What're your thoughts on 1.9? Would you have done things differently than Mojang if you could, or would you have done the same? Let me know your thoughts in the comments! Following feedback, I've decided to make the subtitles smaller and appear by sentence, so they won't be as distracting, while still being visible, do let me know what your thoughts are on this adjustment as well. :)
I actually loved the combat change, watching friends coming from Bedrock taking months to get the hand of it is hilarious. I also find the Elytra as of today to be much too useful.
I think sword blocking should be brought back. Maybe blocking less than 50% of the damage, and only working when you don't have a shield in your hand. It's just too iconic. It was basically used as an emote
What if blocking with shields reduces damage, and instead with swords we get parrying, meaning that if we time an "sword-block" we can negate the damage taken (On a cooldown of course)
This unfortunately wouldn't work, as any right click action in the main hand is prioritized over another action in the offhand. In other words if sword blocking was added, it would be impossible to use a shield while holding a sword.

I'd like Jeb to add two-handed weapons at some point. Sacrificing the defense of a shield and the throwing ability of trident for overwhelming amount of melee damage.
@Vinícius Schadeck so do you want the game to be hard, or easy. You're one of the people who complains that the game is too easy then complians when resources are too hard to get
@@legoliam596 the game is really easy, this is not the point... you not are getting it hard making geodes exclusive and unmoveable, it make just frustrating... The combate of minecraft is a joke, i not understand who fear anything really on minecraft you can carry a bunch of blocks and make a shell really easy, the fun parte is build funny and cool stuff, both are sadly getting worst and worst due to mojang pratices... i have to grind hours into itens for a small build. this is bad, no one really feel difficult in making a complete equipment nowadays, is just slave villages make trades done diamond full echanted gear, go to nether mine as a stupid mindless person get a bunch of netherid and you are max out... but if you want to make really complex structures to be cool on survival, well it take more time than i want just to harvest stuff down, and build is a lego act of putting down pieces, not hard. The time exploring further to new biomes in each update is the most trash part... I want the new features, new biomes are cool but please fix portals or something, no one use nether hub anymore elytra is soo much efficient that the time used to pass through portals is worthless elytra is really a easier and you can get one about 20 minutes of game or soo... spawn, found village or even just mine 4 iron pieces burn into ingot, one bucked and fling steel ready to go nether stone sword to kill blaze, you need few, go to fortress and the end just flee the dragon or kill it, get elytra tchanam... not exactly hard again and make any other transport way a pure trash... Now i'am playing on survival mode without F3 no coordinates, the game is a little more fun, i have to use compass or maps to better understand some envierment stuff, i did slime farm only counting blocks and digging a giant hole into ground, put barriers and make iron golems in each section to check where slimes will spawn i made it on a 5x5 chunks, ohhh how i know my chunk boards? maps! maps are aligned with chunk boards 16 blocks each chunk 128 blocks the map, make the math! has a offset that is mostly unnoticibla, but is there i guess one block for each side you still arrow on it, after the extra block you are out the map, soo... the time your become a ball on the map, you are looking for a extra block do it with 2 different maps to check, take a while but when i realize was a blast! after knowing the chuncks boards i just count block to make my slime farm properly... did honey and want to make mob trap all without any F3 help... but the game is kinda boring because of elytra getting it into the exploration to much, i prefer sit on my base watch farms works make new ones and stuff like that, was funny to play with villager trades before, but now i need to find especifics echanted books on trasures, i not like it... why i will put a huge effort into a massive and cool trade hall system if i can't afford all books from there anymore? also if i loose all my especial located shit? i can't found new ones? this is the most shittie approuch i ever found... they need combate improvement and mobs that drop itens, not chest with the item inside... I want a sand golem monster as well, glitchers has infinity sand, i not like use it, how hard is to make a entire stuff without it? also TNT use sand and gravel, both is almost impossile to farm properly, sure you can with gravel, but sand is not When you make a game like minecraft, you need think of limitations and if they are almost all stuff inifnity somehow, why make simpler stuff as sand that finity? deserts even has not that much sand i know because i deepleted a lot of deserts in the pass
@@viniciusschadeck4992 So you’re literally complaining that the devs make you explore places so you can get the things you want? The OG commenter is right, this community will never be satisfied.
@@thebushbros6626 sure, never will be. Some people even want that trash spamming clicker combat from 1.8... i hate 1.9 update, but the combat change was really good. My main point of problem in the game is, you not can move biomes arround, change spawn points of most stuff, also you get finity resources arround your spawn of any type... if you break all dungeon spawners they are for good done, as well others structures, but you need to make farm of some of those stuff, soo you need to make a bunch of random places that are always sit there, and build arround it just to farm afk, or activily do a shit stuff to farm as well... they could at least make monsters spawn based on block tipe and make us build up more complex structures to get resources, but always is just annyoung to find and build arround almost the same trap over and over in different locations
I remember recently going back to minecraft, only to be so lost after missing a good decade of updates. "Why cant i turn this ocelot into a house cat?" "Why does every villager look different?" "Why does iron look like that when mined?" And my first time running into a phantom was certainly an experience. Horses were still brand new when I stopped playing, so coming back to such a different game was quite surprising
I returned after several years (mostly consisting of me becoming increasingly obsessed with Monster Hunter, which I am taking a break from for now) and all those things were true for me, aside from the ocelot/housecat thing Mining iron and getting raw iron instead of the ore was perplexing at first but then I later learned that Fortune works on iron/gold (and copper, but who cares about copper) and I immediately welcomed the change with open arms The addition of the deep underground, deepslate and the massive caves in between helped to revitalise my love fir minecraft as well Also swimming… swimming is amazing, especially with Depth Strider! The villager situation was strange too, but when I thought about it; it made more sense, i.e. the ability to clear and then reassign a villager to a new trade assuming you’ve never traded with them yet, it removes the need to cull unwanted villagers and thus is more ethical! The new tree types, especially the Mangrove trees, are awesome too! You can never have enough trees and the Mangrove tree is literally the Oak swamp tree but better in every possible way!
@@PiotrBarcz Rather than taming ocelots in the jungle to get cats, cats are now a separate mob that spawn in villages. Ocelots still spawn, they just don't serve a purpose.
