Ninja Stars could be something to replace bow and arrow though not quite as powerful except when in close range because in reality whipping a ninja star at someone would hurt quite a bit more at close range. Unlike bows and arrows charging would be optional and the more you charge the more it would hurt mobs and go father. A possible crafting recipe could be an iron ingot in the center and the four corners. But it wouldn't be worth it to just get a few ninja stars as to like 16. When you build a target to shoot arrows you could also use as some type of dart game to play with your friends on servers. One difficulty of these would be that say you shot it and came up short of your target what would they look like when they land because often when shooting arrows they'll get shot at an arch but this would be more of like you're shooting them straight.
Anyway, I agree with the no no-arc thing. Perhaps for a short distance it doesn't arc (or it only arcs a little) but after 10/12 blocks or so it falls quickly.
I don't know if this fits the mine craft tone. There have been suggestions like battle-axes, katanas, cannons, etc. . . It is a cool concept though, but it may just be better off in a mod. Sorry.
Sounds OK, though.
I would love it if you checked out my "about me" page on my profile and looked at my threads
I'm always happy to see new posters.
