Hey all. This is just an idea I had earlier today. I propose the addition of redstone arrows. These arrows, having a tip of redstone, would function as a projectile power source. It would be possible to fire them from a regular bow, and any adjacent redstone wiring or redstone powered objects the arrow lands by would receive power.
They could be crafted by replacing the flint from a regular arrow with redstone, and only one arrow would be made instead of four.
Let me know what you think!
~~~Obdurator--Sidenote: The redstone arrow would do as much damage as a regular arrow if you shot a mob/player.
An interesting idea, but I'm not sure what it's uses would be exactly. Also, having the arrow do the same damage as a regular arrow makes regular arrows obsolete, as redstone is much easier to acquire in bulk than flint, even with your reduction in construction output quantity.
This Is what the wooden button was added for, no support.
Yes, but this could be used for completely hidden switches, with the only way of activating them is the arrows. I think that this a great idea overall, but the redstone arrows power should be drastically reduced as a compromise.

Thossssse are sssssome nice catsssss you have there.”Haha, I do have cats. You can’t come near me now!" HAHAHAHAH BOOOOOM!!! The only creeper in the world not afraid of cats just had to find you, didn’t it.
I like the idea, but they either need to do less damage or the recipe should be crafting 1 Redstone with 1 Arrow for one of these.

This would be great! I have one question: Would the redstone signal be able to travel through blocks? If it did, that would be really cool. You could make a door that only opens if you shoot the correct spot on a wall without the way to open the door being obvious. I do however agree that the redstone arrows should do less damage due to the fact that it is easier to aquire large amounts of redstone.

I assume that the charge would be able to travel through blocks. Every other redstone power source can, so why not this one? Btw, I think the way to go is to replace the flint in the arrow recipe with redstone and only have it make one arrow. And of course the weak power.
Game balance FTW!

Thanks for all the support guys! Now that I think about it, I do believe that the damage should be nerfed. Also, for those that were wondering if the power could pass through a block, the answer is yes. I also agree that the length of time that power is received should be shortened.

Enderpearls need more uses! Go to http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1584591-ender-dust/ to fix that!
Or, at the least, use normal arrows in it's recipe, as Badprenup suggested.
Who, pray tell, are you agreeing with? Maybe you should use more quotations
Also, I disagree with you. This would be pretty badass, so why not?

If it was like this, I'd support it.
This idea is also good.
