Okey, so last time i posted something i was banned because I didn't read the FAQ. Now i did. Atleast, i read everything what i have found. If its not right please, im just trying to help.

Okey so let's talk about the usual arrows in minecraft. the arrows have no durability and you can't get arrows from hostile NPC's who are shooting on you. For a change i made something up.

Arrows now have a durability of 5. which means u can shoot with the same arrow 5 times, Although if you shoot it you need to pick it up first. There are some problems though.

If you shoot your arrow on any kind of stone, rock, or brick material, it will have 50% chance to break instantly if it doesn't break, it will lose 3 durability. ( this include any hard material, think about iron blocks, bars, sandstone)

If you shoot your arrow on any kind of wood, or on any kind of Grass block. it will have 10% chance to break instantly. If it doesn't break, it will lose 2 durability. (this include sand and every less hard material then stone)

If you shoot your arrow on any kind of animal, mob, or NPC it will drop the amount of arrows you shot on it, also you will lose 1 durability by shooting on any mob or NPC.

If you shoot your arrow on an archer, you will have 80% chance to find more arrows then you shot yourself.

If you shoot your arrow in the water, it has 60% chance of disappearing, In Lava or fire it will burn instantly.

if you shoot your arrow in the leaves of a tree you will have to break some untill you get it back.

I did not mention all blocks, but you will get the idea. Hard blocks will give more chance to let an arrow break.

Now over to the next subject, Flaming arrows.

This arrow would be craftable by putting an arrow anywhere in the crafting table and then add a steel (since the arrow recipe has flint in it).

The arrow itself would set any block on fire in a radius of 2 blocks from where u shoot it. this will mean that if you shoot it on wood you will be able to burn it.

This arrow also has durability, but the durability of this arrow is 1, why? simply because if you shoot it somewhere there will be fire, which means the arrow will burn instantly.

if you shoot this arrow on a mob/ NPC it will get burned and so will deal more damage.

If you craft the fire arrow you will get an achievement 'Fire It'

Now over to the next subject which is the inventory space.

From now on you will have to deal with the fact that you need a quiver for the arrows, i know this has been suggested recently and im also not saying this is my idea, it just has to be added.

You cant collect arrows unless you have a quiver, which has 3 Slots. This quiver is easily to craft. just put a chest in the middle of a crafting table and put 4 leather or warg/lion fur around it so you have a cross shape.

Once you have it you can collect arrows, as i said it has 3 slots so you can have 3 x 64 arrows. in the quiver you can only put arrows. In your normal inventory you can't get any arrows.

So, how do i choose which kind of arrow i shoot?

You will shoot the thing whatever is on the left side of your Quiver. This will mean it would take a bit of time to change from normal arrow to fire arrow. This will make it a bit more realistic since it just takes some time to let your arrows go into flamezzzz.

There will also be another way of storing your items. which actually just allow you to have more inventory space. This way is by adding slots to armor.

A helmet has 0 slots, a chestplate has 2 slots, leggings have 4 slots, and boots have 2 slots. These slots do take stacks. By putting anything in these slots, you will get some slowness.

I think this was all i have to say, if there are any questions, or suggestions on this u may ask. also im not 100% sure if i told everything, if not i will add it. Again Quivers is not my idea, but it will help my idea which is the flaming and normal arrows being more detailed. Im sorry if someone already suggested this, I didnt see anything telling something about arrows. This will be everything.
