Hey again! Here's an update on the test snapshots for combat mechanics. It's pretty much the same as the previous test, but there are a number of edits that I'll describe below, and a few clarifications.
Old post here, with nearly 5,000 comments: https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/c5mqwv/a_custom_java_edition_snapshot_to_test_new_combat/
These are the edits in this version:
Decreased attack speed of swords
Attacking while crouching will now disable the shield during the attack
Shields protect against critical attacks again
Removed auto-attacking by holding the button
Fixed creative mode bugs
Fixed scale of the hotbar attack indicator
Some clarifications:
The theme of the next major update will be announced at MINECON. These combat tests are done in parallel and will be included when they're good enough (i.e. the next theme is not "combat update")
Weapon reach is always active (not only for special attacks), but during special attacks the reach is increased by an additional half a block
Hold to auto-attack will always be enabled for controller and touch
Installation instructions:
For some reason the last few challenges have seen many people posting placeholders in the comments. There is no limit for entries to this challenge. Posting a placeholder for a challenge like this gains absolutely no advantage. Besides, many of these placeholders never even completed their builds last challenge, cluttering up the comment section. So, all in all, all these placeholder comments are unnecessary and not allowed. When you finish your build, post it here. If you want to hype people up, post a little blurb beneath the main comment I make and you can discuss it with people there.
After I looked at this build and decided it was my personal favorite, I happened to see a comment which described it as "the most simple yet beautiful build". I realized that's exactly how I would describe it too. It's not a "tough build" for instance. Anyone with a little practice could construct aqueducts like that. With a little imagination, that type of terrain could be made. With a little research and a few attempts, you could build those cranes. But everything fit so nicely together. The path and the stone cliff between both pieces of the aqueduct was especially nice and pleasing to the eyes rather than a regular landscape. I also really liked how the world border was used. That created an interesting effect on the outside of the build that I never would have thought possible.
Amazing build!
From ancient times to modern times!
