Harpoons, Depth charges, And Diving bells YEARG

I've noticed that the introduction of the current boats simply makes them more travel and mobile spawn oriented tools. If we could somehow modify or add more boats or possibly a naval themed TTH gamemode it would add a real use to them.

Harpoons, yeah the long pointy anti whale weapons. I've seen what the normal ballista bolt does, it seems to be a little underpowered without bomb arrows. This is where the harpoon steps in, It is a stationary High Velocity ballista bolt cannon that fires ballista bolts that only damage players, not the terrain. It can not only impale a large number of players it can also be used as a lay line to fire the bolt into another object with a rope attached. With this rope players can climb the rope across to its destination (although it will be very slow since they will have to hang on with only their hands making them good targets). If the line is angled downward knights can use their shield glide and zip-line down the rope at great speed.

Depth charges are water only mines that are buffed to release smaller bombs when it detects a hostile object near it. After releasing the charges it will detonate itself in a large explosion.

The diving bell will be a object that can be carried like a lantern and placed like one. While being carried it will have the option to place a oxygen cable, upon clicking this it will attach a cable to the nearest block and a limit on how far the diving bell can be carried will be created. The cord cannon be place underwater. After placing this the carrier of the diving bell can stay underwater for as long as he or she wishes. If the block that the cord is attached to is destroyed the diving bell will no longer provide air for the user.

 

The Diving Bell, well I guess buckets could be used for that since there is no real use for them now, nobody uses them even when fire goes off.

 

Combat builders? More like filthy curs with buckets, the stun from bucket should just be removed because it's ridiculous.

 

mmm, more water combat...actually making water combat more interesting would be cool...Maybe I've jut not had a sea battle in a long while?
Maybe someone just needs to make a submarine mod to quench my thirst for the high seas! Haha!

Harpoons would be cool, dunno what I think about the mines or underwater breathing though...Sponges and doors work well enough for now! And normal land mines...

Also combat builders are just an excuse to run out into a group of knights and then complain on the forum that builder is underpowered... :E

 

Diving bells were actually invented before the Renaissance they were simply tethered wooden bells dipped into the water creating a bubble of air inside of them. Then air could be pumped in by a cord which was tethered. I'm thinking that the diving bell would need to be attached to something for it to work and then it would have a limited distance that the air pipe could extend.

 

I'm surprised there isn't a water only, war type server. IE boat combat.

 

Someone needs to make this a thing.

 

Exactly. When I first saw boats being mentioned, I immediately thought there were gonna be tons of servers with a huge oceans for water combat.

 

I believe I now have my next map idea. xD