I think one of the reasons why the Minecraft community was so split in context of 1.9 is because not only was it a very controversial update (obviously), but also because after Microsoft bought Mojang (including Minecraft), Microsoft barely touched Minecraft for two years. Many believed that that was the end of Minecraft, and many moved on. Then, 1.9 got released, and the effects of the 2-year silent period definitely amplified the public feedback that Mojang received, for better or for worse. For the most part, the update was a really bad move after 2 years, and with the spread of the negative feedback, those that were considering purchasing the game were likely told not to get it because of 1.9, slowing down sales and deepening the grave that Minecraft was digging for itself. Though, that's just a theory I thought of--it may or may not have played a role in the deceleration of Minecraft's popularity.
@@SuperDuperSeb It only started dying after 1.9 being poorly designed in every possible way (kinda impressive really) 1.10 and 1.11 adding nothing, and 1.12 I think added something probably (the new texture philosophy maybe? I'm not a fan of the smoother style). Are we really going to sit here and say "1.8 bad unrealistic ree" and claim "1.9 high quality" just because they made attacks deal less damage if you click an arbitrary amount of time sooner? By all means, change 1.8 to remove spam clicking; You might remember even the people who would later revile 1.9 weren't against the idea. Give attacks animations and hitboxes, not shooting out a short range laser which hits the opponent before the sword animation even starts. They made a low-effort bad quality update that didn't even address why combat wasn't fun for those who didn't enjoy it. 1.9 brought Crystal PvP into being. The armor changes were bafflingly stupid. They wanted to nerf god armor, so instead of nerfing Protection (enough to matter) they decided to make anything unenchanted only marginally better than nothing. God armor itself still made you effectively immortal against the mobs of the time, so they added "toughness", making powerful attacks ignore armor because Mojang couldn't figure out how to balance the numbers otherwise. Elytra negate every other transport option's viability, and cannot be obtained until a typical player no longer needs it. The End is still boring to explore, and after you go to one end city you never need to touch the dimension again. Shields trivialize the game, unfit for an update which supposedly made fighting "require skill", hence why every almost every mob released afterwards has an easy way of bypassing it entirely. Do I need to go on?
@@SuperDuperSeb As someone who quit MC after the 1.9 update, I can confirm... Minecraft was not dying. Like, as a player there were zero signs to show that it was dying. If it was statistically, that must simply be because 1.8.* lasted for way too long. I say I quit at 1.9 but the truth is, I kept playing (a lot more casually) until about 1.11/1.12. Except... I would only join servers that were using 1.8.* (or 1.7.*) - and there were a lot of them. That's the thing, people loved 1.7.* and 1.8.* so much, that they made plugins to force the game back to the good version even if you used a newer version. Or they'd just not allow anyone who weren't using the good version.
As someone who doesn't mind the new combat too much, I think the biggest problem it has is that the damage doesn't scale with the cooldown. Even if you let the cooldown go to 99%, it still reduces the damage the same way that spam attacking does
1.14 is probably by favorite update. The new textures, updating of villages which were a strongly outdated feature, and raids/illagers which are overall a blast of a lategame experience, especially in contrast to how boring the end is, are what really make this update stand out, and I view it as revolutionary. This is probably followed by 1.16, there's some features I dislike, such as (hot take) piglins, which I just view as a tool catering to speedrunners, the increased rarity of nether fortresses, and Mojang's refusal to update said structures, which are boring and outdated, but this is all outweighed by the addition of a new best resource, and the absolute revamping of the nether, which needed it *Badly*. Ruined nether portals also add a nice touch of lore to the world, and I'd rank 1.16 above 1.14 if not for my negative opinion on a couple of features/changes.
@z These are major flaws that are important to point out with the update. In this case, I see it as a fundamental game design flaw catching up with it. Even though the game added challenging lategame content in the form of raids, Minecraft was already becoming easier in some regard as each update came out that makes the game easier in some way and no content was added to mitigate said flaw. 1.14 happens to be what pushed Minecraft's already weak difficulty over the edge with some conceptually good but very questionably implemented features, such as re-zombifying villagers for free trades and the ability to make raid farms. However, I don't feel like 1.14 is to blame, Mojang has had many chances to fix the game's lack of difficulty at all points in the game but it has unfortunately proven a low priority, and 1.14 was the update that broke an already thin sheet of ice. 1.16 is guilty of this too with gold being dirt-common (allowing golden carrots and even golden apples to dominate as food sources), and piglin trades giving ender pearls/warped forest having a lot of endermen which removes the challenge in going outside at night and hunting endermen for pearls, arguably a source of difficulty. A few features from various points in the game's history that I consider to be making the game's difficulty too easy are the ability to place a bed anywhere at any time and skip night without shelter, the lack of encouragement to diversify food eaten (steak/porkchops and golden carrots every time) and the game's generally poor food balance, the low view distance and generally poor AI of most hostile mobs, the lack of unique difficulty-enhancing features in hardmode other than number increases and minor traits associated with the local difficulty attribute, the extremely fast regeneration rate added in 1.10, and shields (my personal take on shields is to add tiers. Know about that delay after putting up a shield where it won't block? First, add an animation for that to communicate it, and make each tier reduce said time while adding shield durability). Other than this, I think a generally souring relationship between Mojang (thanks to poor and greed-driven decision by higher-ups) and the community are endangering the ability for player feedback to be heard and added, which an entirely different problem.
The biggest problem was the sudden and drastic change of the combat system. I think Mojang learn its lesson and this is why the snapshots are available for the community as a parallel implementation.
Everybody talking about how the cooldowns were removed but nobody talks about how a pig killed in 1.8 would drop like 3 or 5 pork everytime just about while now you have to be happy to get just ONE pork, two if the RNG is right.
