Pharaoh’s Arrow

Pharaoh's Arrow mod adds a cursed arrow and a binding status effect that buries targets in sand.

• Pharaoh's Arrow item (Combat tab, stacks to 16, rare) fires from bows or crossbows. On hit it applies Sand Bind, plays a sand impact sound, and spawns falling sand particles.
• Sand Bind immobilizes the victim, stops sprinting/jumping, and blocks them from breaking blocks while affected.
• Each second, custom sand layer blocks form at the target's feet and on all sides; layers stack upward like snow until the column covers their head, then periodic in-wall damage begins to suffocate them. Sand placement triggers falling-dust particles and sand placement sounds with faint golden sparks.
• Sand layer blocks use sand visuals and collision like snow layers and are available as an item in the Natural tab.
• Effect duration is long (intended to last until the target dies), and sand remains in the world after the victim is gone.

Known notes and future ideas:

• Sand only grows into empty or replaceable spaces; cramped areas may limit how quickly the sand rises.
• Sand from the binding does not auto-clear; consider a cleanup mechanic or decay if you want the battlefield to reset over time.
