I know bumping threads is bad, but I want to bump for a reason.

Using this guide will be ablto reduce redundancy and also receive better criticism. I hope this guide would be useful to most of the people in the forums.

As other people said, I think guns are unnecessary.

We have the bow, that's good enough.

Maybe when Minecraft has more features and more mobs, guns should be added.

Quote from JakeTehDracomancer

This is actually wuite a good idea.
I don't know if ~tbh1138 was saying that as a bad thing, but I definitely would love trolling people around with brown diamond swords and cyan wooden swords XD

Doom was also on consoles. It first came out on MS DOS, a year later it was on the Atari Jaguar, Sega 32X. In 1995, it was on Playstation, SNES and a lot more consoles. It was probably the most ported FPS game in the 90's.

It's also on the Xbox 360 as an Arcade game, so no. It's not exlusive to PC at all.

Name 3 great PC exclusive games that are only for PC and have a great singleplayer story to it and came out recently.

You wouldn't buy a console for just a game, would you?

I am certain that they do not. However, we're getting a little off topic. The focus here should, I think, be to approach the idea of guns from a perspective that there are two very vocal groups here. One who does want guns, and one that does not. So far as I can tell, the side that wants guns has good and well supported reasons why they want them, and will not be quiet until they get their way. Meanwhile, the group that does not want them might be silenced if it is shown, through a solid implementation, that firearms can coexist with the elements already in Minecraft, and won't ruin the game like they fear.

So, most of our efforts should go into finding feasible implementations for these ideas. Or, at the least, producing a convincing set of arguments to show Jeb and his team that it's an avenue of development worth pursuing.

Also, can we please have some clarification on what exactly is a "gun game" here? It seems to me to be some sort of mythical genre that doesn't actually exist. Do you mean...?

1. A first person shooter? If so you are wrong, as Minecraft can be played from a first person perspective, and has projectile weapons. (Also there are FPS games that have no guns whatsoever.)
2. A third person shooter? Still wrong. Minecraft can also be played in third person perspective.
3. Dual stick shooter? Well, Minecraft isn't that, certainly, but it's not the only kind of game with guns.
4. Maybe you mean it isn't a game with a modern setting, though. Well...that's wrong too. Guns have been around since before the medieval era, so they fit fine into older settings. Besides, Minecraft doesn't have a time period...and if it did the existence of jukeboxes alone would place it after the invention of the Gatling Gun.
5. Or did you mean that there can't be guns because there is magic? Let me direct you then to Fable, Warcraft, Boktai, Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Final Fantasy (esp. Tactics), and Skies of Arcadia...just to name a few.

So I just had this weird TES related dream. Read at your own risk.

Deep below Bruma, two characters from Mass Effect (Shepard and Wrex) are exploring, while using Imperial armor.I know, it's odd.

FortressCraft is a complete ripoff no matter what you say. If you look at one and the other, FortressCraft can be directly the same as Minecraft. And if your argument is "Well Minecraft is a copy of InfiniMiner", InfiniMiner is completly different in the way that its in space, it is solely based on Multiplayer, and has many different things about it. The only thing that MC took from IM, is the fact that you mine. FC has taken 99% of the things MC has, the only different thing is that they have blueprints. And why do they even have that? Its a change they chose to make considering that its almost exactly the same as MC. Otherwise its just MC Classic for Xbox. and please don't get me started on why PS3 is better. (Xbox can't argue just because you have MC, whoopee, big whoop.) Ill leave my PS3 VS Xbox argument in a spoiler below...

PS3 VS Xbox360 rant
First of all, PS3 may not have the best online support, ill admit, but considering the weight of all the other things it does better than Microsoft, it can and does outweigh the online. PS3's exclusives are much better, and there are much more of them. (LBP, Uncharted, Last Of Us, inFamous, Killzone, Resistance) and Xbox has what? Halo and Gears? Also, people say PS3 has **** graphics compared to Xbox, wanna know why? Because Xbox's coding is **** and easy, and considering if developers were like Naughty Dog and took advantage of the 50 or so GB's of Harddrive space, Xbox doesn't compare. Xbox only has 7 or so from a regular old style Disc, and PS3 uses Blu-Ray which can hold about 50 Gigs. (See what i did there ;D), so comparing games like Uncharted 2/3, and Halo, PS3 simply outdoes Xbox. The reason xbox has better multiplatform graphics(not even graphics, PS3 usually just gets rips.) It's only because PS3 gets the port, just like Wii. Because as I said before, xbox has easier code and smaller harddrive space, so it has to be VERY limited to creative expansion and texture. More examples of limitation, IF a company decides to actually do good things, and regardless of the xbox's problems, have the game visually stunning, the Xbox gets more than 1 disc, which isn't good. Overall, I'm not saying Xbox is ****, just compared to PS3, the standards that Microsoft has given the Xbox is below the PS3. One last thing, What kind of a company like Microsoft, which made IE, doesn't put it in their own gaming console? At the very least any other explorer.

Now I feel better after ranting

That is contradicting. "You can have an opinion, but you don't have a right to have one" - how does that make sense?

The Nether is closer to Purgatory than Hell, though.
And yes, mods would fit this better.