I don't think 1.13 was a bad update. Sure, the game optimisation was bad, but in my opinion it made up for it with the improvement to the ocean. Now it became the most beautiful biome in the game, and the mobs really helped with the inmersion.
the features were good but it came at the absolute utter destruction of the games optimisation, and its still barely fixed. its like 50% of what it was before 1.13
Yeahhh tbh I think the concept that 1.13 was hated is sliiightly revisionist? I remember everyone being hyped out of their minds calling it the best update in years when it was new
A few days ago I had a dream where I was in a dimly lit small room with a bible in it, all the bible contained was the update log for the 1.9 update 💀 Edit: I’m not Christian that makes it worse
As someone who played back when Steve flailed his arms around, I actually enjoy the new update. The combat is a lot more tactical and timing based, it feels like a real fight, instead of just clicking and shifting a whole bunch and hoping you click faster than the other guy. Also your carpel tunnel will thank you. Edit: Here, lemme put it like this for those who don't understand: In a fight, do you just swing your arms at each other, or do you wait for an opportunity to strike when your opponent is open? In a shootout, do you just spray and pray at each other in the open hoping a bullet hits, or do you find cover and fire when its safest and most effective to do so? In a race, do you just Bob and weave around all the other cars constantly overtaking each other, or do you wait for your opponent to slow down on a critical part of the track where speed is required? Ok, then in Minecraft, do you just keep clicking over and over with a sword, or do you use every item in your kit to make effective combos? If you answered 2nd to any of those questions, congrats you like the new combat system. You're probably just hopped up on nostalgia just like the rest of us, and in reality you probably actually suck at the new combat because you can't mentally comprehend the fact that you actually need to think for once. And for those of you who commented in this debate without providing any substance to the debate (You know who you are.) I dare you to try to come up with a substantial rebuttal.
@Golden Fry The new combat would be annoying on Bedrock since Pocket Edition is also considered Bedrock, and that type of combat would be annoying to use on a touchscreen, tho idk. As for the different combat options, read the reply above yours.
The game could be balanced only on the new system while keeping the old as it was. The changing version doesn't make sense since you would lose all three new features
it seems to be an issue that plauges western game devs: -base opinions around terminally online dysgenics who don't even play -force aforementioned changes onto everybody with zero testing -proceed to gaslight upset players when those changes are bad, go back to step 1.
The new combat update is really nice in a PvE/co op environment. If you’re simply goofing around w/ friends and fighting i also found it pretty fun bc everyone is equally bad. However pre 1.9 pvp has its charms that just aren’t there afterwards. The old combat system is way more fast paced. Games such as Skywars and Bedwars aren’t nearly as fun because knockback become so much less of a factor. In that sense I like playing pre 1.9 combat for the pacing in minigames.
I'd want to see the new combat update paired with a dungeon update, with existing structures overhauled to have new mobs, bosses, and loot chests complete with new items and weapons. This will put a major emphasis on the new combat mechanics, as it would prompt new and old players into learning the new mechanics, as well as experiment with their preferred play style.
I really don't hate the 1.9 update. I don't think that just spamming left click is that much of an interesting gameplay and it makes combat skill resume itself for the most part to be a fast clicker. If 1.9's combat isn't the best, I find it more entertaining than 1.8's. I love when I'm in a mine and I'm really close to die but manage to save myself from a bunch of mobs all at once, it's so satisfying.
@@aimbotxd7992 1.8 combat just doesn't make sense for survival. For PvP? Yeah, but survival? It's too spammy and uninteresting. This is coming from someone who played a lot before pre-1.9
My issue with the update isn't so much the changes themselves as it is Mojangs attitude, no one really asked for those changes and they were forced on us anyway without feedback or thought for the player base, it reeks of a lack of care or consideration, despite the enormous backlash Mojang just decided to ignore the community and I still resent them for it to this day.
they didn't ignore the community lmao it's their game and they know what they're doing. They made a change for the better of both the community and the game, that's how game updates are supposed to be. There will always be some polarizing, look at the corpses updates on darkest dungeon, would you revert back a change that is undoubtedly unequivocally good to please some crybabies? Creating a precedent where crying -> changing the game, instead of actually making changes for the better of both? Think about it
What good is reviving a game qhen it made so 90% of it's playerbase would barely be able to play from then onwards because the performance is so garbage?
Something interesting about this is that if you were talking about any other game that is still being updated to this day and said you were playing a version from 8 years ago, people would literally think you are insane. Also, I do find it weird that ppl find the combat system to be the make or break of minecraft for them. Even if you dislike new combat, is it really worth it to lose out on all the amazing features and bug fixes we've got since? Like, combat is actually quite a small part of minecraft as a game. I feel like I'm just missing something because I've never been able to just have a solid conversation with the ppl who believe this about the combat update, as soon as I say I like new combat they just refuse to listen or have a repore with me.
Most ppl don’t find it the game breaker since just like you said combat is a small part of the game so I’m pretty sure they agree with you on this topic. I suppose you lose them when you talk about combat system being good
Usually, people stick only to one part of the game they enjoy the most, because that is the nature of minecraft. You might say it's ignorant to only focus on a few parts of the game, but in reality, the game is trying to accommodate a lot of people; builders, tech, survival, speedrunners, etc. If one person likes one aspect of minecraft more, they would only have their eyes on that specifically. Both the pvp combat systems have their quirks, 1.9 has made the axe have more purpose, but made combat too slow, and 1.8 has its simplicity, but hard to get into as the skill ceiling is high. (CPS is not the only main factor of 1.8 after all)
"Something interesting about this is that if you were talking about any other game that is still being updated to this day and said you were playing a version from 8 years ago, people would literally think you are insane." Tell that to Age of empires players.
