I think there should be more uses for Iron in Minecraft. Uses like Iron arrows, Cannons, Cannon balls, Gears, Shields, and more! Iron today is one of the most useful things in the world! If someone can contact Jeb about this topic I would Appreciate it! Like if you Agree!
ok, i don't get the point. with iron you can make: compass, armor (chest, boots, legs, helmet), tools (pick, axe, shovel, sword, hoe, shears) and there are probably things i forgot. so stop complaining that you cant do anything with you access iron. JUST MAKE IRON BLOCKS (another craftable w/ iron)
Bad secction. This should be in Suggestion section. Though, if you want to post some interesting post there, better you improve the post: posting images (recipes, etc), more information of how it will work, etc. Make it look great
Also. Don't think that you should post "for 1.5", just post "for a future Minecraft version".
When I read the title "Iron Arrows" the first problem that came to my mind was, regular flint arrows are already good. I can one shot a ghast with a power 1 bow, and then the damage with a power 5 bow **shivers.**
They maybe would have to nerf the regular flint arrows if they added iron arrows.
Another way they could make iron arrows work would be if instead of a feather and stck, they require rarer materials then that. Well, if you know what I mean.
Only instances iron arrows might be useful would be when fighting the Enderdragon, and PVP. If they added new, more powerful mobs on the otherhand...
For your other ideas, we already have TNT cannons ,':j
In early versions of minecraft, the recipe for arrows was 1 iron ingot, 1 stick, and 1 feather.
Notch removed the recipe though, because iron was rare, so he made it flint instead of iron.

Shields would have to have dual wield first, because just using a shield without a sword it would be sorta useless.
Ps. I really like your ideas, but like a few people said, TNT cannons are the same as cannons as your idea, and gears are already in the game,

Iron already has a ton of uses, but I do agree that Iron arrows might work...
Iron arrows would have to at least kill on 2nd shot to be worth crafting. I really wish we could enchant full stack of arrows. one at a time stinks. I would like to see the ability to take iron and make more than doors and bars. sheet metal panels would have crafting uses, shields, boats carcasses, metal structures,vessels, cannon balls. not sure why they leave this stuff to modding when it would be a lot more fun if it were part of the game, I like crafting over modding.
should have to work in the mines for it. make it worth doing. then enjoy the reward! Oh, and then combine it with other ores! we need more cowbells!

Cannonballs aren't explosive. They were simply used to cripple the legs of soldiers making them easier to kill. Not to cause mass explosions.And For the shield you could switch to it instead of blocking with your sword and it would blocking arrows and reducing the damage by half. Explosives Wouldn't be blocked by the shield.

They aren't in the game now. They were in very early versions (Indev). And they'd always were useless.

The other ideas... meeeeh

Yes. I was thinking something like this as well.
On earlier version of the game: Indev.
^ Discontinued - new series coming soon.
