. Plus its called MINE-craft, We should add more ores for more mining purposes. The threads about rubies gave me this idea-
Ruby ore will be the next rarest ore in the entire game and can only be found in ore singularities like emeralds, except rubies in the nether are much more rare then emeralds in the extreme hills. They will be 10x more rare then emeralds! They will also add a new WEAPONS/ARMOR TIER!!!!! Na, just kidding!!!!!! :). They can only be mined with diamond pick-axe. It takes just as long to mine the ore as obsidian. Can be smelted into ruby and can be crafted into ruby block (for decoration) Each ruby ore has a detection radius of about 75 blocks. (more or less) So if any zombie pigman are in that radius, IN A SENSE- zombie pigman will know the scent of the ruby and will know if you mined it, or if you are possessing it, and they will become hostile to you including all the ones in the vicinity.
The laser gun: Fires a red laser similar to a red laser gun in star wars. It will have a sight and leave a block of fire wherever it hits! The laser gun is 1 round burst with 100% range and accuracy (except when hip firing, and laser disappears within your loaded chunks) and every shot can only be fired every .5 seconds and has a durability of 100 shots. Once out of durability, it will become a "empty laser gun" This can be simply repaired in a anvil. I already know your thinking, "that's way too OP!" that's why its only going to do 1/10 the damage of an arrow. Can be crafted with the following: glass plane on the right, ruby in the middle, redstone torch on the left, stick on bottom-left, and iron ingot on top (for a sight).
Whether you support or not, please share your opinions or improvement ideas!
It wouldn't be much of a challenge with laser guns, first of all. Minecraft isn't a futuristic game, it's just about surviving with basic items then getting better items. If they would add laser guns, then they would've added a lot more weapons to the game. 'Nuff said.
No, he means futuristic laser guns, like in Sci-fi, you know!
I know that. But still, saying Minecraft is based on "17th century stuff" is not accurate. The setting of Minecraft does not correlate to any point in actual human history. Rather it's meant to be a fantasy realm, similar to the games that inspired it. With its content being whatever Mojang feels would fit.
I doubt they'd ever want to implement things like lasers, but still, the point is that it's their world to do with what they will.

Minecraft is not medieval-themed!!! As a matter of fact, it doesn't have a set time. And when and WHY did putting reponses in the quote, especially long ones, become a trend in the Suggestions? It's rather inconvenient, mainly since the OP has to gather your quote up manually. Avatar made by Endergirl!
It's supposed to be old-timey, not futuristic and neon. Also, 1/10th of the damage of an arrow? I wouldn't even bother, except for making fire at long distances.That's like .25 of a hit point. Not that I agree with the idea, because I hate it. I'm sorry. Maybe if you suggested it to a mod developer or something. I would like that, but not in the default game. Also, make it more powerful if it's gonna be in a mod instead of the default game.

This isn't a mod; it's a suggestion for vanilla Minecraft.

Agreed with people saying Minecraft has no real life setting. The theme of Minecraft is "fun and balanced". That is it. No support to the idea, it doesn't fit either of those parts of the theme. It isn't balanced because by the OP's description it basically does 0 damage. It isn't fun because if firing it you can't kill anything and if getting shot you are constantly getting the hit knockback without ever getting hurt, which would be annoying. Also...
"Starwars has laser guns and its still fantasy oriented pretty well."
There are so many things wrong with this that even as a light SW fan who only knows the movies and games it makes me upset to read it. Star Wars* is not fantasy and it does not have laser guns. It is science fiction and has weapons that shoot plasma or high energy particles. Sorry but as a fan it hurt.

I think he was having a go at the suggestion like saying this isn't for vanilla like this is for a mod (i think)
Anyway why would you craft this when it's only 1/10th power of an arrow. I would rather use a wooden sword than this. And also wouldn't you think you need some type of ammo? Because the way you are stating is that you have unlimited ammo...
Congratulations! You just made a weapon that I won't even bother crafting.
Really? You expect some idiot to search for a mineral, that is 10 times rarer than emerald, in the freaking nether? Moreover, it's as hard as obsidian, a block that isn't mined as much as the other stone blocks because of the time needed to break it. Finally, after obtaining just one piece, ONE PIECE, of that stupid ore, a swarm of zombie pigman will swarm at you. Don't you realize how the nether is infested with tons of zombie pigmen? Running away from them is very annoying!
And here you're saying that the weapon that I can craft using a piece of ruby is weaker that a wooden sword. What a waste of time!
In general, when posting suggestions try to get to the point quickly instead of posting a ton of background information first (or put it in a spoiler).
ruby ore will be the next rarest ore in the entire game and can only be found in ore singularities like emeralds, except rubies in the nether are much more rare then emeralds in the extreme hills. They will be 10x more rare then emeralds! They can only be mined with diamond pick-axe. It takes just as long to mine the ore as obsidian.

By trying to not make this overpowered, you made it so extremely under powered that it's practically useless. The rarest mineral in the game, so rare that zombie pigmen will even fight you over it --- for a ranged punch?! An arrow does at most 4.5-5 hearts of damage, divide by 10 and you get .5 hearts, which is the same damage as a punch. Think about it - sticks, string, flint and feathers (components of bow and arrows) do 10 times more damage than rubies, redstone, glass, and iron. Even though this doesn't consume ammo and can be repaired, it's simply not worth it. And this is not even including the issues with adding futuristic lasers to Minecraft.
