I don't know where this idea came from, but I just thought it would be amazingly fun if we could pick up mobs and throw them using some type of item! You could also throw sand and gravel since they are blocks effected by gravity. The crafted item would be very similar to the 'Grabinators' in LitteBigPlanet 2. You would throw pretty much the exact same way. The item would not be an armor based item, you would simply select it and click to pick up and then click to throw. If you are damaged when carrying something you will drop the mob or block you would drop it, this will prevent players from carrying skeletons and such around, but will still allow them to pick them up for a split second. Ghasts are the only mobs that cannot be picked up. In SMP other players CAN be picked up, but you will be able to escape someone's grasp by attacking the player.
pending possible elements of this:
-some mobs can become enraged from being held too long
-mobs can squirm away from you if held too long
-when carrying chickens, you can hover when in air
-squids are more slippery
-players can form chains, meaning a player grabs a player who is holding a player
-players can grab pigs being rode by a player
-live TNT can be thrown
what to discuss:
-the crafting recipe (should be expensive)
-other elements that could be added
-glitches that may occur
-your thoughts on this!
pistons don't allow you to pick up mobs, they only allow you to move, they're much more static too, pistons are more of a tool, but an item that allows you to throw non-static objects is more of a fun toy
