Slowness word

[Fesa]

I have an idea for a new sword!
It's a slowness sword. (wooded sword as I think iron would be too much with the slowness effect) When used you give all players who are at max 5 blocks in front of you slowness (I) for 5s.
When breaking the luck block it would make the poof* particle in combination with the sound that plays when walking over soul sand (can't find the Minecraft id). The cooldown on the sword would be 10s (thx @ValentinoGV_ for reminding me of that!)
With command blocks (and functions) I made a little preview of how it would look like. With amazing written explanation.

The explanation is horrible! Oops

Spoiler: YouTube video

In the video I used a carrot on a stick for technical reasons. I also hid the slowness particles on accident so that's why don't see them. :p


I'm good at making the stuff, not presenting them. Never mind that, what do you guys think?

I think it isn't a bad idea at all, but you should add like a 10-15sec cooldown

It's a very cool idea. Maybe you can just add it like a carrot-on-stick item. You probably only use it for slowing people down. I see no point in using a sword, but still cool!:)

This could be useful, but probably would need a decent-length cooldown like 20-30 seconds.

I would like this idea with some more cooldown. Also nice that you added a video to expain it!

 

[_The13thDoctor_]

Not a bad idea, I'd like if it had a cooldown so you can't spam it, seeing as slowness is and can be very powerful if used correctly, maybe 10 second cooldown? Other than that, looks pretty good! +1

The idea itself is very creative and good, though this is sadly nothing I personally would like to see.

In any pvp gamemode and actually especially Lucky Islands people will sometimes have to run and regen health or just in general take distance from a fight due to all the stuff you can get in lucky blocks. So in my opinion, this would be way too op as slowing someone down for 5 seconds is more than enough to kill them and they got no chance at all to get away.

While running because you’re low, there’s countless of things you can do such as block trap, turn around and shoot the player behind you, throw slimes at them ect and it would take away the fun of doing that.

A potential solution is making it a nearly worn out wooden sword with 10-15 second cooldown on crazy mode? Could balance it out?

Possibly, that could work but in my opinion it would still take away a lot of the fun with Lucky Islands since it would be impossible to get away from someone with that sword.

True, whist on the flipside I have had chaces that have lasted quite a while and had people who just kept getting away and making it very difficult to finish them off. At this point I'm for whatever is decided about this idea, added or not.

 

[General Kenobi]

Balancing is not too important on Lucky Islands. It’s a game about luck. Making it a stone sword that does 5 seconds of slowness 1 (or less) per hit is a good idea.

[Technosword]

This is a great idea, I'm completely on board, however, some changes need to be made to stop this from being op. Maybe less of a reach and high rarity, maybe this shouldn't even be a sword. I think a slowness wand would be much more in the theme of Lucky Islands.

 

[decobra]

I think it’s a good idea but maybe that you can only effect one player per time. And a cooldown otherwise it would be able too be too op

That would be funny! xD

As much as I dislike that my idea hasn’t gotten so much attention. The rules say that you shouldn’t reply to a thread that’s older than 3 weeks :(
