    Many failed on this idea, but I will not (hopefully)!

    Cost: 100 cr (credits) per 2

    Item: String (someone please make a texture for this in the texture pack)

    Weapon Type: Explosive

    How It Works: When one from the opposite team (not your team) comes in a 1 block distance from the betty, the betty shoots out a firework and the firework explodes (as in a grenade or LAW explosion; or Creeper and TNT) in 8 ticks, enough time to back out of the blast range (if you're paying attention!).

    Where To Place: Only the ground.

    Distance Of Explosion: Your normal explosion radius (grenades, LAW)

    Sound: Dispensing Firework In Air- Lava Pop + Item Pickup + Note Snare Drum

    Weakness: A grenade (or other explosive weapon), guns, or a guy willing to set the betty off for you :wink:. All will trigger the betty at a safe distance (if you're paying attention!)

    Purpose In Game: Makes players to look around the area before stepping in as they might be walking into a bouncing betty!

    How It's Not OP: There's a weakness to it and everyone can "disarm" a betty. If they're paying attention to where they are stepping.

    If you think this idea needs improving, reply!

    I don't see why it was rejected. It's like a grenade that's activated by any player or gun. Basically like c4 that you can't trigger whenever you want (with a cooking time).

    Having it be able to kill a friendly should not be possible.

    Imo
    The redstone repeater is too visible...
    This would be way too up and I think the only way to use it would be to put like 8 in a hallway...

    Agreed!

    This.
    Maybe change them to string, allowing you to place it on the ground like a tripwire?

    This is basically c4 but it blows up on its own.

    I gonna switch it to a unlit redstone torch. Why? Looks kind of like the betty in CoD games (older ones but who cares?). And a unlit redstone torch is hard, but not impossible to see. A string however, is very hard to see (almost impossible) and could be OP.

    The unlit redstone torch as the betty is a realistic approach to replicating bouncing bettys. You see, a unlit redstone torch, when placed in a open field is easily spotted, however, behind a corner, in the dark, on top of ladder, in the bushes, etc, etc, the betty is barely seen and the enemy would see it at the last second before getting a explosion in the face! :wink:

    Krcoon, correction on the part when you said "And with a delay that allows your victims to flee....".
    The coorection should be: "And with a delay that allows your victims to flee, if, they are paying attention!" :stuck_out_tongue:

    Said there was a delay in the explosion...
    If you make it a string it not be OP because it shoots a firework which is highly visible and the 8 ticks should be good for an expirienced player to evade the blast...

    To Krcoon: Fine, I'll make it string. And I was editing so I left a part out.

    Then mention it was a joke...
    Flaming on the other hand is not a joke...
    Only YOU can prevent flaming!

    'Hi I'm your friendly neighborhood krcoon, and I approve this message!"

    Okay... +1 for now, but I still doubt they'll add them... sorry bud...

    The firework would obviously be coded to only go a few blocks into the air, mimicing a bouncing betty.

    *Firework goes into sky* Ha! You missed! *Firework comes down at him* Dang it. *Explodes in face*

    In Minecraft, this won't work. But, it would be funny.

    I know how to do that. I was just lazy there.