as someone who was on the Middle-to-high end of the PvP in the old combat, yeah it sucked and i played more on the old system but when i started playing with some friends in 1.13 (i think) i was then loving some of the features of the new combat, the Swinging of the Sword is probably one underated thing because it can make Farming easier, and i can assure you, a hit of the axe feels so good, moreover when you crit
Ive used both a lot and the old combat is so much better the new one decreases the skill gap so much and makes it so slow and boring. Theres a reason most server still have the old combat
I'll add this 'cause i hate edit comments that are "old" I recognise that the 1.9 combat can feel slow but my counter-argument to that is: Yeah, What about it? it can be more strategic, they didn't remove the knockback when you rush to an opponent, they didn't change Lava or Water in any way, to me, it can be sometimes more skillfull to block than spamming left and right click like a maniac, and they probably made cheaters life a lot worse because they couldn't just install an clickspam And no, im not biased towards the new combat, both of them have their pros and cons, i just want to point out that people defending the old one don't recognise the flaws that the combat had, both in pve and pvp, and i repeat myself, i prefer using more strategic ways to beat an oponent,
i'm one of the few people who hates the old combat, i really dislike spamming and chasing a mob (because of knockback) instead of finishing them off in 2 hits, it also feels very satisfying when i get a good critic
Old combat: smack simulator New combat: Snack Simulator (In modern Minecraft, your healing rate from saturation when eating high quality food can outpace how much DPS players can do in some situations)
The majority of the people who disliked the new combat were the competitive players who played pvp. 1.9 was solely centered towards improving pve, with no regards for one of the largest communities within minecraft, that being the old pvp community. Sure, 1.9+ does have a pvp community nowadays, but the fact that the largest minecraft servers still refuse to upgrade to newer versions says something. Also, mojang's refusal to listen to any proposals to compromise and make both parties happy only added fuel to the flame. Mentioning 1.8.9 pvp on their forums or reddit instantly gets your post removed.
I really hope the new combat system could be made into an experiment datpack, similar to how you can enable bundles in the most recent version. That way we can test it out without being stuck in the nether update
Personally I think that Jeb and Mojang wanted to get cracking at combat right away after the Nether update, which is why they started introducing things like netherite, which inherently add more to combat, but the community kept begging them for a cave update so they decided to focus on that, and they really wanted to execute that well, which resulted in their vision for that being way larger than they could really execute on, especially with the pandemic, so they've been working on finishing the loose ends of that before moving onto combat with 1.17-1.20, with promised features like Archaeology STILL on their way. Hopefully 1.21 will see the return of the fabled combat snapshot. Honestly I'm all for the ideas Jeb is after, imo anything is better than what is in the game now, and the old version SUCKED, the only people who actually enjoy it now are nostalgic players who hold minecraft like it's a religion. Try getting anyone new to Minecraft to play on the older system and see if they like it more.
There's me who started playing at 1.12 and never did any pvp in minecraft, and I like the old system much more after trying it. So much that I downloaded a mod to have it in my newer world. It just feels better and more like i'm actually fighting instead of waiting for my turn to attack. And I've seen v-tubers and youtubers just spam click multiple times (which is a lot considering i don't watch them often), which makes me feel that it's not just me either and that the old combat system is not less intuitive in pve for the general player.
To very honest, the old combat system wasn't even a system. It was just who clicks faster wins. Swords didn't feel like swords at all. I was overly excited about the new swing animation, hitting through multiple enemies, and the weapons you wield finally have something you could call weight. I was actually one of the few people who thought that Minecraft definitely needed this kind of overhaul to its combat, and I was very happy about it. I didn't even know about the aquatic update being controversial. In my opinion, it was one of the best updates in Minecraft's glorious history. Finally, the sea could be explored, finally it looked more interesting, finally you could swim other than just awkwardly jump through the surface while being as slow as a snail. "Swimming" was a pain in the older versions. Now it's even faster than walking. Raiding monuments is also so much more fun with that change.
It’s not controversial because of the actual content, it’s controversial because it raised the hardware requirements for the game. You can see why that would bug people.
@@SuperDuperSeb Lol what? lmao Literally *every* game with a decent combat system has this. One of the best action rpgs of all time, Dark Souls is *based* off of that.
@@SuperDuperSeb If you wanted a realistic combat system you would need to copy the way Exanima physic based combat is, your still have recovery time with attacks depending of weight of weapon and shape. Way to complex for a game like minecraft. Even Dark Souls is simplistic compared to Exanima. Mount and Blade Warband had another great combat system based on movement and direction to hit harder. Souls games combat system is overrated, Mount and blade is better.
1.9 is my favorite update, there was literally no endgame before 1.9, except maybe beacons and I really liked the combat changes, it added a lot of depth to PvE
Same here, I like PvE with buffed mobs. It would be really cool if there was a mod to buff skeletons even further, just for the memes. I can imagine wall running and wall jumping skeletons that can snipe you from 30+ blocks away, firing deadly accurate arrows 2-4 times per second in bursts. That would make PvE something to behold :)
@@Goremize Honestly when I did play minecraft I didn't even care for the end and my main objective was just to compulsively build autofarms until boredom lol.
Am I the only one who likes the new mechanics? I hadn't played in a long time so when I picked it back up it was neat to see more complexity in attacks.
your upload schedule is slower than a baby turtle hit with slowness II, and it takes another eternity for me to see it (3 whole days!?!?) but when i finally watch it, *it makes my day!*
5:05 tipped arrows are a game changed in PvP. slow falling prevents crits, weakness reduces damage, slowness slows people down, jump boost makes crit chaining less effective, turtle master arrows are way better than slowness if you just want to keep your enemy away/break their armor and harming just shred your health bar no matter what armor you have 1.8: low skill floor, high skill ceiling. 1.9 low skill floor, skill ceiling in f***ing outer space combat snapshots are very unbalanced imo ignoring balance-breaking features isnt really possible in multiplayer. for example: you want to kill someone and the fight has been going on for a long time now... your armor starts breaking... but their doesnt because they have mending and xp bottles. if you dont get mending you lose. while you *could* bring extra armor sets mending with xp bottles is far superior as 1. you only need to enchant 1 set 2. you get more durability per slot meaning that a full inv of xp bottles will last longer than if you filled it with extra armor sets 15:25 wanna see how 1.9 PvP looks like with highly skilled players? just log onto mcpvp and play a round and youll see that timing attacks is not the main part of the new combat system
I love this comment, I used to shred on 1.8 because my old mouse had a macross but when I did PvP on 1.16 with tridents, yoprd arrows, splash portions shields axe and ender pearls it was the most fun I had while fighting
Judging by the comments it seems like hunger has more or less been forgiven and accepted but there was a strange sense of dwindling interest in the game back then I remember. A lot of people were split on the implementation and it truly felt like the first “rift” to me
I guess hunger has had more time to settle within the community, it is one of the very early new features after all, and those who hated hunger as a feature have either cooled down or quitted permanently.
