Throw Pokeballs with the Bow

As the title says, I think it would pretty cool if you could shoot pokeballs with the bow/crossbow, kind of like sniping pokemon from a distance. It would also be cool on servers when legendaries spawn, all people running to catch it and from a long distance you shoot a master ball to it and catch it!

Bows and crossbows cant realistically shoot round objects.

It doesn't have to be a bow, even just the ability to throw pokeballs further will do. You don't even have to implement it for everyone, if its just a command for the people who want it, it will be fine.

This would probably be more suited to a sidemod, it should be doable through there. Neat idea, though!

Thanks! Sure, a sidemod would be great! It could be a slingshot if we want to realistically shoot round objects as Jay has mentioned or make a recipe for crafting a arrow with a pokeball on the tip, the ingredients of course would be an arrow and a pokeball

Really cool idea, I think you should keep the idea on the bow though, the slingshot thing is not that great.

Thanks Neils! I also found a link to a mod that could be taken into inspiration for this feature:

<link removed>

That mod has multiple arrows that do very different things, from blowing stuff with tnt to dye things. My idea as I said earlier would be to have the ability to craft arrows with the ability to catch pokemon, it would feel like being a pokemon hunter!

I've actually seen some youtubers play with that mod, i sure hope they implement this!

We will not be implementing this into the main mod. Like XpanD has said, this is better suited for a sidemod.

Sure a sidemod would also be great! If any developper could implement this in a sidemod, I would gladly appreciate it!
