there are many different swords for minecraft with various upgrades, but there are no upgraded bows and arrows in Vanilla minecraft. I really enjoy the elemental arrows mod, but it would be nice to have for Vanilla Minecraft as well.
I was thinking of 8 craftable arrows that could really change our use of bows:
Exploding arrows: I know, not very original, but the arrows would be crafted by putting a regular arrow in a crafting table, or the players inventory with 1 TNT.
poison arrows: made by crafting a regular arrow with a spider eye, has the same effect as eating the spider eye.
glowing arrow: Say you want to see what's up at the top of a cavern, but you can't find a way to get a torch up there. shooting a glowing arrow up there would provide as much light as a single block of glowstone. It would be crafted with a regular arrow and a block of glowstone.
Fire arrow: sets mobs on fire for 3 sec. (like the flame enchantment for a bow)
but also sets one block on fire if it hits the ground.
crafted using 1 blaze powder with 1 regular arrow.
Ice arrow: freezes one block of water, but also freezes mobs for 5 sec. crafted using a snowball with a regular arrow.
Healing arrow: heals 5 hearts for the player it hits, but has the opposite effect for the undead -5 hearts. crafted with an arrow and an apple.
Iron arrows: do 2 times the damage than regular arrows and travel a bit farther
Gold arrows: do a small amount of damage, but travel the farthest
Diamond arrows: do the most damage, but go a shorter distance
each of these will be crafted with their own item (iron for iron, gold for gold, diamond for diamond)
each one will be crafted with feather and stick, but with the other material for the tip. Makes 8 arrows.
I don't really want tiered or elemental arrows. I think that having arrows that are used for different things, like sniper arrows, and short-range arrows would be better. No support.

That is an interesting idea, and thanks for the feedback.
Some of Them are however Overpowered.
The fire arrow make the Flame enchantment useless.
Healing:Why an apple?!?Also 5 hearts are too much,with a small Oak tree farm this make healing potions usless and is far easy to make in large quantities,and do a lot.
Ice:Extremely easy to make and frozng creatures would make to easy.
Example:Guy have a stack of arrows,he live on a snow biome,he gets 64 snowballs craft them and now he can froze mobs as much time to kill any.

Ok, What do you suggest for these arrows? The flame enchantment would still be better because you wouldn't have to keep using up blaze powder for each arrow.

That's stupid... Who in the hell would use a diamond just to make an arrow...?
That they don't exist.
