Option to enable snowball knockback on player hit.

Apparently snowball/egg knockback was a longstanding bug in Spigot and wasn't suppose to be a thing.

Would it be possible to implement an OCM module to allow for snowball/egg player knockback and/or damage? As it was a prevalent thing in my PVP arena community. :(

Can you test out the projectile knockback module in build #70? I'm not entirely sure I got the knockback values correct

@gvlfm78 It seems you are able to hurt players in non-pvp areas and knockback players who are in creative or have godmode enabled. Would it be possible to only allow for knockback / damage if players are able to get hit / pvp normally?

As this allows a way for players to hurt each other in non-pvp zones and effectively annoy / push around people who are in creative or have godmode enabled.

As for the knockback values itself, I'm not entirely sure what the default would be. Instead of artificially moving players a distance and doing damage, would it be better to just do a standard hit damage event that normally applies a knockback effect? That way you would not be able to damage or move players if you can't normally hit / pvp a player?

Something similar to this plugin.

I just released an update for this, as it is a serious issue to be able to damage players while in creative mode/protected areas. I also made it so it doesn't add knockback artificially, but simply alters the damage when hit by a snowball/egg/enderpearl
