Creating a Defensive Perimeter with Projectile Knockback

Setting Up Your Defense

Use snowballs and eggs to establish a no-entry zone around your base or position. The knockback effect creates an invisible barrier that keeps attackers at distance.

Defensive Positioning

1. Stand at a chokepoint (doorway, bridge entrance, or narrow corridor)

2. Stock multiple stacks of snowballs and eggs in your inventory

3. Throw projectiles at any approaching threat

4. The knockback pushes enemies back, preventing them from advancing

Layered Defense Strategy

Combine this with other defenses:

  • Walls and barriers: Use terrain to funnel attackers into your projectile range
  • Elevated positions: Stand higher than attackers to gain throwing advantage
  • Multiple defenders: Have teammates throw simultaneously for overwhelming knockback
  • Retreat paths: Keep escape routes open behind your defensive line

Sustaining the Defense

Maintain large reserves of snowballs and eggs before conflict. Set up chicken farms and snow block storage near your defensive positions. This mod transforms simple projectiles into crowd-control tools, allowing small groups to hold positions against larger forces through sustained knockback pressure.
