Witch BROOMS

  • Witches need to have more fun being wicked. So that means they need more thing to play with such as BROOMS so they can fly in the night sky while following players up above them shooting pumpkins at the players. The only way to get the witch off the broom is to shoot the witch off. And when witch is killed it can probably give you a magic broom.

    i like your idea i voted it but i'd think the magic broom would be super rare to drop like 1/500 chance atleast

    I like the idea of having the Witch rarely drop a broom which you can fly on. 

    It should not be repairable and fly slower than the elytra, but it should control better and have sharper turning and the ability to hover. 

    It will use up an inventory / hand slot, so there will be many tradeoff to using it, making it very different from the Elytra.

    I like the idea.  At night on October 31, witches should get a broom and fly on it.  They should not drop it, and when day dawns, they should fly back to the ground.  The only way to deter them is by placing a jack lantern (similar to an enderman).  They will fly away within a 31 block radius.  Kind of spooky.

    That's a good idea, but not all of the witches should spawn riding a broom, just a little percentage (1/4 would be good). Also, they shouldn't drop it. Or instead, they could drop it, but if you try to ride it, it would go crazy and splatter you everywhere. I think that's funny, otherwise it would be OP.

    This is a cute and fun idea. I wouldn't mind seeing this implemented. Sure, there are more pressing issues that should be addressed, but we would finally be able to build functional quidditch! :P

    Witches that can ride brooms would be great, maybe they could use them if you try to push them off of a cliff or other high place, they'd automatically mount a broom and fly to a nearby safe place. Or they could use them to chase you down as you run out of their aggro radius.

    I also think it would be important to let the player get a magic flying broom for their trouble. It wouldn't be super fast, just slightly faster than running, but have responsive controls and hovering ability. It should obviously be stupidly rare, and maybe it would only be able to fly 10 blocks or so above the ground? Making it more like a hovercraft than a true aircraft, and limiting its functionality so that elytra aren't left without a purpose.

    Durability could represent its magical "fuel" supply, i.e. when it runs out you can't fly any more, but it won't break if it runs out. You can craft it with glowstone, redstone, or some other resource to refuel it.

    I like this idea, but I think that if you get a broom you'll not be able to fly on it. Or maybe you could fly on it but you cannot change the direction etc. and it would be random. (Maybe until you learn it somehow.)

    If you shoot a witch off than the broom should fall to the the ground.  Witches should just throw potions at you, not pumpkins.

    Might wanna add that the brooms have a certain durability and plus it would take away use for elytra and fireworks so maybe it can’t be obtainable in survival or make it REALLY hard to control

    I like the idea but there should be a witch boss that uses and drops it, not just any witch.

    E.g. there could be witch caves (or some other structure) where this boss would be located.

     

    Also the flying mechanics should be different than the Elytra's, as to not make it better or worse then it. Both should be viable options with ups and downs compared to each other.

    Ty Brantner, MagicDiamond40, & Hori873 are on to something here.

    All of the following will give new purposes to items & structures already existing in the game. Namely the witch hut, Bottle of enchantment, & Totem of Undying. The broom will also give players a new way to fly earlier on in the game making exploring further

    1.The broom should spawn only with witches spawned in a witch hut & somewhat rarely, alternatively, this could be an item that spawns in witch huts with the original structure or found in a witch hut chest as special loot. 

    2. Brooms should be a bit slower but easier to control in comparison to the Elytra but also have to be refueled/ fed bottles of enchanting 1 bottle=fully restored durability/health aftter being consumed in flight. 

    continued...

    3.I think brooms should be a tamable mount. Especially if a witch has previously ridden it, similar to horses & donkeys, it should flick you off a few times before ultimately becoming tamed & imprinting to you. Perhaps it could try to follow you walking on its brissels (Like the brooms in the old Mickey Mouse Wizard movie), & only stay if you tell it to lean against a block like the *sit* command for cats & dogs, or if it has run out of magic.

    4. Brooms should only be flyable in the overworld, upon entering another dimension it will go crazy, flick you off & return through the nearest portal or simply disappear with a bolt of lightning, you would then find it leaning against something near the portal you entered in the overworld in need of more fuel/nourishment. Perhaps this mechanic could be utilized for creating charged creapers in survival?

    5. If these brooms are craftable it should be very difficult. I think it should have a similar mechanic to Snow Golems, perhaps by placing a hay bale on the bottom then placing a wooden fence post on top or a stripped log, then a totem of undying at the very top & activating the transformation with a splash bottle of enchantment or potion of levitation.

    Absolutely genius idea. I think that brooms should have their own set of enchantments. I also think that similar to drowns not all witches spawn with brooms but those who do will have a higher chance of dropping them.
