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.

    We should be able to track down where the shooting star landed and find the meteorite. In the meteorite, we would be a different kind of ore that would provide different powers. Let's call it meteoric iron for now, but it could be some other element that can be used in crafting enhanced weapons/armour/enchantments etc.

    Fantastic idea. Seems simple and not too heavy to implement to give the night sky some variation.

    I want this so much! I love your idea, but I also have some other ideas: maybe you could try and find were the shooting star landed and collect an item (I cannot think of a cool name) but only if you run to the place fast enough!

    This would help make the night sky a little less boring.

    I'm everything for this idea! It would be sooo nice!
    Also it could give you some effects, like luck, how one person here said.

    It would be really cool if the shooting star could actually hit the ground and leave a crater and possibly hit something and kill it.

    Really nice touch! As metioned by others, you should be able to find something where the star fall. Nothing new or too powerful but something like Iron/Gold nuggets or, more rarely, diamond/emerald or even enchated books. It shouldn't be a game changer feature but just something to give you a reason to watch the sky and not to sleep. So that the chance to encounter phantoms (that can be easily bypassed) would be higher.

    I would love to watch the night sky in Minecraft even without shaders for stars waiting for a falling one. Just like I stargaze in real life!

    What if it could be used as a new loot table and/or transport or spawner for mobs? Very useful for a Galaxy or Airal update.

    Maybe just like Terraria ，it's a kind of Meteorite that would drop sometimes ，if you find it  ，you can use the meteorite to make armor or weapons

    Yes, I think the minecraft sky needs some sprucing up. Maybe combine this with a bit of gameplay and you got yourself a winner.

    YES! It'd be so nice to just sit there, look at the sky, and dream of the worlds beyond ours while a shooting star glares past. Great idea!
