Bring Back Pot Arrows in OpLifesteal
Detailed description:
Pot arrows have been part of the Lifesteal experience for a very long time, going all the way back to normal Lifesteal and continuing through OpLifesteal. For around eight seasons, players had access to them, and they became a normal part of the gameplay. Used them during fights, and managed their inventories with them in mind. Then, suddenly, in Season 9, they were removed because they were considered a "bug."
Like i just have one question:
My question is simple: if pot arrows were available for so many seasons and became a normal part of the game, why was removing them considered the best solution?
The main reason why we want pot arrows back is simple: inventory management in Lifesteal is already difficult enough, and pot arrows made it much easier.
Like what was the point of removing them if the alternative is less convenient for the average player?
Splash potions already exist, but that doesn't automatically mean they are a better replacement. Players have different preferences, and a feature that offers a more convenient way to use healing items shouldn't be removed simply because another option exists. And I've seen from other players, splash potions were not a popular enough alternative to make removing pot arrows feel justified.
Bringing back pot arrows would give players more spaces in their inventory, reduce the need to constantly refill potions, and restore a familiar feature that many players want to see return. If there are balancing concerns, those can be discussed and addressed without immediately removing the feature altogether.

Reason(s):
Why Pot Arrows Should Return?
They Were Part of Lifesteal for Around Eight Seasons.
One of the biggest reasons to bring pot arrows back is their history on the server.
They were available throughout normal Lifesteal and OpLifesteal for approximately eight seasons. That is a significant amount of time. Players became familiar with them, learned how to use them, and incorporated them into their everyday gameplay.
When a feature remains available for that long, players naturally begin to treat it as part of the game. Removing it changes the way they prepare for fights, organize their inventories, and manage their resources.
Season 9's removal of pot arrows changed something that many players had already accepted as normal. Even if the original implementation was technically considered a bug, that does not mean the feature itself has no value.
Just because something started as a bug doesn't mean the only possible solution is to remove it. If it works well for the game and the community enjoys it, it can be worth turning it into an official feature. And it wasn't a game breaker bug or any dangerous bug. Its just a normal arrows same as splash potion.
Inventory Space Is Extremely Important in Lifesteal.
Anyone who regularly plays Lifesteal knows how quickly an inventory fills up.
You need your gear, weapons, food, pearls, healing items, and other supplies. Depending on what you're doing, you might also need extra equipment, raid materials, or space to collect valuable loot.
Now imagine having to dedicate additional slots to potions when those slots could be used for something much more useful.
Splash Potions Are Not a Satisfactory Replacement.
Removing pot arrows doesn't automatically make splash potions a better option.
The problem is that splash potions don't address the core complaint about inventory management. Players still need to carry healing supplies, and they still have to manage the space those supplies occupy.
splash potions were not a sufficiently popular replacement to justify removing an option that players had been familiar with for so many seasons.
Bringing back pot arrows would give players more choice instead of forcing everyone to adapt to a system that may be less convenient for them.

Examples of Why Bringing Them Back Makes Sense?
Example 1: Running Out of Potions During a Fight.
Imagine you're fighting another player. You've already spent time preparing your gear, gathering resources, and traveling to the area.
Without pot arrows, your options become much more limited. You either continue fighting with what you have, risk losing because you cannot heal effectively, or leave the situation to refill your supplies.
If you need to restock, you might have to return to your base or use RTP, find a suitable location, open your shulker, remove more potions, reorganize your inventory, and then going back to the area.
All of this takes time and interrupts the gameplay.
2. Fighting Multiple Players.
Consider a situation where you're fighting several opponents at once.
You need to pay attention to your positioning, your health, the number of opponents, your equipment, and the supplies you have available.
In that situation, constantly worrying about how many potion remain or whether you have enough inventory space adds another layer of inconvenience.
Pot arrows would provide another way to manage healing supplies and leave room for other useful items. Having 64 pots arrows in your inventory and you're done.
