And to be fair, I probably would want that. Not only would it make engineering useful without having to add a ton of new stuff, it would also fix how easy it is to run and how hard it is to catch.

It also cannot be loaded onto a boat, meaning it would not be as useful as you would think. Sure, mainland people would love it, and so would desert and plateau, but most islands just are not big enough to make this useful. In my opinion, it is underpowered as of current, hardly overpowered. Screw that, let's add FLAMING arrows! You would need engineering to make a device which you attach to your bow (in the same way you put in ammo). Then, you could right click (WAHHH NO IOS) to set the arrow's tip aflame. However, you wouldn't be able to run around with deadly ammo, because it would burn out if you kept it aflame for 10 seconds (Middle click or press Q to extinguish).