The only thing I don't like about the new combat system is that even though you have a sweeping attack, which hits multiple mobs, it only hits when you are on your main target. If you are one pixel off, you deal NO damage, which makes no sense. It would be okay for me if it would deal less damage if you hit slightly off target.
The Minecraft versions I’ve experienced are 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.15, and 1.19. The game might have changed a lot with those big leaps but I’ve never found the newer version to be less enjoyable than the old version, something I can’t say about mobile game “updates”
I understand they didn't want to add sharks to the game (since we already have drowned and would made a lot of mods useless.) But they could have made Orcas in the cold biomes as well as some abissal fish that would spawn on really deep water.
I've played Minecraft inconsistently since 1.13 and I can say that the combat update is the one update I haven't at least somewhat adjusted to. I'm still getting used to the new build heights and still have a stroke every time I see I'm at y=-53, but we're getting there. I would really like to see a "Form and Function" update that could address some of these issues (elytra, mending, tipped arrows...). By nature, Minecraft can't have all useful items and mobs. It's just not possible, especially with the sheer number of blocks we have nowadays and I personally like that some parts of the game are "useless" until you find something you like to do with them. However, I'd really love to see an overhaul that makes game decisions more interesting. Some items are just better than others. I'd like to see that fixed in some ways, and an attempt to make more items and blocks have functional uses. There are just "correct" ways to do things that don't change from the early to the late game. But even those that develop over the course of the game, I'd really like more interesting decisions about what we should or should not do. On mending, for example. It's good overall IMO, but I think it could be rebalanced so it's more in line with anvils (...along with an anvil rework). Of course, plenty of blocks can exist to look pretty. That's fine. But there are just *so* many useless blocks, items, and mobs. Spectral arrows? Useless. Potions? Most of them are useless other than getting that advancement (God I still miss "Achievement get"...). Again by nature, Minecraft will never have all "useful" things, and even "useful" things will be useless for certain kinds of players. But like, diorite...andesite...y'know where I'm going with this.
I'm impressed you explained sprint resetting aka wtapping. I can confirm I never updated my game past 1.7.10 because I only played pvp. At my peak I was 40th place in terms of elo on Lunar practice. Fun times.
The amount of people who think 1.7 was click to win is insane. Only two hits can register in a second and the tickrate makes it so that past 8 or so CPS it is no added benefit. It is unbelievable how many bad players think positioning, movement, aim, secondary usage, blocking, timing, walling, etc etc etc just didn't exist because some guy strafed them into oblivion and they blamed click speed when more than likely both of them were clicking the same speed. Tryhards overdo it to show off, not because it necessarily helps any significant amount.
@@verde7595yeah I know right. In 1.8 you can't even hit a player so many times at once. In 1.5.2 and below the higher the Regen someone has the most hits they can take per second, so having Regen IV (from notch apple) was actually a weakness sometimes. Clicking faster doesn't mean you dealt more damage but people insist on that cause I guess it's just funny for them to say that
I am playing 1.9 pvp since 3 months and i really like it. I think some people hate 1.9+ never really played it. But this is just my opinion, so think what you want,
@@amalgama-dette1430 I kinda hate it, because most new people play the newer versions and never have the chance to test 1.8 so they get good at 1.9 and when they hear of 1.8 they've most likely already gotten good at it so they don't feel like trying to get good at another combat system so they stay there. I myself have tried 1.9 plenty of times and I got good pretty fast due to already having great movement from 1.8. Though it gets really boring after a while since there isn't many multiplayer servers for 1.9.
the sword is way better than the axe by a mile, axes are only better for the first 20 mins of the game, and fully enchanted netherite sword+strength2 is x2 or x3 higher dps than same scenario for axe, if you really think axes deals more damage than swords you really dont know anything about the game wich i think is the problem with most of the people that doesnt like the new combat system, all they think is that swords are useless and now the only option is axe+shield when shield is not even worth using and swords are much better than axes

@@BLET_55artem55 Gee it's almost like it's a sandbox game that encourages different playstyles and that's why it was so successful with all kinds of people

Magma blocks in 1.10 had another function, which was really cool, until it was removed in 1.14 do to optimisations - it saved light level. Currently, it it still a light emitter, but back then, you could hold a torch next to it, and it would keep light level 14. They were also pretty bugged, so it was possible to make Y-buds and spectator mode detectors, the first of which was the most useful wireless redstone method at that time.
F E M B O Y Anyway, on a more serious note, I come from the 1.4 update, and I personally experienced the change of the combat. But, in all honesty, I always quite enjoyed it. The fact that they added new ways to fight instead of just adding new weapons, was far more creative and interesting to me. However, I do believe that the update wasn't perfect, as things like shovels, hoes and pickaxes still can't be properly used as weapons. I mean, it makes sense that they take double the durability when used as weapons, but why can't I use Sharpness on them? Why there's still no unique enchantment to them for making useful in combat like the axe? The idea was far better than just spamming mouse 1, but it needed to be completed rather than left half done.
To be honest, I LOVED 1.9 because it was such a long wait for it, so it was really good to finally get an update from 1.8. About the new combat, I also really like it cuz it is actually fun. Whenever i go and play on a 1.8 PvP server, I just get stunlocked because of someone with a higher CPS, which is not fun or rewarding to get good at. I really like the idea of attack cooldowns because it allows for weapon types to feel different (say, fast attack and low damage or slow attack and high damage). And i would love for them to add attack reach to the game, because that would expand on unique weapon types even further (maybe spears and daggers could be added). The problem with the 1.9 combat is that shields and axes are too OP in my opinion (yes I still use a sword), but this is all fixed in the combat snapshots. I really wish Jeb would finish the combat snapshots - it could be the best thing that has happened to the game in ages.
5:41 actually that’s only kinda true, because in bedrock, the combat update still was real, just did it less of a cooldown. Now the cooldown is getting longer and longer.
