      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Regarding Feathers and Arrows

6 posts in this topic

Searching the forums, it seems as though there are a few related topics, but none containing the suggestion I have.

 

I propose the introduction of "fletchless" arrows.

 

Seeing as how chickens have been made some what more rare, especially in cold climates, I feel somewhat short on arrows all the time. I have plenty of sticks, and rocks, but a feather for a few arrows can be hard to find, (accounting for the fact that chickens won't be so easy to mate once the new husbandry system for chickens is implemented).

 

Unless a feather plucking GUI, or a feather molting feature is added to our dear chickens, or another more common, more cold climate adjusted feather bearing mob is added, I fear I will always be short on arrows. I know I don't like wailing on a skeleton archer or javelin skeleton close range while getting shot at wildly, nor do I prefer to engage creepers in close quarters, and I'm some of you probably feel the same way.

 

Fletchless arrows would be made just like a normal arrow, but without the feather at the bottom.

 

The obvious downside to these arrows would be that they don't exactly fly straight.

 

One rock and one twig could make one arrow, or more, depending on how our good devs feel they need to be balanced, or could even have reduced damage.

well im all in for this idea XD

 

perhaps the arrows without feathers would fly straight forever like they do already and are good for snipeing/long range while the featherless ones would only be accurate for 6 blocks or so before they go off by a block?

planning on adding pheasants and other temperate - colder climate birds to help balance this out.

That's a bit OP don't you think? that arrows without feathers go on forever? Than what would be the point of having feathers? I think that all arrows should be required to have fletching on them.

Cool, can the different birds give different feathers and give the arrows different attributes? I know way more coding, but much cooler.

I think you mean with feathers on the first one, but they should have a limit on range due to gravity.
