New Weapon types! Ideas for more verity!

[Kang Kao]

If there is one type of thing that minecraft lacks its weapons, now I have no problem with the axe, sword and Bow, however sense minecraft has met the world of the hunger games and its based on combat and survival, I think it would be an interesting idea to have more verity.

Suggestions for bladed weapons: Falcata (Iberian sword), Gladius (Roman sword), Kintana (Samurai sword), Xiphos (Spartan sword), Kopis (Greek sword), Sica (Thracian sword), Falx (two handed Dacian sword).
Other close ranged weapons: Mace, Club, Tomahawk and Spear.
Ranged weapons: Javelins, rock sling, slingshot, crossbow (long reload time), and Throwing knives.

I'd like to see a chain mace that has the same mechanics as the fishing rod.

While that would be cool, the amount of mods/plugins would be pretty big in order to incorporate all those into the games. I don't see anything like this happening for a good while.

This is not world of warcraft. Mojang needs to finish that mod api.

Who said anything about World of Warcraft?

Bows need variety.
That's all I must say.

Even if we don't use a bunch of client mods to add those, giving out various enchanted items would add more variety. Or splash potions. Don't forget splash potions.

Talk to Mojang about those ideas, not us.

I dont see how a lot of this would ever work out in minecraft. Maybe make a mod.

Mcmmo supports the Axe as a power weapon. It would be interesting to see a plugin on the server the changes the properties of maybe axes and scythes to work as weapons and do different types of damage. Swords could be used for a bleeding effect, axes for critical strikes, and scythes for a weaker attack but a +1 reach.
