Shooting Stars

under review

What if there was a chance to see a shooting star across the night sky, just to make the night seem so much more realistic and beautiful.

    Once they reach the ground, you can pick them up. Click on your screen and you will get diamonds, other rare items.

    Minecraft needs to add this they have never updated the sky they only updated the clouds to 3d and that's the last sky update I so agree with this.

    And maybe when you see the shooting star you will get luck effect like you're making a wish to the star?

    I would like to see more function to this, possibly finding fallen stars on the ground terraria style.

    An update night sky texture in general would be a very nice addition to the new textures. Since stars and planets are so far away, they won't have to be as blocky as they are right now too.

    Maybe the stars even land and maybe they are glow stone, or some new block

    Making the stars in general better would help in the visual aspect of the game. So more power to this post!

    Maybe a meteor shower can be an occasional event where the sky can light up with many shooting stars, or maybe a large comet can be visible some nights.

    Looking directly at a shooting star gives you luck status effect.

    adding more stars and maybe even a blocky galaxy would help a make the night just a bit more enjoyable.

    Also with shooting stars, it gives you two times of whatever your crafting on a crafting table for 3-7 minutes! Of course, this would make shooting stars have to be a bit rare).

    Maybe a tag-along item could be an astral map.

    Addition; You should be able to pick up the shooting stars and be able to craft brighter torches(like x1.5 or x2.0 times as bright as a normal torch and can be crafted with 1 shooting star and 1 blaze rod) and you should be able to do the same with a glowstone-like block. I dont know I just feel like that would be a good idea

    Awesome idea!

    It should be really rare though.

    Maybe it will also add a be if it to the game.

    For example drop some items that can later be used to craft awesome tools.

    Just saying.

    After seeing one should be a slight luck increase by a small amount and for a set time like 30 mins or something

    You could even have meteors crash to earth. They would create a burning pit when they landed and would be made of ores.

    Great Idea, would love to see it done. Perhaps there could be a way to connect the likelyhood of meteorlogical events to actual irl events using the server/clients time/date setting. example: early August there would be an uptick in meteor showers above a certain normal threshold. (Perseid showers) Would love an update to the night sky.

    Yes please and maybe be sometimes really rare one fall out of the sky and you get a rare ore to make like late game stuff. Weapons and armor. And have unique enchantments to them.

    I agree with Dinorauria. There could be The Creeper and The Block and other Minecraft constellations.

    Yes, that would be cool. What if they also added meteor strikes. Make them very rare, but they contain high amounts of diamond or some new type of crystal or metal.