I actually like the changes because now combat requires more skill instead of just fast-clicking. The only thing I hate about the 1.9 combat is crystal pvp. Edit: War in the replies
You've never actually played more than 10 hours of 1.8 if you think its just fast-clicking these comments are gonna make me explode into 10 pieces, since I've been playing 1.8 pvp for more than half my life
I really wish "Sweeping Edge" was in Bedrock. As a sword it should sweep, like you would do with a sword in real life, but alas, Bedrock won't experience this :(
:( seguramente con la adición de la segunda mano en bedrock habrá con ello la combate update, lo que tal vez también retrasó esa actualización de combate
I mean, the reworked combat system Jeb made is really good. My biggest problem with swords is the sweeping edge killing my wolves or hitting something i don't want it to. I use Axes cuz I don't like my companions dying or accidentally aggroing neutral mobs.
Sword's natural sweeping edge (without the enchantment) is literally just there to get you in trouble. It does no damage (yes it technically does like 0.5 or something) and just hits things you wanted to protect or not anger
I absolutely hate how it removed any chance of winning a fight in 1 vs x. Before even with s if you clicked fast enough you could win against multiple enemies. Now if there's 4 of them against you, you can't beat them all at once.
@@UltraCraftYT222 of course you can win pvp fights if your enemy is not very smart, however when they simply can attack 4x more often than you because of a game mechanic, you are severely outmatched, its not even arguable
@@samuelkulisek1276 I mean, that's good tho? Don't pick fights you can't win. It was stupid to be able to win severely outmatched fights just because you can click faster
If ima be honest i hate the old pvp, its just spam clicking and strafing and it doesnt take as much skill. New pvp and meta is sm more fun and way more skilled and if it wasnt added and popularized by dream the pvp community would be so boring as it would be the same thing and new pvp methods wouldnt be able to be added
"its just spam clicking and strafing" yeah 6 years ago, do you know how much 1.8 pvp has evolved in the past years? 1.9 is fun but man so many people who either haven't tried the old combat system or that have never played it is kinda crazy
@@aimbotxd7992Most people aren't keeping up with the meta of a nearly decade old version of the game. All but a vocal minority moved on to versions that didn't have a combat system with the same mechanical depth as Cookie Clicker.
@@aimbotxd7992 I really didn't. The meta was established 8 years ago and hasn't changed. Clicking Simulator sucked then, and it's even worse with hindsight.
Old school, but the redstone update (I think 1.5 java?) was my favourite update. The idea of all these electrical components blew my mind at the time, got me hooked to using it, and it's still my favourite thing to mess around with to this day. The way it all works is realistic but unique at the same time
No kidding, the Combat Snapshots is surprisingly good with new balancing and potion stacking! Like compare to 1.8 and post 1.9 combat the Combat Snapshot is really a good balance between the two highly recommend and hopefully Jeb will finish it
I think the newer food system's major flaw is health regen. I like that hunger puts me at constant risk of starving to death, I don't like that regen makes me an unkillable god. Luckily, turning off natural regen is "close enough" to what it was like playing in the golden era in regards to health.
The problem with the old food system is that it isn't friendly to many players, theres a lot of different types of people who play minecraft, and many don't constantly want to fear for their life from their lack of hearts.
@@PhonyLyzard I don't like constantly fearing death in real life, but I gotta deal with it. Because life, like Minecraft, is a survival game. If players do not like playing survival games, perhaps they shouldn't have chosen *Survival* Mode.
@@recycledwaste8737 I guess I can see what your talking about, but Minecraft isn't meant to be a super intense, scary experience, it's a sandbox where you express your creativity, and worrying about my hunger bar while I'm building, what is supposed to be a chilled relaxed experience, is not fun, plus survival mode isn't just about surviving, it's about resource management, exploring, and having an added satisfaction to everything you accomplish, because of the added work you put into it, I think that in making the game more survival focused in this way, it actively worsens other parts of the game.
even if i dontconsider it is a really boring version, the game seems easier as u get the health faster and the mobs are easilly killed with spam click. Boring gameplay
I definitely was one of those people that played 1.8 and prior exclusively. I remember not wanting to learn how this new combat system worked and feeling like the old one was fine. The only thing that changed my mind was when I met my significant other who had never played Minecraft and wanted to play it with me. That was when, after playing a bit in 1.7, we decided to play 1.15 and I found out while the combat takes some getting used to the new things I'd been missing out on were actually great. Now I play only the more recent versions and wonder if the only reason I didn't before is because I didn't give the combat system a fair chance.
@@phu2110 Classic post microsoft acquisition gen alpha kiddo. Enjoy your decreased optimization and 9 thousand different dyed blocks that nobody cares about baby boy
As someone that didn't play a lot of old Minecraft bc i was a child and didn't have the game, the new combat feels perfectly fine for me. Specially the addition that you can one hit animals with an axe if you run and do a jumping hit. That feels VERY good
Honestly as one person said they should've made it into a gamerule instead of "down right changing it and having no option to choose" And seriously if they're concerned with "Balancing" two combat system at once they should just focus on the new one and let the old one be as it is. But idk that's just me finding a solution to an age old question you could say.
@@onetwoplusyou due to the attack cooldown they added. Not saying it was perfect but 1.8 combat is something that I wish wasn’t tampered with as it made the game a lot less enjoyable to me
I still believe minecraft 1.7.10 to be one of the greatest versions of the game, before the "new" combat. before the base game felt modded to me, as well as one of the most bountiful mod selection of any games.
@@2Pzp its a few things, the andesites was one. the other that i remember was that 1.8 changed a lot of the games code, so that made it a lot harder to port mods to newer versions. thats why so many mods are stuck on 1.7.10 and 1.12 (1.13 did the same thing as 1.8 but worse)
I think the combat update works very well in survival worlds against monsters and such, and maybe some more professional PvP settings, but it doesn’t really work with fast-paced PvP settings like Skywars. We really need a dual system for servers and in-game that allows players or admins to switch the mechanic.
Okay heres the thing, java had more change than bedrock. The only thing that really changed on bedrock was more weapons so for bedrock it didn't really get as much hate as java players gave it. The only bad thing on bedrock was the sheild being added.
