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).

(Ninja Update) Shurikens

Crafting

They can be crafted via 5 pieces of iron in a cross shape on a crafting table.  This would make 8 shurikens for use.

Also, you are able to put any type of potion in the center instead of a piece of iron for 8 weaker but effect transferring shurikens.  For example, you could put a potion of slowness in the center and it would slow down enemies, granting 4 uses.  Splash and lingering potion shurikens are single use, for the reason that it would basically be multiplying the splash effects.  

Potionified shurikens only have 1/4 the duration of potion as the potion itself.

Any more ideas for crafting, in the comments.

 

Enchanting

Shurikens can be enchanted with the following enchantments on a enchanting table:  Power, Bane of Arthropods, Smite, Flame, and Loyalty

They can also be enchanted with Punch on an anvil.

Any other enchantments, in the comments please because that's all I can think of right now.

They'd look like this or something near this.  If they have a Regular potion built in, center is that color.  Splash potions have the edges colored slightly towards that color, and Lingering potions have the are inside the border but not the actual empty center colored plenty towards the potion's color.  I'm not a pixel art master, made this in 5 minutes.  Better pictures in the comments.

 


Damage

Deals 1 heart damage at a range, with a 1 tick cooldown.  In melee, deals .5 heart extra damage.

 

Durability

Can be thrown or used in melee up to 25 times, unless as stated before has a potion built into it.  Regular potion shurikens have 4 uses, Splash and Lingering potion shurikens have 1 use.

    Crafting recipe?  Appearance?  Amount of damage dealt?  You said that they should add shurikens, but did not describe them in the slightest.  In fact, you could be suggesting that we be able to throw motorcycles (a shuriken is a type of motorcycle) at other entities.

    There does need to be away to save the enchantments on the weapons so then the player can't waste them.

    There should also be enchantments made only for the Shurikens. I came up with suggestions:

     

    Bonfire: Will ignite the target on fire

    Jagged Edge: Will increase the weapons damage

    Celerity: Increases the throwing speed

    What do you think?

    Since the weapon can be thrown it should do more damage then using it for melee. Maybe a 0.7 difference?

    It could gain the loyalty enchantment but only have a chance of returning

    They are a bit low power to be made of iron; it seems like you could achieve the same effect (though it's not as cool) with throwable stones. Nonetheless, this is a great idea for the players who have trouble quickly switching between melee and ranged, and it's nice to have something craftable that can achieve that. Perhaps throwing spears or an atlatl could achive the same effect with less recourse cost? Perhaps there could be an option to throw 8 of them at a time while crouching with a chargeup time?

    Shurikens sound AWESOME!!! How about a new enchantment for shurikens too - it would be called boomerang, and it would bring the shuriken back to your inventory! Or you could make the multishot enchantment apply with shurikens, and it would make one shuriken shoot five shurikens
