Personally I was thinkin a magic wand of some sort, or maybe portable light? or both? I just like lightin stuff on fire. It could be used in the bow recipe for flaming arrows I suppose..
I think it should be used to make an enemy catch on fire. It will hurt you when you use it, but attacking an enemy will have a chance to burn them (though it will always hurt you), and will have the strength of a stone sword and the durability of an iron one.
What I was think was that it's a pretty easy item to come by. Thus it could be really 'OP' when it does things like throw fire balls or tame pigmen. So I was thinking more towards using it to craft items like higher tear tools.
Given the insurge of "magic" items lately (enderpearls, these new items) I figure enchanted tools aren't that far off, I can only assume these replace sticks in the crafting table, not sure how I actually feel about enchanted tools, will wait and see how they interact with the world
Heres my idea for them. Inspired by anothers post. whoever you are thanks. Can't remember who though sorry. :sad.gif:
Instead of using sticks for the handle of swords and tools you would replace them with the rods. This would increase the durability of that item. So if lets say a stone pick has 100 durability. If you use two blaze rods instead of sticks, it will have 150-200 durability instead. Maybe make it so you can go half and half or something.
Now in the Nether a Diamond Sword made from blaze rods would also hit harder. But this requires more mobs to have much much higher hp. Which is something Minecraft really needs. I think Lava Cubes or whatever they are called can take three hits or so. Well the big ones, not the small ones. But if it were to take say 5 hits with Diamond sword, it take 3 with Blaze rods. or something.
But the Nether should be harder with harder mobs. None of this 'two hits' crap.
I dont want any weapon thats stronger then Diamond to behonest. Unless the mobs have much higher hp. Because right now its 2 hits with Diamond and you win. So if it gets stronger then its just 1 hit.
But I like the idea of durability for tools/items. Might want to reduce drop rate of Blaze Rods though. Not to rare, but not getting 1 every other kill.

I totally agree with that, all of the mobs in the Nether should have at least double the hp to make it that much harder. Minecraft really needs something more than just the 'hard' setting.
And yeah, nothing more powerful then diamond, cause I don't want to be able to KO people in pvp.
So the questions are:
What do you think it should be used for?
What do you think Notch/Jeb already has in mind for it?
I'll make a pole so we can vote on ideas when we actually get some :tongue.gif:
ok maybe not,
Lava fishing rod!!

Blank - Blaze Rod - Blank
Blank - Blaze Rod - Blank
Result!
Magic Wand! Magic Scepter! Stick with round orb to claim dominion over the pigs and turns them into Pigmen!
That'd be sick, but the drop rate for Ender Pearls and Blaze Rods would really need to be reduced
I like this idea. Perhaps left click fires a Ghast-like fireball and right click calls down a lightning bolt?
