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).

Fletching table: Reusable Arrows

Arrows are Reusable but after time will become dull and dells less damage so With the Fletching table you can sharpen arrows. 

But if you sharpen it to much the arrow/arrows will become weak and have a 40% chance of breaking and therefore unusable. 

I feel like it would add another thing to have to work for and make it in a way more realistic

    I had this idea, too. I researched to see if Native Americans reused their arrows if not broken, and it was true in most tribes. It is a great idea to make arrows have a lifespan like swords do and the like, and since arrows stick onto the opponent, it would seem reasonable to retrieve the arrows after the mob has died. Sharpening the arrows, if applied, should have a cost, or else it would be too powerful as an update. Whether it is adding materials and/ or weakening arrows each sharpen, there should be some kind of way to make reusing them more realistic. In the current game, you basically have to farm chickens for feathers, and mine heaps of gravel over and over till they all are flint, or make a skeleton farm. Either that, or you spend hours getting and putting the infinity enchantment onto your bow. This difficulty, to me, is unrealistically unresourceful to make arrows break after one successful hit, and is just as difficult.
