Greetings, Minecraft forum. I'm a new face around here, but I'd appreciate it if my various suggestions, wrapped into one, were at least looked at and critiqued (preferably nicely). Though I have to admit, it's hard to think of ways to make a great game like Minecraft better.
My primary suggestion... is the inclusion of a a firearm, or, preferably labeled, a Gun... and thus the crafting of Bullets, as well as the inclusion of Lead and Lead Ore.
Being an avid shooter myself, and considering Minecraft is a first-person video game (Not to mention, a crosshair is already supplied! Haha), a gun of some sort, I think, would be interesting. It would be like a Bow, really; you'd need to make bullets yourself, as you do with a Bow's Arrows. It would have a long range; more power than a Bow, but a slower rate of fire. Another thing that helps my idea is the fact that Gunpowder exists already.
Now, other things needed for this idea depend on the type of firearm in question... any modern gun would need Brass, Gunpowder, and Lead; an older gun, such as a flintlock pistol or early revolver (which I think would be the most fitting), just Gunpowder and Lead. Bullets would be crafted with Lead over Gunpowder, with Brass beneath the Gunpowder for a modern gun.
Lead and Brass would both be Ores. I'd make Lead Ore as plentiful as Coal Ore, personally, and also make it drop pieces of Lead instead of a Lead Ore block, just as Coal Ore does.
The Gun would be crafted via a mix of three Iron Ingots in a horizontal row, and a Stick beneath one of the Iron Ingots on the end (assuming we're talking a handgun, but again, I personally would prefer a pre-1870s revolver to be the basis, such as a Colt Model 1860).
Thank you for reading my idea, and I hope to hear support and critiques! Be nice :3
Welcome to the forums... obviously, you forgot to read the rules about posting.
Guns of varying degrees of OP-ness have been posted so many times before that gun suggestions are more or less illegal here, and on that topic so are previously suggested ideas (you're supposed to use the search function to see if anyone else had a similar idea and post your ideas in that thread).
This is eloquant and well-stated, it is thus my unfortunate news to note that Notch has actually spoken against guns personally, stating they would not fit in Minecraft.
...My apologies, then. I searched the "already-discussed topics" thread in this section, I figured that was enough.
I suppose this might need closing, then. Again, my apologies. >_<;
That brings up an interesting point. Why is guns, the most over suggested idea on the forums not on the over suggested ideas thread?
I went in there with ctrl+f and tried gun, rifle, musket, firearm, but nothing came up.

I agree with everything stated above and also add: No, it is NOT hard to think of ways to make Minecraft better because Minecraft is a flawed product. Don't imply perfection where there obviously is none.

Hypothetical: You read a thread in the Suggestions forum. You suddenly realize you've seen the idea before. Maybe it's a duplicate? No. Maybe it's just you? No. Maybe it's been done already? Very likely: Click here if there's a mod for that.
Brass isn't an ore. It's an alloy of copper and zinc. >_>
Anyway, locking this for redundancy. It's THE most suggested idea in history and, paradoxically enough, the regulars around here hate it with something bordering on religious fervor. This thread will probably turn into a flamewar if I don't, and Notch has already gone on record as saying "No guns," unfortunately. :sad.gif:

Also, you can only post on one topic per thread.
