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).

Poisoned Crossbows?

The bow and sword has fire enchantments, but the crossbow does not. In ancient times, crossbows often shot poisonous arrows to inflict extra damage; So it would make sense to add an enchantment that would allow the crossbow to inflict two seconds of poison. It would be the equivalent of flame for the normal bow. Also, the level of the enchantment, like piercing, determines how many entities it can poison. This can save a lot of poison potions.

    This feature already exists, you can use poison tipped arrows for this.

    Using the enchantment can save you potions bottles and materials. Saying we don't need this enchant is like saying we can use flint and steel instead of fire aspect

    Have to disagree with Zoe Ford here. Flint 'n' Steel is far more useful than fire aspect. It's just that fire aspect makes it more convenient and practical to use the effect in combat.

    Tipped arrows, on the other hand, accomplish the same thing as placing this new hypothetical enchantment on the item, which makes either the arrows or enchantment redundant.

    I'd rather have Flame on crossbows. They're too under powered compared to bows, and having flame and/or power will seriously improve them.
