]" title="-<->" /> The Main Idea: The New Firing System
Now, this means that there are more arrows in game, so how does you bow know which to fire? And this is where the next idea comes in. The BOW can be anywhere in your inventory, similiar to how you can currently have arrows anywhere. Then, you put the ARROWS in your quick select! So you choose which stack to fire arrows from. If you have normal arrows in your quick select and a bow in your inventory, you'd fire those arrows. If you didn't have a bow, however, the player would simply appear to be holding the arrow.
]" title="-<->" /> New Arrows!
This allows for many other types of arrows to be implemented, such as:
Burning Arrows
These would be arrows crafted as usual, except with a wool block or a piece of paper on the end of the arrow instead of flint. This arrows would be on fire, and would set mobs on fire. Perhaps they'd need to be ignited, somehow (via holding a F&S, smelting, crafting with F&S, etc).
Light Arrows
Crafted with Lightstone dust instead of the usual flint, these arrows would give a little bit of light to their surroundings. This allows the player to light up the bottom of caverns, light up areas out of reach, check ahead for a safe path when travelling at night, etc.
Elite Arrows
Currently, weapons and tools have a number of levels. Wood, stone, iron, gold and diamond. The bow, however, has only the one arrow. To achieve a similiar thing with arrows, most threads suggest that the arrow head be swapped out for another. However, I suggest that the TAIL of the arrow be swapped out! This is where birds come in. Birds would fly overhead, as birds do, kinda ambient creatures. They'd spawn layers 72+, where there is open sky and light. If you manage to shoot a bird down, you'd get a special feather. This feather would be used to create special arrows that fire further, straighter and faster than the current arrows. So, this is another type of arrow that would be fired with the above system!
ya so in theory I think this this should be on one of those threads, much more likely to be acknowledged. I have used one of those mods and would definitely support you

Well, the main idea here is the new firing system that doesn't really link with other threads. The New Arrows, however, probably could, but they're just to complement the idea.
Thanks for the support, guys!

Don't like the others?
The main idea is the firing system.
