Java Re-introduce knockback mushroom in map Mushrooms

[noobisbeast]

Hey guys,

So I (and lots of others) loved the map Mushrooms, mainly because the knockback mushroom was lots of fun. Yes, it's OP but it fits the map perfectly and if you know your opponents (can) have the mushroom, you can pick out tactical places to fight.

I get why the mushroom was removed from the map. However, I'm creating this topic to see if we can re-introduce the knockback mushroom. Yes, it was OP, but the main reason it was OP was because you could get it for just 2 emeralds.

Let's give another example; in Under da Sea, we have the Sharpness VI sword. This sword is also OP, but because it costs 6 emeralds there is no simple way to get the sword. You have to farm at mid for a longer time in order to get the sword, thus fighting a lot of players (usually) so after all it's difficult to get away with 6 emeralds.

Why don't we just do the same with the knockback mushroom? Make the price around 6-10 emeralds and maybe even restrict the mushroom to OP gamemode only. This will bring a lot of fun of the map back, while removing the OP part of the knockback mushroom for the biggest part (by making it way more expensive and restrict it to OP gamemode only).

What do you guys think? :)

Let me know and please vote for the poll.

Thanks!

I agree so much! I love OP stuff, such as the mushroom, so +1.

The mushroom should be introduced again. ! :D

Can we get more votes so we know what the majority wants? :)

No, the item itself is fun for that 1 lucky player that gets it, but for everyone else it's completely unfair and can ruin the playing experience.

I completely agree.
Imagine someone camping on his island and you killed all the people in game, suddenly you get knocked into the void.
It wouldn't be fun if a person just knock players off the map by only finding a lucky item.
It's a great concept, but I understand why it's removed.

A different mode of SkyWars (not a voting option) like we have on our Bedrock Network, Chaos SkyWars, would make sense in this case for our Java network where the loot in the game is something crazy - but that's not for me to decide to bring over to Java.

Give it to everybody then. make it cheap and put it on lucky islands extreme mode

I don't think that is a good idea, because it would be a completely different game.
Instead of fighting in the game it's just like the mineware minigame (just knocking players off).
It wouldn't be fun for some people who get knocked off the map everytime.
Btw in lucky islands there is already a knockback item (the wooden sword).

It should be added back, back when it existed mushrooms was so fun. Everyone was at mid trying to get it from the emerald gen. These days you just have all the players camping their diamond gen/the semi-mid island's diamond gen all game... BORING!!!
Also there's a certain kit you can use to counter the knockback mushroom so its not that OP, but if looneyFOOL still thinks its OP then they can just increase the price to 3 emeralds or something

Finally someone that mentioned the current measure in place to help balance the item in question! Increasing the price to 3 emeralds still sort of means nothing, especially when you just have to wait an extra like, minute for those, of which when uncontested means nothing still and we're back to square one.

I think if its added, the pvp going to be affected, i think will be unfair in some points. :)
