My Dream

I have just read the 1.9 new item features and it states that sword blocking will be entirely eradicated. Instead, they are introducing shields for blocking. So if this is true then r.i.p block hitting

It looks disgusting to me

No sword blocking, shields will be implemented instead.

Hopefully they bring back 1.7 combat features back. I don't really know what to expect from the double-wielding. Sword on one hand and rod on the other seems cool

Whatever happens, some people will like it, some people will hate it.

The 1.9 update is more focused on PVP, and they're not ignoring people's advice. Hopefully then it shall be a good update!

Whatever happens I predict that a lot of the "good" players will complain because it's different. I mean, it happens almost every other time so why would a combat update be any different?

But looking at the wiki it seems like a lot of the features are optional, like shields and arrow types. MCGamer could decide whether or not to add them.

It is, but you can only use a weapon in your main hand.

I'd like to see more PvP OPTIONS. Maybe an attribute affects your reach with a sword to make sure PvP is still fun, and maybe the server.properties could prioritize PvP combat over breaking blocks, decreasing lag. If we could make Minecraft like 1.6, 1.7, and 1.8 all in one update, it would be amazing, and there would be a lot more variety in PvP.
