    About ninja's pearl, I was just thinking to myself, what if your pearl can avoid hitting your teammates and it's able to go through them instead. There's been countless amount times I've tried pearling but I kept getting blocked by my own teammates. Also, I've seen people take a sponge and they try to pearl, but they get blocked in the air, and then they die from fall damage. More so when a sponge is near spawn and everyone takes it. Just an idea I wanted to share. Maybe other people will get motivated to post theirs too if they have any. (Also, Idk the limits to coding so this might not be possible to have)

    Really great idea, just not sure how possible this would be. I would also add in other projectiles such as elf/archer/pyro arrows, mage spells, ninja eggs, chemist pots etc (I think all these are currently blocked by teammates?)

    Ice Bear is sure this is possible, in MCWAR friendly projectiles pass through teammates so it should be able to be done with ender pearls too.

    Although itd make playing a tad bit easier, I dont really see why we'd need to change default MC laws of "physics" to make this so
    Everyone is already accustomed to playing the way it is atm and it makes sense...but certainly not a bad idea!

    (War is based on small/fine projectile pvp, so teammate trolling or accidental blockage could get out of hand and ruin the fun - here on CTF it's not as much of an issue tho)

    IMO this depends on how easy it is to code, if it‘s a 5 minute job then sure, otherwise I‘d say put it on the back burner

    I think it’d be better just to stick to ender pearls going through teammates. Playing archer you could easily kill off people who are in a big group fight, if your arrows go through your teammates. Chemist pots need to hit teammates so they can get buffs as well. I wouldn’t be as against it for pyro and elf though, but keeping it simple seems like a better option.

    I agree about archer and chemist (I was meaning damage/poison but it doesn't make a huge difference) but for elf, pyro, and mage I would argue it creates an equally large gameplay issue as the ender pearls. As elf it is difficult to keep a chain of pure shots when a teammate is fighting the same enemy as they get blocked, similar story for pyro in a crowded flagroom. Mage basically can't land any damage or freeze if a teammate is in between them and the enemy.

    I really like this idea! there have been so many times where I've tried to go after the flag carrier and i just pearl right into my teammates and it makes me 1.) lose health which is important and on a clock when it comes to pearling as a ninja and 2.) still behind them..

    I think this would be helpful for gameplay :smile:
