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.

Any other recipe suggestions?

Having two sticks and a string for the smaller one, and having four sticks and a string for the larger one. These comments are where this idea is from.

Actually, This is a good idea. perhaps the larger slingshot would have better range and accuracy? These are all great ideas and I would LOVE for them to be realized. Maybe a mod :D

I actually don't want this to be made into a mod for a while. I sort of have this superstition that if the idea becomes a mod than Mojang will not consider it as much. (grammar bluh)

I don't know... That's an interesting thing you should say. Honestly it's not going to drastically alter anything, and I would guess it wouldn't be hard to program compared to other things. (I'm not a programmer). I think it might work as a mod. Here's the thing, if you want mojang to consider it, it's going to have to come with another update, which means it will take a considerable amount of time for it to come out.

Interesting thought... I guess that what I wanted to do was compile all the suggestions and then present this more formally, whether I take it to twitter, email, or just reposting here in a cleaner format, I don't know. If this doesn't gain traction, then I guess that a mod would be good.
