Additions[]

Particles
  • New sweepAttack particle.
    • Used for the new defensive "sweep" attack.

Changes[]

Items[]

Axes
  • New offensive attack.
    • Hitting another player who is blocking with a shield has a chance to disable the player's shield for 5 seconds.
      • 25% base chance, plus 5 percentage points for each level of Efficiency on the axe, plus 75 percentage points if sprinting.
      • This is visible on the shield icon through a "rolling curtain" animation.
Chorus fruit & ender pearls
  • Now have a cool-down every time they are used.
    • Have the same animation as the shields.

  • New defensive attack while crouching or standing and having a full damage bar.
    • Mobs near the one hit (bounding box expanded by 1 block horizontally and 0.25 vertically) and within 3 blocks of the attacker are knocked back without damage. Knockback is 80% of that done by Knockback I and is not affected by the Knockback enchantment.

Gameplay[]

Combat
  • Added the attack speed tooltip.
  • When an attack is blocked by a shield, the attacker may be knocked back.
  • Different attack speeds and damages for different tools.
    • Hoes are the fastest, but only slightly more powerful than before, axes are much more powerful, but are also the slowest.
