How about some different kinds of weapons with different advantages and disadvantages
Here are my suggestions
Spear(2 sticks a wooden plank or a iron ingot or a gold ingot or a diamond)
________________
|....|.....|Ingot|......../\
|----|-----|----|......./..\
|....|stick|....|........-||-
|----|-----|----|........||
|stick|....|....|.........||
----------------.........||
This weapon will:
Give a more reaching distance allowing you to attack with more range
It will break 20% faster then a sword
Battle axe (2 sticks 5 wooden planks or 5 iron ingots or 5 gold ingots or 5 diamonds)

looks more like a mace
A battle axe features are:
20% more attck than a sword
can knock back an opponent more farther then a sword will
But it swing slower than a sword
And has shorter range than a sword
Shield (7 wooden planks or 7iron ingots or 7 gold ingots or 7 diamonds)

Held in left hand
Right click to use can be held down
Info:
a wooden shield can block up to 40% of an attack
a gold shield can block 50%
An iron shield can block 70%
and a diamond shield can block 90%
the % the shield doesn't block will be the damage inflicted on you
How long does it last I'll tell you
eg: Let say a iron sword lasts 100 uses then a iron shield will last 200 hits
sorry if the pictures don't work I don't know how to put pictures from my computer to a post :sad.gif:
if someone can tell me I could fix it
problem: the recipe for the spear is the exact same as the recipe for a shovel
solution: make the recipe diagonal. like:
blank blank ironingot*
blank stick blank
stick blank blank
Ugh... All of these ideas have been suggested before.
Please use the search bar! Also you must have been playing for like 4 minutes to not remember that you used the shovel crafting recipe. :|
Personally, the spear is my preferred melee weapon, and so I'm sympathetic, but I really don't see a need to add additional melee weapons to the game. The crucial elements of Minecraft are already there: we have a melee weapon (in various quality levels based on available materials) and we have a ranged weapon. It doesn't matter whether we call them swords or spears or battleaxes, they damage mobs that get too close, and so it's covered.
I think it's important, when suggesting additions to the game, to think about functionality. If something already exists that does the same thing, and your suggestion is just a variant with some little tweak rather than a qualitative change, it's probably not worthwhile.
And actually, you'd be surprised at the range of a simple wooden sword. It can reach just slightly longer than the minimum range at which a creeper sets its fuse. I regularly kill creepers with swords, just by standing on the other side of an opening they can't get through and JUUUST far enough away that they don't detonate.
