Hello... *SNEEZE* sorry, *sniff* I have a cold and I thought it should be a debuff that has a chance to be inflicted by staying in the surface and underground ice biomes for one in-game hour, this chance is increased every 5 in-game minutes,
It does the following things...
  • A chance to "sneeze" knocking the player a few blocks backwards
  • In PvP dealing and taking melee damage has a chance to give your victim or attacker The Cold
  • The player walks ever so slightly slowly becuase he/she is cold this is increased in ice biomes but the player is immune to this in desert biomes
Heres how you would get rid of it:
  • Meds / Medical Drugs - you can consume them to get rid of it
  • Flu Vaccine - crafted with Glass and a bar of iron to get syringe and then combine the syringe with 2 med's - consumed to be immune to the cold for 1 in-game week
I hope you leik *SNEEEEEZE!!!* :(
Feel free to give any suggestions... btw sorry for lack of info.

We have Vitamins in game so that could be the immunity item. Also, instead of December event it should occur in Snow biomes and after contact with ice for like 1 hour. How about that?
 
For whatever reason I like this, although it would be annoying. I think you should have to get some item and consume it to get rid of the cold. Maybe you could also get a shot to prevent it in the future.
 
Some good suggestions...

I like where... *SNEEZE* *sniff* your going with that like one hour in game? and instead of contact wit ice, after 1 (in-game) hour in the snow biome you have a chance to have it inflicted, this chance increases every five (in-game) minutes and by 3 (in-game) hours this chance will be 100%.

where would you get it? a drop? crafted? Oh... *SNEEEEZE* what about glass and an iron bar to get a syringe, and add 2 med's to get the vaccine and it would last an in-game week.

So, instead of equipping med's you consume them? or an entirely different item?

So I'm gonna get a ridiculous near-permanent debuff just for staying in the snow biome for three minutes? Yeah, no. I don't mind a joke debuff with minuscule effects to gameplay, but having a chance to get kicked around out of nowhere(for playing a game longer than three minutes) is not on my nice list.
 
So I have to leave the snow biome every three minutes for two minutes so I can.... well, play? That's stupid.

You know how they applied the correct debuff, without too much hindrance on gameplay? Getting into water in a snow biome. Slow for 5 seconds after you got out. Yours is way too annoying to consider.

Look, I don't want to have to take unnecessary precautions to enter my favorite biome just because you have a cold, alright? The snow biome is no more a hazard area than than forest or jungle. If I don't need to have coolants when I jump into hell, or bug sprays in the jungle(or sanity checks for Hallow/Crimson/Corruption), then I bloody :red:ing :red: don't need shots for a cold in snow biome.

You want something cool, I get it. But think of the gameplay aspect, first and foremost. A near-permanent debuff just for being in a relatively safe biome for over three minutes is ridiculous, no matter how you spin it.
