- *Is your suggestion for the server and/or forum: Server
- *For which gamemode is this suggestion: Skywars
- *Description of suggestion: Swords with the knockback 1 enchantment should be removed from chests on Skywars. They are unbalanced and if a player has one, it is very difficult for them to not win. Very often a player without a knockback sword will be fighting another player with a knockback sword. Because of the way Skywars works, the player with the knockback sword is going to win 99% of the time unless they cannot hit the other player. I find this annoying because often I will hit a player several times in a row and they will be very low on health and then they will get one hit off with their knockback sword knocking me into the void. I do not think hitting someone once and watching them fly into the void is a representation of a player's skill level. Removing knockback swords will lower the amount of luck it takes to win a Skywars game.
- Possible side effects of suggestion: Skywars games will be just a little more skill based and players will not have to worry about being knocked off a ledge in 1 hit when they are several blocks away from the ledge. I am aware that the Skywars player count is usually low but removing knockback swords will make the game more balanced, enjoyable, and more skill-based than it is now.
- Screenshot/Video showing suggestion: Here are two examples from random games that show how overpowered knockback swords are:
- In the second video I realize that two of the players were standing right on the ledge. In several cases, they will be standing a few blocks away from the edge. If they are hit with a non-knockback sword while standing several blocks away, they would not be knocked off and might be able to win the battle. A knockback sword would knock them into the void giving with no chance of them fighting even if they were 4-5 blocks away from the edge.
