**Idea:** Snowballs which would deal no knockback, but instead apply an effect to the target player. **More information:** Making them rare with a limited stack size might be good for balancing Examples : Only two I can think of are slowness snowball (mentioned on discord) and levitation snowball (Make them take some fall damage!) I welcome any other ideas for this in the replies! Edit: Weakness could also work for this. (-1 damage for example) Personally I’m against tick damage snowballs (fire, poison) as I feel it would be too op. ---

Levitation would cause problems. ---

instead of levitation make it give slow falling or smth, levitation would be an instant kill if ur any good at all bc bow + fall damage + u can hit them while theyre floating up and they wouldn’t be able to reach u ---

Yeah I just gave a random idea. Fire would not be good. ---

I actually really like this idea but I feel like removing the knockback makes it harder to get combos and I love hitting combos, but mainly I think instead of that there should be separate snowballs that have different effects throughout the game like, the effect changes and there’s like a notification. For example, in the first minute or two there’s poison and then it’ll change to weakness and so but these potions shouldn’t have too long of a duration. Voted!!! ---

It wouldn’t replace current snowballs, it would be a new item with it applying an effect instead of knockback. It could be a weekly item where the effect changes each week. ---

Not to replace but a separate one so basically have both but the special effect one would have a different texture. A weekly item sounds good. ---

Perhaps it could be an egg texture instead of snowballs as they kinda work the same in these gamemodes. I prefer how snowballs look though ---
