Item Concept: The Detonator

[Nirahz]

>> ITEM CONCEPT <<
​

With the BedWars shop being the exact same for a while, we're always trying to think of new, fun additions to add. We believe we've come up with a pretty balanced item that, in concept, should be very fun to use. We've dubbed it: "The Detonator".

The Detonator is an item that can be purchased for 2 Emeralds. The concept is simple: Right-click with the item in your hand, and you will explode, killing you instantly and dealing a good amount of KnockBack (and/or potentially damage) to enemies nearby. Additionally, it will have the possibility to destroy player-placed blocks, so think of it as an "instant-TNT". As with any item, we've had to add some drawbacks to prevent it being the main meta. I'll list some of the pros and cons below, and encourage you to come up with crazy and fun strategies for this item in the comments.

+ If you're facing opponents that are particularly good at dealing with TNT rushing and/or tool rushing, you may want to use this item as a way to expose their bed defense to your teammate.
+ If you find yourself alone on a bridge facing two opponents, you may want to decide to detonate yourself and knock them off the bridge. Double kill! (Well, triple )

- If used in the first scenario, this item will be practically useless unless you're rushing with a teammate.
- It's fairly expensive, and there are alternatives for the price that might be even better for rushing (e.g. a set of potions).



Let me hear your opinions in the comments!
Yours truly,
Nirahz

(NOTE 2: If we get positive feedback, we may add the item in private games as a trial, before making it an addition to the normal shop. Keep that in mind!)

When I first read the title, I thought it's gonna be like a C4 where you plant it and it's hidden and you got like a button to press to explode, or it gets exploded whenever someone passes over.



Now back on-topic, I enjoy the idea, it's one of its kind as it takes cooperation to benefit from it.

Good idea but maybe make it so if you have iron or diamond armor it wont completely kill you? Then it would be instant TNT and u could break their bed, of course you'll take kb and most likely vertical so u go flying so u might just die from fall damage but I can see it working well if theres a roof
