Hi,
I'm Nikhil, a prefinal year CSE undergrad. I like to make games more than I like to play them, and I wasn't really into Minecraft as a player. But I'd love to contribute and add my touch to the game!
-> I noticed that for ArrowAction (crossbow) the arrow isn't visible and the target block is directly damaged. The Fireball is a more realistic version of a projectile wherein you can see it move and strike the target (if anyone else moves so as to obstruct the fireball, they will be damaged).
-> It also has a health component. It takes as much damage as it deals. Therefore it can destroy more than 1 block in its path (depends on the health of the blocks and the fireball).
Since the shape of the ball is a big rectangle, the collision is a bit imperfect in that only the center of the rectangle is considered. I'm in the process of figuring out how to make it look like a small cube. It was kind of fun and I felt great going around and shooting fireballs after I got them to work. This is something I like about game development.
I know I'm late, but I'm thinking about my proposal and will update it here. I'm considering Cameras as Components and the plate tectonics one.

. You could potentially get to look into the particle system to attempt some sort of effect for the fireball (which would in turn hide, or obscure) the shape of the fire"ball". Still, pretty cool. Will check it out when I get some time!
