No/reduced knockback from bows

This would nerf bow spam. The Punch enchantment would still work. Alternatively, only make knockback take effect when the bow is charged up to a certain point, but not when quickly spammed. Bows are currently very strong compared to how easy they are to get.

    Realistically... an arrow wouldn't throw you backwards when it lodges into you. This idea makes sense to me, and it would make Punch more important because arrows would have almost no knockback without it.

    Just use netherite...also, when you are hit by a high speed projectile, it gives you knockback, because it tends to maintain its speed and direction

    To the previous commenter: "Bows are currently very strong compared to how easy they are to get." Netherite is not an early game item like bows. They are simply too powerful. I know people get upset when an item is nerfed, but I think this would be a positive thing in the end.

    Bows are useful for knocking people off on bridges, I think that that would allow people to run from more fights which would be highly annoying.
