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).

Bundle Arrow

In the Minecraft Live event that recently happened, bundles were released. These are sort of like shulker boxes, but they can only fit a stack of items. The cool thing is that this stack of items doesn't all have to be the same thing, they can be 64 different items. Also you dont place it down to take things in and out of it. 

So, heres the Bundle Arrow. Using a bundle and an arrow, you can craft a bundle arrow, a shootable arrow through a bow or a crossbow. These arrows are not stackable because they are basically a shot bundle that can stick to walls like normal arrows. Let's say you are working with a friend, and they need 7 more Blocks of Diamond for your super bad but wealthy survival home. Instead of having to go all the way back down to the ground, climbing back up the scaffolding and coming back to where they were, there is the bundle arrow. You shoot the arrow at your friend, and if you miss it lands on the wall and doesn't despawn like a normal arrow. If you hit your friend, the bundle and the arrow could be broken and put into their available inventory slots. Obviously there is a lot of uses and changes this idea could recive, but I really think it could work with 1.17's theme of helpful to all players. This is because no matter what your doing, if you're in survival mode you are gonna need items.

Some uses:

An auto loader for mules and donkeys with chests. Just shoot them with the special arrow, doing no more damage then a snowball, and you've loaded them up!

Pranks!

    I ran out of space for the possible uses, so here's one: 

    Emergency supply of giving your friends potions in a wither fight gone wrong.

     

    Also the bundle arrow could be fired by being in your secondary hand or first in your inventory compared to regular arrows. This is basically how firing potion-tipped arrows works.

    It would also give a really good use to the fletching table (if it ends up having an interface like a smithing table) where you could combine the arrow and a bundle. (Also it is very odd that two people had this very specific idea isn't it)

    Make that three haha, the ability to easily move items a bit further is really appealing, theres a lot of multiplayer use but also: i think letting the player aim to their base to quickly drop off a few items could be great. I like the idea of adding a use to fletching tables but i think letting players quickly make these in their crafting grid would be ideal.
