Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Throwing knifes

Throwing knifes would not be something found naturally. You could craft this item with one iron ingot and a stick in a similiar configuration to a sword. It would throw it like a trident but you would carry it in stacks, and would disappear when hitting the entity. Like arrows, you could pick it up if thrown at the ground.

    I think that this should be carried in stacks, but a knife would be able to use the Loyalty enchantment or something new like Boomerang 1. It would do less damage than a trident but could be enchaned with sharpness/power.

    A few suggestions:

    Add tiers (wood, diamond, gold)

    You don't need to charge your throw like a trident, it throws instantly when you right click

    When held in your offhand, it'll throw if the item you're wielding has no right-click action

    It can deal melee damage

    I don't really like the idea of stacking them. If you could stack them, I think the max would be 2 per stack.

    I do like the idea of Loyalty

    throwing knives have less rang then a bow or crossbow, maybe 75% of the distance but with 75% of the "charge" time of the bow.

    crafting: one stick on the bottom with one of what ever material you want to use on top. this recipe would give you 2 knives.

    knives can be stacked in your inventory maybe with a max of 8 per stack. similar to a trident the knife will be retrievable weather you hit a mob or not. this would keep the cost down and im trying to think of a good beginning game projectile weapon.

    similar to a bow it would deal a certain % of max damage depending on the "charge".

    Max damage would be as fallows (Wood = 4, Gold = 4, Stone = 5, Iron = 6, Diamond = 7, Netherite = 8) same as sward damage.

    the throwing knives could have all the same enchantments added as the bow and crossbow

    durability dependent on material, 1 through = 1 uses.

    existing usage scale:

    • Gold: 32 uses
    • Wood: 59 uses
    • Stone: 131 uses
    • Iron: 250 uses
    • Diamond: 1561 uses
    • Netherite: 2031 uses

    It should definitely have a melee attack as well.

    While I like the idea, throwing knives could encourage kids to actually try it and it is a very dangerous sport.
