The fireball, a good, weak tactical weapon. Same effects (sorta) as snowballs, they will catch your opponent on fire for 1 second, and also knock back your oponent. To make the wooden ball, youll have to do this:
It makes you 4 wooden balls, which can be thrown (note thats the animation of a fireball) the same way as snowballs, but do no damage until lit. This could be a alternative to snowballs as well. To make a fireball, you throw a wooden ball over a fire made by Flint and Steel.
The ball will stay on fire until picked up, so you dont got to worry about it being destroyed.
These will basicly do half a hearts damage per throw, but prove themselves useless while your enemy is in the water, but still knock them back a bit.
... Although I applaud you on only putting one idea per topic, you need to consider whether an idea is worth it at all. If I have a Flint and Steel, Why would I bother with a Fireball? I could just light the enemy on fire with the Flint and Steel. The only reason to do this is if you have some lit Netherrack near me at all times.

you dont need netherrack, you can literally just light any block near you unflammale and it will still work if your quick. If you rely on netherrack for all your fires, Being you must be hard on minecraft :tongue.gif: And the fireall is meant to be a ranged weapon, unlick flint and steel, a close range weapon, risking you damage, by the enemy. This is supposed to be a nearly cheap alternative to a bow and arrow.

But here is the flaw:
Step 1: Switch to Flint and Steel
Step 2: Light a fire on a block between you and the mob.
Step 3: Switch to Ball
Step 4: Aim
Step 5: Throw the ball and hope it hits them.
That takes a while for a chance that you will miss. Alternatives:
Make a bow, arrows are waiting for free every morning.
Aggro the mobs and place fire in the path that the mob will wake and back away.
Just punch them.
