i think that mojang should add new kinds of bows and arrows that each kind does more damage than the previous - such as for arrow kinds: diamond, glowstone, redstone, lapus lazuli, etc. and for bow kinds: iron, gold, diamond, different woods like birch, dark, oak also there should be different strings that also add more power or quicker draw times like combining more strings in the crafting table previous to making ur bow
such as: using 6 strings in the pattern of a door, etc. i think this should be added to the pc and the xbox 360 version alike. I also think there should be a more controllable, mountable animal added like a horse that can run faster than the sprint feature and humans can not kill these mounts please consider this as a new update option for xbox 360 and pc versions alike

Might need to be changed a bit. The bow's staff and arrow's tip should be made from only the standard materials (wood [sticks for bows, flint for arrows], stone, iron, gold, diamond) and bows could be made differently: longbows with added base materials for a more powerful shot but a longer drawback time, and shortbows with faster drawback times but less powerful shots.
1. Never suggest horses - that is a forum rule essentially.
2. Needs more detail. What do these different arrows and bows do? What are the benefits of them?
I don't know about the other guy, but to me, the better materials could improve drawback times for bows and for arrows improve damage. For example, diamond bow with diamond arrows allows 1 second for a full draw and does 8 hearts of damage.

Furthermore, bows can NOT be made out of metal. Bows need to be springy, and be able to regain their previous shape with out damage. Wood works great for this. Metal, on the other hand, is far too soft. Diamond is bad for the opposite reason; its too hard, and cant flex. Steel works well for swords because it is iron and carbon, so it can flex, but take an edge. The only reason that diamond would work for a sword is that it is so hard that it can take one of the best edges imaginable, and thus encounter no resistance. If it did, it would likely shatter.

This would work, as it doesnt require us to believe that diamond can flex, and is balanced.

Your brain is so powerful, it would take a state of the art computer the size of a factory to come even close to matching the processing power.

The Unofficial Suggestion Guide - Everything you need to know to not make goofy mistakes in a suggestion! Honestly though, you should really go there.
