A new “Disposer & Dispensing crossbow”

I know you guys are like totally against guns or whatnot but hear me out. Lets just take a similar item that’s already in-game and give it a little touch up to meet the players half way. Stay with me for a moment. Check this, we have dispensers that can shoot projectiles, and when combined with redstone players can alter the speed it shoots correct? Well let’s just take that and go a little bit further in the crafting table why don’t we!? Lets combine the dispenser, repeater, and crossbow together to make a new dispenser crossbow. Dispensing crossbows serves as a automatic bow that can shoot all projectiles that shoots at a default speed similar to that of a quick charge 3 crossbow but slightly quicker. Players can use quick charge levels to increase the speed that it shoots for even faster rapid fire action. Combine it with multi shot enchantment for scattershot action. Allow for spyglass to be attached to both crossbows and dispensing/disposing bows via smithing table. Dispensing crossbows without a spyglass attachment could be dual wielded for even more mayhem. Or like normal you can put the projectile in off-hand to select the ammo type.

  This would require potions to also be enabled in the off hand (may aswell treat the off-hand as a extra full inventory slot atp), especially if what ever is in your main hand is considered a full inventory slot. Dual swords and axes could be used in off hand to attack. Only swords in the off hand could parry incoming attacks when crouching + Left clicking. Parrying hand attacks does 0 dmg, while attacks from weapons and tools will make the defending user take 1 dmg. Axes are able to parry attacks only if it’s equipped in the main hand, while the off-hand is free of items (able to parry in both the standing and crouched positions). Parrying with an axe will allow 1.5 damage to hit the defender. Attacks from the spear cannot be parried at all. Parrying can greatly reduce the durability of both the defender and attacker’s weapons depending on the class material and applied enchants, -though the defender might still get slightly hurt. If a shield is disabled only a sword in the main hand can serve to parry whilst crouched + left clicking until the shield is ready again.

  Hey why not make it a two for one. Let’s distinguish a disposing crossbow from a dispensing crossbow. Disposing crossbows can be made with droppers instead of dispensers. Disposing crossbows can shoot any blocks, non-projectile items, and buckets of liquid (not milk) and place them further away but not as far as projectile shooters. Disposing crossbows can shoot all items located in the off-hand, but just not projectiles. Using disposers while a selected block or bucket is in the off-hand will first consume the matching ones in the player’s main inventory slots. Disposing crossbow’s cannot be dual wielded, but 3 special Disposer tomes could come as a result of it. Disposer tomes can be duplicated by surrounding them in paper. Floor, wall, and stair tomes could then be added permanently to disposing crossbows via smithing table(grindstone gets rid and allows changes to permanent lock upgrades). Only one tome at a time. Place disposing crossbow in the off hand and use tomes in the main. Ability to swap between temporary tomes replacing the tome previous applied. Afterwards use left click while holding a block in your main hand to shoot it. Floor places a 2x2 set of blocks horizontally(crafted with books surrounding any slab), wall places a 2x2 set of blocks vertically(crafted with books surrounding any type plank block) , stair places a 2x2 set diagonally(crafted with books surrounding any type stair block). Crosshair could change according to placement direction for indication. Multishot enchant could increase length and width of tomes effect to 3x3, if there’s less than 4 or 9 of the selected blocks in the player’s inventory it will fail to place
