I don't know about you, but I find that faster makes things easier to hit. They should be slower, with the poison being the advantage.Quote from TheBlueRockyBlowdarts go more straight than arrows, but much faster, so it may be hard to target your enemy.

Bumber posted a message on Blowguns and BlowdartsMaybe a cactus could be used in the recipie instead of a stick? Cacti need more uses and quills make more sense than sticks.Posted in: Suggestions

TheBlueRocky posted a message on Blowguns and BlowdartsPosted in: SuggestionsYes, I am FULLY aware that this has been suggested before. Though, the crafting recipes and use is new. Therefore, I am not exactly, "Sharing my wondrous idea of blowguns in Minecraft," but explaining how it should be implemented into the game. Thank you.
The Blowgun
Similar to the bow, the blowgun is the tool used to fire ammo. Though, unlike a bow, it does not have damage. When you use a bow, you are pulling on the string. On the other hand, you aren't abusing any part of a blowgun.
A blowgun can be crafted out of three diagonal sugar cane.
When you have a blowgun in your hand slot, your player model's hands will come close to the mouth. Almost in a 1st-person-gun-perspective, you can see a 3D model of the blowgun by your player model's mouth in the center of the screen.
A blowgun can fire a blowdart with a right-click. There is a form of "charging", but it is inhaling, and when you release, exhaling. Blowdarts go more straight than arrows, but much faster, so it may be hard to target your enemy.
The Blowdarts
The blowdart is the blowgun's "ammo", although this is not a barbarian-style weapon.
The blowdart can be crafted similar to the arrow, but with a spider eye. Why? When you eat a spider eye, it has a chance of poisoning you. In blowdart form, there is a 100% chance of it poisoning your opponent.
The blowdart is a slow-acting weapon. It simply poisons the mob with the blowdart stuck to it, over time reducing it's health to 1/2 hearts, just like spider poison, although much slower. Therefore, you cannot "kill" with blowdarts.
The blowdart models stick to the victim, just like arrows ever since 1.8.

Strategies
You go outside in the middle of the night and into the forest by your house. You see a creeper. Hidden from sight in the darkness, you retrieve your Blowgun. Inhale. You point your blowgun at the creeper. Exhale. The blowdart fires from the darkness and into the Creeper's hide. Due to being hidden, the Creeper doesn't know the source. You, still hidden, watch the Creeper's life being drained from the blowdart. Eventually, the damage ends. You quickly retrieve your sword and leap out of the shadows. One slice: a pile of gunpowder on the ground.
The blowdart is especially useful for hunting large numbers of animals. Shoot them all with a blowdart: Come back later. Bam, bam, bam. Plus, your bow or sword is still in mint condition. No new damage.
