So a lot of us want crossbows, the issue is people don’t want gattling guns or think they are worthless compared to bows, so what I would do is have them load fireworks (explosive arrows) that do 1.75 hearts of damage and 1 knock back, crossbows would cost 2 diamonds (cannot load arrows) and fireworks would cost 4 emeralds for 2 or for one. That Firework price is up to you, 5ems for 3?
Honestly though I just feel that crossbows are indeed useless outside of like 1.8 PVP, but if these were to be added I’d want the crossbow to cost at least 5 diamonds (and the normal bow could also cost 5-10 diamonds smh), I simply feel this would be too niche and not used alot, but thanks for the suggestion!

the people who want crossbows (dabs like it’s 2016)
But seriously me and my friends we want this.
I just don’t see the point to adding crossbows. We already have bows, and they are good enough.

Did you read the post, crossbows would be different to bows and change tactics and gameplay.
People have already been complaining about bows being overpowered. We don’t need for there to be another ranged weapon for players to worry about.

but as @Anonymousohyeapvp said, shields could balance this out, to stop crossbow spam, no more than 3 crossbow can be in you inventory at once.
no shields would be awful. People would just camp in a corner

That would just lag the server and i don’t see many players playing it
it will cause for more entities and more servers which can cause clientside lag

Shields on the hive just seems like something a mobile player would abuse. But i wouldnt mind if there was something like that.
first of all crossbows not loading arrows is hard to code and second what is the diff bw bow and crossbow and if it shoots fireworks(like usaid) ppl might just exploit it

I am a big fan of adding more limited time game modes.
dumbest idea ever
stand in a corner and spam them? yes, but they will heal up while you spam them. also, crossbows are certainly not a good idea as the arrows, um like just what even are those susposed to be, and the box is already good enough. also, shields were never be added.
not to be negative or anything but this will never be added

made the suggestion before block breaker boom boxes, also block breaker boom boxes have to be placed.
imagine this. you hit an enemy till hes almost dead. the suddenly, he pulls out a shield. oh no! he then proceeds to keep stalling, healing up to full health as you continously try to break the shield and get flung back each try. the crossbows are kinda lame, no one wants those fireworks as a weapon, they would be way to overpriced and incredibly useless. so, yeah.
