Throwing Stars and Throwable Fireballs

Throwing stars would be an awesome new weapon, they could be held in stacks of three, made of any metal and diamond. Gold would be the weakest dealing 3 points of damage and netherite the strongest dealing 8 points of damage. they would basically be a cross between snowballs and tridents, with no charge time before throws but you have to go pick them up.. unless you add the new boomerang enchantment (like loyalty) but it allows the throwing star to deal damage to any mobs in its way as it comes back to you. Another enchantment "slicing" would have 3 levels each one enabling the throwing star to slice through another mob similar to piercing for a crossbow.

Also fire balls shouldn't just have the same mechanic as flint and steal but instead be able to be thrown, allowing the player to have the same flaming projectile explosive that the ghast shoots. it makes sense since its the same texture as the ghast fire ball and also the same shape as the snowball, it should work just like a wind charge except it explodes in a small radius and lights the surrounding blocks on fire. Instead of needing a dispenser I would love to just be able to throw it.

Minecraft is lacking in long range weaponry so I think these would be really fun additions.

I like the idea. Here is my suggestion. You could use copper, iron, or gold to craft them. And why not just use enchantments that already exist in the game like loyalty. Making new enchantments is too much. And if you want throwable flint and steel or a throwable fireball, you could enchantment the shrunken with flame.

I like the idea of flame being able to be applied to throwing stars, but I think a new enchantment called boomerang would still be cool since it would deal damage twice once when the shuriken is thrown at the target and again as it comes back to one who threw it, but yes the piercing enchantments would be just fine instead of making a new “slicing” enchantment
