Alternate recipes for fishing rod and bow.

[PaoloEmilio 53]

Ok, the bow was invented by the men of Cro-Magnon, thousands of years before copper smelting was discovered, yet we need a saw to make a crafting table. Same with fishing rods, I should be able to fish in the stone age. (Maybe that is simply solved with other method yet I suggest the alternative recipe). There is something wrong in that, right? So I will come up with this idea.

 

Making a bow: A bow is made by bending a stick to tie with a string and there is a bow. To bend the rod, you just need to heat the stick. To avoid it to be turned to torch, change cook stage to warming (without the *s), hot, very hot, catching fire, lit. When the stick is hot or very hot, just put it in the crafting slot to make a bent stick. It has the form of a bow. Then place it with wool yarn or string.

 

Making a fishing rod: This one is easy, just place sticks like if you were to make a firestarter, and a string in the lower right free slot. There is a small fishing rod. To make it more effective, knap a hook or make it out of metal. Through the rod could not lose durability, the hook COULD. And if it's a metal hook it is more effective than a stone one. To make it funnier, the string of the fishing rod has a chance of breaking and returning you two sticks (the ones of the rod itself). If it had a hook, you lose the hook. The chances could be of 1 to 100 that the string could break.

 

Well, anyways... That's all folks! Enjoy the idea.

Well, how about spearing fish?

When you throw a javelin into water, you have a small chance for it to come up with a fish.

I 100% agree with this,  the crafting recipes as of now are quite boring compared to everything else.

This actually seems like a completely valid idea, one of the few I see. It's simple, yet effective, as well as it not being too overpowered. This has my full support!

With all the care and planning put in to making stone/metal tools, it seems strange that they haven't changed the crafting of these items. They are still vanilla.  They are pretty much the only recipes surviving from vanilla minecraft.  I can't imagine they haven't thought about it though.  But I agree. Those recipes, especially the bow, take me out of the immersion of the game.

I think we should have a 'hunting/primitive' bow(sticks and string, and a bit of sucky-ness)

Good for killing rabbits and chickens, but for fully armored people and zombies... not so useful.

 

And a 'war' bow, with (I have no idea what, but I guess) planks and leather and a cord(lots of string/thread tied together I guess)

High power and range, for fighting.

sounds pretty nice
