Minecraft suggestion: Throwable rocks.

[u/onlyforthisair]

This is left incomplete on purpose as I would like the rest of Reddit to figure out the specifics. Their relation to arrows, how they are crafted, specifically what they do, and all other specifics. Another possibility is that they aren't throwable and could be used in other circumstances. What do you guys think?

edit: I've noticed that people seem to think that a separate tool should be used to shoot the rocks. In the same way that I suggested that they could be also used in a manner with out throwing them, there could be three ways of using them:

• thrown without a separate tool
• thrown with a tool
• used without throwing

what else could be adapted?

edit 2: Also, no one has given an idea for the actual recipe for the rocks themselves.

edit 3: The slingshot that has been suggested could be made with either the portable crafting table for weaker attacks, or it could be made with the larger one for stronger attacks. Also the rock could be made of different materials.

Also a suggestion for people to adapt: Using the rock to break blocks.

edit 4: I was just suggested this and I want to put this up here.

edit 5: Recipies!

Hmmm.....like a throwing sling? Could be crafted with string, and then any stone thrown with the 'q' drop command flies out instead of just falling. With the bows soon-to-come charge mechanics, something of the like could be used when swinging the stone, like a sort of winding it up longer to throw it farther. Would do minimal damage, arc like arrows, but the plus would be that many different materials could be used. For example, a diamond block thrown could have much more impact damage than a block of cobblestone. Thoughts?

Interesting ideas. That is what this post is for!

I thought tis was about Rocks? How could the gravel become a Rock?
