    Starting item: Sand block

    Ability: Right clicking your sand block turns all solid and non-solid blocks around you (10x10 radius) into non-flowing water blocks. You can right click your sand block again to return the blocks to normal or they will automatically return to normal in 10 seconds.

    Details:
    - You have Nightvision and Water Breathing while in your transformed water
    - You cannot attack anything unless 70% of your hitbox is exposed to air
    - The transformed water only affects YOU. For other players it will appear as though you are "swimming through blocks" (hence the name)
    - Failing to swim to air after the 10 seconds is up will result in the player being trapped in blocks, tough luck!

    (I think I covered everything)

    Whoops! I meant 10x10

    I had 20x20 the first time I had this idea and even then someone said it was too big so I put it to 10x10

    10x10 might be a little to big still but if you are trying to affect players this might be the right dimensions. But however, since this is a good teaming kit, most teams are around 5 blocks near you at all times so a 5x5 would be ideal for teams. When you say, "swimming in blocks" it doesn't give me a visual image on how you would code that into HG.

    I don't understand what you mean. I can elaborate in case you didn't understand what I meant:

    Activating your ability turns all blocks within a 10x10 radius of where you activated into solid water blocks. This change is only visible by you and only affects you. For other players it will look as if you are just floating through blocks when you are really floating through water (like how it looks like people are stuck in the ground when it's laggy on some servers - unless they fixed that).
    Sandman simplified basically just gives you the ability to walk through walls and hide in the ground for a limited amount of time.

    I think it may be too similar to Spectre in the advantages it gives you. The only advantages that I can think of to this are quick breaks from fights to refill, attempts to escape, and surprise attacks from trapping, which Spectre can do as well.

    This kit does have the ability to snake through walls in caves though, which could be cool.

    I just don't think it has any original advantages. It's a cool kit in the way it functions I just don't see the practical use compared to other kits.

    Maybe the kit should give you depth strider once the blocks transform, so you can easily move around while in your transformed water. Otherwise it would be impossible to move flexibly.

    What's the point of this kit? I don't find any point in allowing you to go through water and others don't. You're just slowing yourself down

    I thought of that but I forgot what the enchant was called <_<

    I'm sorry but if you can't think of any uses for this kit then I doubt your creativity. Do I really have to spell it out:

    -Escaping traps
    -Creating traps
    -Refilling
    -Climbing trees/safely going up the top of towers
    -mlg water
    -navigating through caves
    -mobility in crammed areas

    Have you noticed how a lot of kits are similar to hacking clients? Have you noticed how this kit is functionally the same as noclip?

    I strongly disagree with the similarities to spectre other than the fact that they can both kind of escape a fight for a while. The closest thing would really be blink and maaaaaybe burrower.

    But I get it guys; nobody seems interested in the kit for reasons I don't quite understand.

    Even if we don't like the kit, you don't need to be rude.

    This reminds me of burrower, and it seems like the advantages/perks are quite similar between both kits?
    However, the idea doesn't sound half bad but I'm not sure if it would be too practical for a HG environment considering it'll probably end up being really glitchy and doesn't really provide that many advantages which you have in other kits.

    Perhaps I'm looking at the kit wrongly, but that's my two cents on the idea.
