I am completely aware that this has already been suggested in previous thread(s). This is just improving/modifying the idea a bit.
So this one day, I was bored, so I searched up obsidian on the wikipedia. I never knew obsidian was real before, so I read some of it. It turns out, obsidian is really sharp and was used for arrowheads in the past. It even says; "Obsidian was valued in Stone Age cultures because, like flint, it could be fractured to produce sharp blades or arrowheads." So, I started thinking; what if Notch could make obsidian arrows?
How to Create Them
Well, for my idea, to create an obsidian arrow, you would first have to smelt it to make refined obsidian.
This would take a reasonably long amount of time, since obsidian is so hard to mine in the first place. Smelting one obsidian block only gives you 1 piece of refined obsidian, or else it would be too easy to obtain. Once you have one piece of refined obsidian, you just craft the arrow the same way you craft normal arrows, except replace the flint with Obsidian.
This creates the same amount of arrows as the regular kind; four.
Special Uses
1. Instead of dealing 2 damage like regular arrows, these would do 4 damage.
2. After you shoot them, you have a 75% chance to get them back.
3. Instead of just stopping when they hit one enemy, they can pierce multiple enemies.
However, once the arrow has gone through one mob, it does only 1 heart's worth of damage to all remaining mobs in the way. (I apologize for my horrible drawing skills.)
4. (Extra) Maybe it could have the special ability of... 1 hit killing Creepers?
Anyways, it took me quiet a while to make this thread, so if you like this idea you can copy this into your signature.currently broken
This would be a nice alteration to my post about Expanding Bows and Arrows, where I have mentioned obsidian arrows that deal greater damage, but no really unique perks and I only had them crafted as:
[] []
[] []
[] ]" title="-<->" /> []
This could be another addition to my idea, or a replacement all its own. Not to sound 1-uping your idea does make more sense by having a sharp point.
On second thought, don't. I want to thieve that one...
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *Runs away with idea*
But as far as the arrows, why not bump the others instead of creating a new thread? And I do somewhat support this, just not the pick-up after shot into an enem(y/ies).

Smelt obsidian to turn it into refined obsidian sound weird to me, you don't need to smelt it you only need to break it into sharp pieces. Maybe only put it into the crafting slot the it'll turn into few obsidian shard (2-3). This'll make the obsidian arrow easy to make so the the recipe would give only one arrow.

Are there a limit how many mobs it can shoot through?

I APPROVE!
Ah hell, I guess it's okay as long as this one doesn't just sink. I'll add it to the list since you made a banner for it and everything. :3
As for the OHKing Creepers? No. It's a bit iffy that it only kills THEM in one hit.
Except this idea is NOT that idea. :/
