The boomerang is a weapon that can be thrown like the trident, except there are some differences. The boomerang is a common weapon found in dungeons, strongholds, villages, and other naturally generated structures. It comes back when thrown. It does 3 damage, and has 125 durability. It is needed because it would be a unique weapon to add to the game and the game needs more throwing weapons. Also, it could spark more creativity in the community, causing more players to make add-ons and function packs and other stuff. Over all, i think it’s a great addition to the game, and would be much appreciated in 1.14. I know the chances of Mojang seeing this are slim, but if they do see it, please consider adding this in the future.

I love it. An early game ranged weapon that does less damage than a wooden sword and far less than a bow and arrow, so it isn't overpowered for how easy it is to craft. Like an unenchanted trident, you would have to go pick it up after throwing it, making it even more balanced.
You might as well allow it to be enchanted with Loyalty, but I'm not sure anyone would bother. It would be like enchanting a wooden sword with Unbreaking III.
ClayGoddessSari, Since boomerangs are real life items and are known for always coming back after thrown, it would come back without loyalty, and you would only have to pick it up if it hits a block or something.But thanks for the support!
I think this would be a fun, more rewarding addition as an uncraftable weapon found in dungeons. (the crafting recipe just doesn't come together for me)
It should come back if you miss, but a boomerang that hits something wouldn't be able to come back. That's what I was thinking of.
WolveReigner781 That’s a pretty good idea. I’ll edit it. ClayGoddessSari How about we compromise: you can pick it up if it hits something.
@Red Riptide for a moment I just thought you were making a pun with ClayGoddessSari. XD
The crafting recipe: sticks in a 3x3 L shape.
0 = empty space
/ = stick:
00/
00/
/ / /
And you could draw and throw it at the perfect time to increase the speed and how far it would go, similar to the "horse jump bar".
if its is for early game its needs a recipe to kraft it
I was going to suggest the same thing!
I think the crafting recipe should be 5 wood planks in the same shape as the helmet recipe.
I think it should have a short range and charge up speed. Maybe some enchantments too:
Gust: Increases knockback
Grab: The boomerang pulls enemies towards you for a possible melee attack, not compatible with gust.
Strength: Boomerang has increased damage
The weapon could stun and hit many enemies. There isn't enough multiple hit weapons! There could be an iron edged version. I thought over a recipe 3 wood planks in a triangle shape
use loyalty enchantment on a trident. there is no need for boomerangs
yes.
I personally was gonna make a post about different types of Boomerangs a long time ago but seeing that this is here, I don't see why I shouldn't keep my ideas away forever. Let me see what I have here....
There should also be a iron boomerang, but not gold and diamond, kinda like doors ant trapdoors
and it could have enchantments,
Ricochet: can bounce off walls and will go to creature and creature
Kylie: will follow a strait, forward and back path(cant be combined with ricochet)
Range: Boomerang will go further
I was just wandering how it would be crafted and the materials needed or if it couldn’t be crafted? And it would also be awesome if you could control it after you throw it.
I really like that. I was going to make the same sort of recommendation but you beat me to it. Great minds think alike. my suggestion was going to be something like this:
I haven't read all the suggestion to Mojang for new features but I would like to offer up the possibility of a new weapon. The boomerang. The idea being that if you miss your target it would return for another try. But, as the physics of Minecraft are not like the physics of the real world, perhaps it would return even if it hit an enemy. Then, like a bow or sword or any other physical thing it would wear out and disappear or need to be repaired before it was destroyed. I hope that is an inspiring thought and a neat little twist to the game.
Or you could craft it by making sticks from baobab wooden planks
I'm thinking that it would have two uses. One is for combat and the other one is for returning objects to the player. Maybe it could even destroy blocks.
I too have been waiting for new throwing weapons so i wish you luck!😊
I love this, and the comments here are on point!
A quick compilation of some of my favorite comments here:
Recipe: a wood plank (baobab only?) with sticks or nuggets next to it forming an L. Returns on miss
Loyalty: adds return on hit as well.
Ricochet: can bounce off walls and will go to creature and creature
Fetch: will grab Items and bring them back to you, could also grab mobs and pull them a bit closer
I think that when it comes back you need to catch it other wise it hits you and you take a little bit of damage but you could get an enchantment that would Auto catch it. That would be cool. And the more you charge it before throwing the further and longer it goes out for.
Boomerang travel in a curve
It should also be able to pick up items at least 10 blocks away, such as if you drop something on the ledge of a canyon/mountain/near lava, etc. you can use a boomerang to get it back without falling to your death.
How does this sound for a crafting recipe: wood planks on the top left and top middle, a wood plank on the Middle left, and an iron ingot in the center. You could also add various new enchantments to the boomerang such as homing or speed.
