Hello guys, I noticed that Flint does have much use in PoC as of yet,other than arrows and Flint&Steel,so I made this Suggestion,hope you guys enjoy! :D
•Flint can be used to craft Flint tools. They'll have the same abilities and durability as wood tier tools. Even though they're basically a retexture of wooden tools,they can't be smelted,but if you're in a place with very little wood supply around,or if your last pickaxe broke in a deep cave but there's some gravel nearby and you brought planks,then Flint tools can have somewhat useful. Also it's something to use your Flint for so...Ayyyyyyyy- -("audio" cuts out,Lol xD :P)
•Spears can be a new weapon,which can be used as a projectile,they can be crafted into any of the material tiers(there's wooden spears,stone ones,flint ones,iron ones,diamond ones,gold ones,etc.)they do as much damage as an axe of the material tier you use.
•Spears are sort of like a projectile sword except with half a heart less of damage(how much damage axes have).
•Spears won't be very OP because once you throw a spear,it gets out of your inventory,and become a projectile spear entity that behaves very similar to an arrow.
•Also the stronger the attack damage of the spear,the smaller the projectile range,and the weaker the attack damage,the bigger the projectile range is(the flint spear has the farthest range,and the range is farther than a fully charged bow,but flint spears only do 3 attack damage).
•Also spears of the same durability stacks together in a stack of 16,and spears have 10 durability,but to balance it,a spear crafting recipe you get 8 spears.
•Spears can be crafted by 1 teir material,and 2 sticks.
•Spears do an extra half a heart of damage(sword damage) to mobs,but to players it's half a heart of damage less(axe damage).
•if a mob was hit with arrows or spears and dies,it should drop the number of arrows and or spears the hit the mob(for example,if a pig was attacked by 6 arrows,1 flint spear,1 7/10 durability flint spear,and 1 iron spear,when the pig dies it would drop that along with regular drops,even if the pig was killed by the projectiles,a melee tool/weapon,by hand,by tamed wolf,fall damage,drowning,or any possible death).
•1 flint,and 1 stick can craft a chisel,which would be required to make certain chiseled blocks,and each time a chisel is used into a crafting recipe,it'll lose 1 durability,and a chisel would have 128 durability(enough for 2 stacks of chiseled blocks).
•4 flint can craft a gravel block.
I hope you guys like this suggestion! :D
Nice! :D
