Anyway, you should be able to craft redstone with explosive arrow to give it a delayed reaction, similar to in call of duty: black ops.
Scope should be crafted for crossbow too:
where = redstone
Maybe it could have a 1.5x zoom, not enough to mess you up much?
And if you craft an iron arrow, and craft flint on top of that, maybe it could create an arrow that makes a slightly bigger fire than regular fire arrow? like 2-3 blocks?

Actually, that's the best mental image ever. A dying, drowning man stuffing his face from a massive wall of cake, and carving out a monstrous underwater cake picture. I'd pay to watch that irl.

I like bows so I love the idea of having more options, (really I like any idea that adds more weapons or self defense tools) but I can agree with keeping diamond away from the bows. Bows already have the distance factor, no need to make them to much stronger, perhaps in factoring the distance they can fly or more "accurate" as to were your aim is.
I love your ideas for alternate long range combat. I haven't read the whole thread to see if any of this has been suggested before, but I would love to see the alternate arrows not made from pre made normal arrows, for instance the tnt arrow might look like

I love the idea of crossbow, it fits mine craft perfectly, and I really love the crafting recipe you made for them, filling up the whole table and using planks makes it look so heavy duty and bad@#s. I don't know if different bows and crossbows are necessary imo, but this is a really cool idea, just thought I'd give you my input.
EDIT: Ah I see vindicar had the same idea about the arrow recipe
I have an idea for an arrow type to add a little variety to SMP, which I don't know if it has been mentioned yet. Some sort of dark arrow, whose only purpose is to extinguish torches in a radius around it (maybe 5x5x5 or greater).
My thought is you have an enemy defending his castle. To sow a little confusion inside, shoot some dark arrows where he isn't paying attention, and then monsters can start spawning inside his base.
As to how to craft it, i'm not sure yet. Perhaps a new "light sucking" block could be introduced, but for the time being i'll suggest slow sand and

Where is the slow sand. Comments?
Anywho, I think they ability to reduce light levels, temporarily or permanently, could introduce an interesting dynamic to SMP, although it would be practically useless in SSP.

I LOVE the idea of better bows and arrows. I think some of the arrows may be a bit iffy for Minecraft, since the game is supposed to be kept simple, but Exploding Arrows, Light Arrows, Fire Arrows, and Piercing Arrows all sound fantastic.
Also, I do like the idea of crossbows, but maybe not nescessary with a range of arrows for regular bows. Otherwise there get to be more bow/ammo craft items than other items in the game. :tongue.gif:
All in all, I fully support a range of ammo and bow types. Hope it makes it in!
there needs to be a diamond crossbow, a musket and or blunderbus (I love dwarfs this is why i want the gun)
A Mallet/hammer made of stone,and or iron or other materials.

We are staying away from anything diamond to keep it more realistic. I don't know how everybody else feels about gun here, but personally, its not a bow, so its not meant for here, same goes for the hammer. But they do sound like fun ideas though, especially the hammer because you can play WHACK A CREEPER!!!
1) gun thread is over there -points to gun thread-
2) i fully agree with more tools and wepaons, but this is arrow + bow thread
3) drill arrows would make sense as they would spin in mid flight with their shape, but how useful would they be, unless you drill through a block to open up a water system or something
4) diamond is a no - no at them moment because it is far too far fetched
5) cross bows are made for close combat raids in SMP (example)

I don't want to know.
2) delayed explosion would mean that the explosive would have to stick to the enemy, I have no objections but it might be hard to make it work

but whatever you still did very good work!

No he can't,
There not implemented yet...
This isn't a mod or anything, just a suggestion.
That is the one you need. The one in your sig is wrong Andrew... Once again, I'm sorry for messing that up.
just glad that I got a banner at all :>

Please give me an Internet if you like.

What, close combat cross bows, are you kidding me?
cross bows should be long range, low damage, easy bolt, slow reload.