I honestly have mixed feelings for the 1.9 update and new combat. I both like and dislike it. I like it because it turned combat from a simple clicking contest to something a lot more complex, and it makes fighting mobs and players require some more strategy. I like using axes to fight in my few survival worlds, and shields are a major plus in my own personal opinion. Elytras are fun too despite their controversy, even if I almost never use them in normal gameplay. However, what I don’t like about the combat update is the result: it split the playerbase in a way never seen before. You rarely find someone who doesn’t care much about the update; folks tend to love it or despise it. Some servers, mostly minigame servers like Hypixel, actively refuse to update past 1.9, while most SMP-style servers try to update to newer versions of the game. I’ve seen people love the new combat and hate the new combat. What makes this worse is the fact that Bedrock Edition has largely stuck with 1.8 combat with some slight differences, while modern Java players are stuck with 1.9 combat. I guess the one thing I don’t like about update 1.9 is the controversy itself. Great video by the way! You’re a super underrated channel and I can’t wait to continue witnessing your growth :)

@@Blue_Doge Bro ngl seeing people manage cooldown, use shields to block, dance around for crits seems a lot more skillful than “sprint, reset sprint and spam at the enemy”
@@StarsShatteredBeyond that whole "sprint, reset, sprint and spam at the enemy" mentality is what separates the average 1.8 pvp'er from the good ones. and I'm not saying it takes more skill than 1.9, but I'm saying you're an idiot if you think it takes no skill
even now, people only hated 1.9 because of the combat changes they didnt bother to try it out, they didnt bother to give constructive criticism.... they just complained thats it nothing more, even if they say so, they dont have proof otherwise 1.9 decoupled the combat from click speed and ping (which are far easier to optimize if you had the best internet, computer, mouse, etc.) it basically meant that your gear and who hit first was what determined a fight, unless one person was of a significant skill level outside the other i know this because for a brief period of time, when duelling people, i was one of the best, even if i didnt compete hard enough to put myself on the leaderboard, i had it all, a good K/D, a high CPS, very low ping, etc. but when my ping was artificially increased, or my gear wasnt as good, i lost each time the other thing that started to affect me was the age of the mouse it started to get harder to switch items to combo, and clicks wouldnt register basically, it meant that the only way people could take me down was by outnumbering me or abusing better gear that i literally could not afford 1.9 wasnt the best, it wasnt the worst, it was just controversial the only people who really loved the combat update changes were, by no surprise, the 1.8 pvp sweats mending was kind of a mistake now, not only do i not have the time to even compete, i dont have the desire, and most of the people who were in my position, have the same issue, they only complain because they look at the old times through rose-tinted glasses the other thing about your explanation here: 11:18 is that regardless of how people updated the game, people would have complained, because of just how drastic the changes ended up appearing to be there are problems that came out due to the way that it was pushed out all at once, but for the most part, these are issues that could have been fixed later on, and people more or less wouldnt care as much, or would still complain, simply because they werent paying attention to the new update, given that they never even tried it or looked at it
You are simply wrong. 1.8 had way more skills to it than "spam clicking". W tapping, strafing, block placing, lowground/highground, fishing rods, snowballs (on servers), block hitting. These are not just "spam clicking", i have no idea where that phrase comes from but people keep copy pasting that everywhere likes its some sort of magical argument winner.
TBH I think I prefer the new combat a lot more than the old combat. I hate any game with mechanics that involve stunning the player or preventing them from doing anything, because they just feel like a time waste (*cough cough* Genshin) - I don't even like them in fighting games. It basically means that, during the combo, only the player who is performing the combo is having their skill expressed, rather than both players, and I find that really annoying. But honestly, even after the combat update, Minecraft's combat isn't the most fun thing ever. It's fine, but I'd love to see some kind of rework that adds new weapons with different abilities, and possibly rebalances the armor types as well - though I can see why other people would be opposed to such a change, and so I'm not necessarily saying Mojang SHOULD add that, I just think it would make gearing up and PVP a little bit more interesting. If there is one thing I'd like to give Minecraft combat, it is that you can attack in any direction - upwards, downwards, etc. which is an ability a surprisingly large number of games do not have (*cough cough* GENSHIN) and they absolutely should.
There is a reason why every big pvp-centric server never switched over, 1.9 pvp is simply no where near as fun or compatible. The simplicity and surprisingly much depth of 1.8 pvp meant that it was really easy to pick up for new player and it was also extremely rewarding for really good players that tried to get better and better at it. That's also the main reason why Bedrok Edition still uses 1.8 pvp since Bedrock edition is made for a diverse set of sometimes really clucky devices. The simplicity of 1.8 pvp means that it still works regardless of the device and skill level of the player. The removal of 1.8 pvp will always stand as the worst decision Mojang has ever done in the history of this game.

1.9 pvp is super
The sub titles were nice, neat and undistracting but I also liked the old ones
Femboy
I actually loved the combat change, watching friends coming from Bedrock taking months to get the hand of it is hilarious. I also find the Elytra as of today to be much too useful.
I think sword blocking should be brought back. Maybe blocking less than 50% of the damage, and only working when you don't have a shield in your hand. It's just too iconic. It was basically used as an emote
What if blocking with shields reduces damage, and instead with swords we get parrying, meaning that if we time an "sword-block" we can negate the damage taken (On a cooldown of course)
I just want the feature back the way it was. 50% seems like a good shield alternative anyway
nah not 50% damage block should be blocks the damage completely but you still take the knockback
This unfortunately wouldn't work, as any right click action in the main hand is prioritized over another action in the offhand. In other words if sword blocking was added, it would be impossible to use a shield while holding a sword.
@@witoldhodys4453 just make holding a shield remove the block ability of the sword

I remember recently going back to minecraft, only to be so lost after missing a good decade of updates.
"Why cant i turn this ocelot into a house cat?"
"Why does every villager look different?"
"Why does iron look like that when mined?"
And my first time running into a phantom was certainly an experience.
Horses were still brand new when I stopped playing, so coming back to such a different game was quite surprising
Just like me for real, lol.
I returned after several years (mostly consisting of me becoming increasingly obsessed with Monster Hunter, which I am taking a break from for now) and all those things were true for me, aside from the ocelot/housecat thing
Mining iron and getting raw iron instead of the ore was perplexing at first but then I later learned that Fortune works on iron/gold (and copper, but who cares about copper) and I immediately welcomed the change with open arms
The addition of the deep underground, deepslate and the massive caves in between helped to revitalise my love fir minecraft as well
Also swimming… swimming is amazing, especially with Depth Strider!
