The game gets very boring once you have diamond items and the bow and arrow. There should be better weapons. Post your ideas. Mine are:
- craftable rifles and/or machineguns (would require a workshop, which would be a crafting table but with 18 block crafting grid and it would be made out of iron. rifles would use iron bullets, machineguns would use gold bullets)
- slimeballs could be combined with arrows to make poisonous arrows, (1 slimeball + 1 arrow) and slimes could be made more common and spawn everywhere OR swamp men could be added that only spawn in special green swamp water in swamp biomes. (they will be like zombies but if you hurt them enough that they have low health, they will walk back into the swamp water and disappear unless u kill it quick)
- ice should be minable (1/6 chance of dropping ice when destroyed with pickaxe) and ice tipped arrows will do half damage but freeze for 2 seconds, while arrows with netherrack tips will do no damage but set the enemy/mob on fire for 2 seconds
- craftable rifles and/or machineguns (would require a workshop, which would be a crafting table but with 18 block crafting grid and it would be made out of iron. rifles would use iron bullets, machineguns would use gold bullets)
These would be incredibly overpowered for PvP and griefing. If it's set so that guns can't do very much damage to structures, then griefing is all set, but PvP would become a race to get iron and gold. EDIT: Notch has said that he doesn't want modern technology in Minecraft (computers, guns, etc.)

This is an idea I like more. W/o swamp men it would be the most balanced because slimes are pretty rare. How would poison work, anyways? Would it act like burning except without the ability to douse yourself?

YES for min-able ice :biggrin.gif:
Ice and fire arrows not so much. They don't seem very practical imo.
I think there should be bows/weapons made from netherrack. Nether bows are like normal, but they only shoot flaming arrows :biggrin.gif:. Flaming Nether swords seem self explanatory. I like the ideas for more arrows though.
P.S. That workshop thing sounds like its own idea, why don't you suggest that instead?

What do you mean by elemental staffs?
Bullets won't do damage to structures or blocks, but they will completely destroy any dirt blocks, sand blocks, gravel blocks, anything that is that weak. Rifle bullets will do 5 hearts of damage, while machinegun bullets will do 3 because of the MG's more rapid firing.
I'm thinking that maybe with the new workshop, grenades should be craftable too, which would be like lobbable TNT.
PVP already is a race. Its a race for diamonds. Whats wrong with adding something else to race for? :tongue.gif:
Ice and fire arrows do sound a little bit dumb, but I want poisonous arrows and fire arrows, perhaps not ice arrows. And in my opinion, slimes are WAY too hard to find!!!
What I meant by elemental staffs was magical staffs like a fire staff, an ice staff, maybe a thunder staff, but IDK what they would be crafted out of

No modern anything, whether it be a vehicle, computer, gadget, gun, or otherwise, has a place in this game.

No guns, no. That's just not Minecraft, really. I think, though, if you could craft axes or picks but are used as weapons, that might be something a little interesting, and each has their own advantage over the other. I'd imagine that when Adventure Mode comes along, eventually, combat's going to be expanded upon even more.
Minecraft would be more interesting if it wasn't stuck in medieval times with electricity (redstone.) The only way it might not fit is if Notch adds directly RPG/fantasy-like monsters in. Spiders, undead, and shadowmen (endermen, I'm just calling them shadowmen to show you what I mean) are more like creepy creatures of the night and the darkness that would appear, and creepers are completely unique to minecraft. :smile.gif:
And if your next argument will be that its impossible to make all that, ask yourself how buildings, cars, guns, etc are here today.
Humankind started out as a bunch of cavemen roaming around the world. At this time, it was natural as it could get.
Slowly, we learned to create things, and have utilized natural resources to turn the world into what it is today. :tongue.gif:
WOOT! MORE SHOOTY STUFF!
If Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter were all destroyed, 90% of teens would go insane. If you're one of the 10% that would be laughing at them, copy this into your signature and hope it happens. (Griefing is an art. And a lot of dead creepers.)

It's been said time and time again that guns will never be added to Minecraft. I like the idea of poison arrows, but I think blue spiders should drop venom sacs, rather than using slimeballs. Don't like the ice arrows (one little piece of ice freezing someone in place? Yeah right) but the fire arrows idea is neat.

No, you don't get it. Notch doesn't want technology more advanced than redstone to exist in minecraft, and redstone is basically magic.
LINKSEES!
