Here are my ideas for new weapons. I've tried to keep them as simple as possible, and put a lot of work into comping up with them, so please give feedback!
Firstly, bow has a max fire rate of 1 shot every 1/4 second.
Nest of Bees
A Nest of Bees is crafted like so:
[>>-i>]
It uses 1 gunpowder and 16 arrows each shot, and takes a full second to reload. It fires all 16 arrows at once, thought they can be up to 30 degrees off your target, so the farther away you are, the more spread out the arrows are. Each arrow does 1.5 damage. However, if more than 1 arrow from a shot round hits a target, they all do damage, with only normal invincibility time, but knockback that stacks.
Reed Gun
The reed gun is made like this: =sugar cane/bamboo/reeds
This has a max fire rate of 1 shot every 1/3 second. Each shot takes 1 bullet pack, and does 4 damage. However, it can hit anywhere within 10 degrees of where the player was aiming.
Bullet packs
=4 bullet packs. Used to fire the reed gun, and any other firearms.
Landmines
Land mines are explosive weapons crafted as thus:
The grass represents any block you want to use to disguise it (sand, dirt, stone, gravel, cobble, etc). Note that if dirt is used, it will have the look of grass. The look will only be on the top--the sides and bottom will have the look of tnt!
Landmines will only explode with 1/10th of tnt's power. However, they will do 9.5 damage to the person who triggered it, with damage spread similar to tnt.
Underground Sky-Soaring Thunder
An upgrade of the landmine, the underground sky-soaring thunder (or usst for short) is crafted like this:
[] []
=landmine. Block will have same appearance as landmine used.
It has an explosion power that is 1/2 of tnt, and does 12 damage. However, it will also blast people within 3 blocks 5 blocks up into the air, meaning that you will take fall damage as well.
The usst, when right clicked, will display an interface to put in bait. The bait can be any item or block. When in the bait slot, it will appear as an item, ready to be collected. However, it will not dissapear in 5 minutes like a regular item. The bait will encourage enemies to come step onto the usst, and trigger it.
Note that both the landmine and usst will only be triggered by humans (players), zombies, creepers, cows, sheep, pigs, and any mob/creature that would logically weigh more than a human.
The usst can be made to only trigger from players by crafting it like this: = Advanced usst
Where =Redstone
