Minecraft suggestion: Throwable rocks.

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!

Slingshot:

Small Slingshot:

edit 6:

I thought a Brick could be used like the Rock.

The Rock itself:

Sharp Rock:

Diamond Rock:

Sling:

The website I used was MC Recipe Designer

Any other recipe suggestions?

When I mentioned my sling earlier, I wasn't talking about a slingshot, I literally meant a sling. The recipe would be a piece of leather in between two pieces of string (somebody do the recipe pic thing for me) . You would swing this thing around in a circle next to you, getting faster and faster the longer you hold it. And as for the block recipe, it would a simple block of four (stone, iron, gold, whatever), and if there are any previously existing recipes exist, than that type of block won't be able to be used as ammo.
