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).

Crossbow Bolts

The iron nugget in Minecraft has little use as of yet. I would propose using iron nuggets to craft bolts for the crossbows. The recipe would be as follows:
[ ] = blank [S] = stick
[N] = Iron Nugget
[F] = Feather
[ ] [N] [N]
[F] [S] [N]
[S] [F] [ ]
This is my suggestion for how to make iron nuggets useful. Support and feedback for this idea would be greatly appreciated!

    I like this, they should deal more dmg than traditional arrows.

    Bolts that deal more damage but travel a shorter distances would be a nice feature for crossbows!

    Or maybe nuggets replace flint and sticks in the arrow recipe.

    I like this idea. Real crossbows use bolts instead of arrows so it makes sense.

    Real crossbows have range comparable to a shortbow (the bows in Minecraft are about the size of a shortbow). I would suggest that crossbow range remains as it is, but these bolts would deal additional damage and/or knockback. Because crossbows can't get the Power or Punch enchantments there could also be additional tiers of bolts.

    Bolts are deadly(I think)but i would make them stronger using more items to craft the bolt.I would also make the crossbow charge faster.And also change a bit the crossbow’s colors.
