The Curse - Witch Overhaul, Flying Witches, Broomsticks, & Stiffness Effect

Witches need a major upgrade, and this idea adds new danger, new items, and a rare world event that makes witches feel magical and threatening.

• Flying Witches (2% chance): At night, some witches spawn riding broomsticks. They fly in circles, throw potions every 2 seconds, and stay 10–15 blocks above the player. If killed while flying, they have a 25% chance to drop a rideable broomstick.

• Broomstick Item: A slow, hover‑capable flying mount with durability that recharges in a cauldron using glowstone dust. Pets can ride with you for cosmetics.

• New Effect: Stiffness: A magical paralysis effect. Players and mobs hit by Stiffness cannot move, attack, mine, place blocks, or use items for a short time.

• The Curse (Full Moon Event): Very rare (1 in 300 nights). 10–15 flying witches appear and rain potions from the sky. If the player is hit by Stiffness, all witches land, surround the player, and perform a 10–20 second Ritual, throwing synchronized waves of harmful potions.

• New Enchantment: Magic Protection I–IV: Reduces magic damage and shortens effect durations, including Stiffness.

This update would make witches more unique, challenging, and memorable, especially in Hardcore mode.
