- By checking this box, I am saying that I have read the guidelines and believe to be following them to the best of my ability
Description of feature request
Once the player acquires an Elytra, the Wither Storm becomes a comparatively lesser threat, aside from effects such as Wither Sickness. I understand and respect the guidelines stating that tentacle attacks will not be added. However, this suggestion would only apply when the player is flying underneath or directly touching the tentacles. It may also be easier to implement than ground-based grabbing or striking mechanics, since the Wither Storm typically remains at a high altitude. In this case, the tentacles would behave normally under standard conditions but would knock the player back a significant distance if contacted while flying with an Elytra.

First of all, elytra is a very late game item so i think having an advantage over the wither storm is perfectly fine as it is,
Second, the wither storm can grab flying players with tractor beams? The only thing in this mod that gives total immunity to wither storm attacks is potion of invisibility and its also very hard to get.
Also, what is big knockback going to do to a flying player immune to fall damage?

It literally was known for making the nether safer than the overworld
First, some people beat the game before defeating the Wither Storm. Look at the video “Killing the Wither Storm” by Ninja Vault dude gets an Elytra and beats the game before the Wither Storm.
Second, it can grab you with tractor beams, but you can easily escape using firework rockets.
This is just a quality-of-life change. The Wither Storm can only drag you into its tractor beams, and you can escape anyway. It’s supposed to be more than a damn vacuum cleaner.
You said, “Having an advantage over the Wither Storm is fine.” Bro, you already do. With an Elytra and fireworks, it can’t touch you. It’s useless. The only real threats are your world or Wither Sickness.
Big knockback vs fall immunity fall damage immunity doesn’t make knockback irrelevant. Knockback can slam you into mountains, clip your Elytra, ruin your trajectory, fling you out of render distance, or shove you into world hazards. It still breaks the player’s control, which is gamey and dangerous.
Even if the suggestion got added, it would still be powerless. It’s just meant to look threatening. Fly the wrong way, and it’ll smack you across the map with its tentacles. That’s it. You will also be prone to crashing into mountains.
I provided a lot more information, and now you finally understand. At first, I probably didn’t give enough details for anyone to really get it.
Elytra behaviour around the Wither Storm is a bit iffy regardless, perhaps we could think of something that would help balance elytras in the future
