The tractor beam should get stronger as the wither storm grows to a bigger phase example it can attract more blocks it can bring mobs and things faster and for more cool you should be able to change the power of the beam and the speed of the absorbing

ok this will be more difficult to escape in later stages 💀💀

Idea to add onto this: the more things in the tractor beam (blocks, entities, etc.) The slower the tractor beam is.

That shouldn't really matter because in episode 4 of mcsm when they build big distractions the wither storm still managed to pick all of the buildings with his tractor beam fast

Well, I mean, in most other situations it seems to be a thing, like when Jesse is running along the bridge and the storm picks up a lot of blocks and Jesse, the tractor beam is slow.

Have you watched episode 4? When they build the distractions the wither storm picks them up like they are nothing, when Jesse got picked up with the chickens the wither storm was just beginning to get stronger

Well, yeah, as the storm evolves, the amount of entities required to slow the beam can be raised and it could probably even just end up straight up ignoring blocks in the tractor beam for slowing down the beam once it gets to phase 5.5

or maybe the tractor beam is slow for the storm's main target, but faster for distraction targets. in story mode ep1, its seen that background citizens get sucked up in the beam way faster then when the storm sucks up Jesse, Petra, or Gabriel.
