i was using the adventure craft texture pack and the texture pack had change the axe into the shape of a battle axe i was thinking that the regular wood cutting axe and a battle axe could become two separate items the battle axe obviously was a weapon and the axe just serves the same purpose it always has. i've even got an image for a recipe that's unuse to make the battle axe
So far, Minecraft doesn't really have weapons per se, it just has tools. Granted it has one tool that specializes in destroying mobs while the rest are for dirt and rock and stuff, so technically it would be considered a weapon, but functionally speaking it is no different than a tool. That said, Minecraft doesn't have a combat system per se, either. You're just using a "break object" move, but some tools will fare better at particular kinds of objects, mobs included. Until Notch adds a distinct combat system to Minecraft, any further "weapon" will only overlap the sword or render it obsolete, neither of which are good things.
TL;DR:
No new weapons until Notch makes an actual combat system, otherwise you're just stealing the Sword's spotlight.
the balance between the sword and the battleaxe would be say the battle axe has twice the strength of thw sword. but it has half the durability and you would have to choose... whereas on one hand when fighting some mobs you may prefer one over the other and vice versa... so if you're fighting a creeper or maybe a skeleton if you have a ahrd time dogding the arrows... whereas the sword would be good for the zombie and the spiders as well as the octopuses as they aren't as big a threat. I also like shroom207
's idea with slowing down the attack speed because with a weapon twice as powerful and half the speed and durability as the sword you'd better make that one hit before the creeper explodes or you're dead.
anyways just and idea i had...
