No chance to avoid a snake???

This problem has some sort of occured to me, too.

I logged in on my laptop (which took a while) and before my avatar was loaded, I was already in combat with (and poisened by) a rattler.
I had no chance to keep myself from getting k.o.

So I had the idea of some sort of spawn protection, maybe a minute or so (no combat/damage)? So that you're not practically k.o. before you're in the game.

make a pclaim and use walls.
