Usage[]
Placed Punji Sticks apply Slowness II to the player/mob when walked onto. They will also do damage, based on how many Punji Sticks are in one square, from one stick dealing 1/2 heart, to five sticks dealing 1 1/2 hearts of damage.
Despite the similarities to cactus, Punji Sticks will not erase dropped items, making them ideal for mob farms. Collection can be made easier with vanilla hoppers.
Trivia[]
They are based on a defense used during the Vietnam War, of making a pit with sharpened bamboo stakes to impale those who fall in. The Tinker's construct Punji Stick appears to just be sharpened shoots that cause damage when walked on.
