Okay this might be a lousy idea but just hear me out okay?
Note: It is not a giant bow, just a crossbow about one block in size.
So maybe you can craft a ballista like this
= Whip( explain later ) = String
When you craft it, you can place it on a block and it will look like a mounted crossbow. By right clicking on it, you will stay behind the crossbow, and allow you to aim at people/mobs. However, if there are no blocks around the crossbow, you can turn 360 degrees and aim up and down, but if there are blocks beside you or somewhere, you cannot turn through them.
What will it fire, first of all, you have to put arrows and spears(explain later) into them. By pressing E while you are "in" the ballista, you will see something like a dispenser page.
Now, the arrow will shoot 1.5 times further with 1.5 times more speed, allowing for more accuracy at moving targets. It should also deal 3.5 damage to mobs and players. The spear however, will be able to deal 5.5 damage to mobs but travel the same distance as the normal arrow, however with more speed.
Now, you must be wondering about the spear and the whip(in the recipe).
The spear, will be a weapon crafted like this
The cobble can be replaced with
It will deal 2.5 damage for wood and 3.5 for stone when you attack with it, but you can throw it for 3.5 damage for wood and 4.5 for stone, however, it will only throw for a short distance. And I do not really see a point in making gold iron or diamonds so we will leave it as that. It should have less durability as its cousins the swords, maybe 2/3?
Now the whip. But crafting it like this
With feather being the string, you will craft a whip. It will deal 2 damage when you attack with it, but you will be able to hit mobs 2 times further, so if you can whack ppl 4 blocks away(i am not sure), you will be able two whack 8 blocks away keeping creepers at bay.
Now, I KNOW that the whip seems unlikely to build a ballista, but heck give me a break.