The villager situation was strange too, but when I thought about it; it made more sense, i.e. the ability to clear and then reassign a villager to a new trade assuming you’ve never traded with them yet, it removes the need to cull unwanted villagers and thus is more ethical!
The new tree types, especially the Mangrove trees, are awesome too! You can never have enough trees and the Mangrove tree is literally the Oak swamp tree but better in every possible way!

I think one of the reasons why the Minecraft community was so split in context of 1.9 is because not only was it a very controversial update (obviously), but also because after Microsoft bought Mojang (including Minecraft), Microsoft barely touched Minecraft for two years. Many believed that that was the end of Minecraft, and many moved on. Then, 1.9 got released, and the effects of the 2-year silent period definitely amplified the public feedback that Mojang received, for better or for worse. For the most part, the update was a really bad move after 2 years, and with the spread of the negative feedback, those that were considering purchasing the game were likely told not to get it because of 1.9, slowing down sales and deepening the grave that Minecraft was digging for itself. Though, that's just a theory I thought of--it may or may not have played a role in the deceleration of Minecraft's popularity.
Oh so that’s why they took forever to release 1.9 makes sense also let’s not forget minecraft was dying hard around this time lol

@@SuperDuperSeb It only started dying after 1.9 being poorly designed in every possible way (kinda impressive really) 1.10 and 1.11 adding nothing, and 1.12 I think added something probably (the new texture philosophy maybe? I'm not a fan of the smoother style).
Are we really going to sit here and say "1.8 bad unrealistic ree" and claim "1.9 high quality" just because they made attacks deal less damage if you click an arbitrary amount of time sooner? By all means, change 1.8 to remove spam clicking; You might remember even the people who would later revile 1.9 weren't against the idea. Give attacks animations and hitboxes, not shooting out a short range laser which hits the opponent before the sword animation even starts. They made a low-effort bad quality update that didn't even address why combat wasn't fun for those who didn't enjoy it. 1.9 brought Crystal PvP into being. The armor changes were bafflingly stupid. They wanted to nerf god armor, so instead of nerfing Protection (enough to matter) they decided to make anything unenchanted only marginally better than nothing. God armor itself still made you effectively immortal against the mobs of the time, so they added "toughness", making powerful attacks ignore armor because Mojang couldn't figure out how to balance the numbers otherwise. Elytra negate every other transport option's viability, and cannot be obtained until a typical player no longer needs it. The End is still boring to explore, and after you go to one end city you never need to touch the dimension again. Shields trivialize the game, unfit for an update which supposedly made fighting "require skill", hence why every almost every mob released afterwards has an easy way of bypassing it entirely.
Do I need to go on?
@@SuperDuperSeb As someone who quit MC after the 1.9 update, I can confirm... Minecraft was not dying.
Like, as a player there were zero signs to show that it was dying. If it was statistically, that must simply be because 1.8.* lasted for way too long.
I say I quit at 1.9 but the truth is, I kept playing (a lot more casually) until about 1.11/1.12. Except... I would only join servers that were using 1.8.* (or 1.7.*) - and there were a lot of them.
That's the thing, people loved 1.7.* and 1.8.* so much, that they made plugins to force the game back to the good version even if you used a newer version. Or they'd just not allow anyone who weren't using the good version.
“Welcome to 1.8”

@@YGAPlayz Oh... well tbf blackstone wasnt in the game in 1.8 either.
As someone who doesn't mind the new combat too much, I think the biggest problem it has is that the damage doesn't scale with the cooldown. Even if you let the cooldown go to 99%, it still reduces the damage the same way that spam attacking does
Wait wtf I didn't even know that

1.14 is probably by favorite update. The new textures, updating of villages which were a strongly outdated feature, and raids/illagers which are overall a blast of a lategame experience, especially in contrast to how boring the end is, are what really make this update stand out, and I view it as revolutionary. This is probably followed by 1.16, there's some features I dislike, such as (hot take) piglins, which I just view as a tool catering to speedrunners, the increased rarity of nether fortresses, and Mojang's refusal to update said structures, which are boring and outdated, but this is all outweighed by the addition of a new best resource, and the absolute revamping of the nether, which needed it *Badly*. Ruined nether portals also add a nice touch of lore to the world, and I'd rank 1.16 above 1.14 if not for my negative opinion on a couple of features/changes.
You and me both my dude, my favourites are 1.14 and 1.16 as well. Especially 1.16, suddenly not finding a nether fortress isn't so bad anymore
@@XayXayYT 1.17 is my favorite
@z I like the textures more but the crossbow raids and a few other things I like better
@@XayXayYT femboy
@z These are major flaws that are important to point out with the update. In this case, I see it as a fundamental game design flaw catching up with it. Even though the game added challenging lategame content in the form of raids, Minecraft was already becoming easier in some regard as each update came out that makes the game easier in some way and no content was added to mitigate said flaw. 1.14 happens to be what pushed Minecraft's already weak difficulty over the edge with some conceptually good but very questionably implemented features, such as re-zombifying villagers for free trades and the ability to make raid farms. However, I don't feel like 1.14 is to blame, Mojang has had many chances to fix the game's lack of difficulty at all points in the game but it has unfortunately proven a low priority, and 1.14 was the update that broke an already thin sheet of ice. 1.16 is guilty of this too with gold being dirt-common (allowing golden carrots and even golden apples to dominate as food sources), and piglin trades giving ender pearls/warped forest having a lot of endermen which removes the challenge in going outside at night and hunting endermen for pearls, arguably a source of difficulty. A few features from various points in the game's history that I consider to be making the game's difficulty too easy are the ability to place a bed anywhere at any time and skip night without shelter, the lack of encouragement to diversify food eaten (steak/porkchops and golden carrots every time) and the game's generally poor food balance, the low view distance and generally poor AI of most hostile mobs, the lack of unique difficulty-enhancing features in hardmode other than number increases and minor traits associated with the local difficulty attribute, the extremely fast regeneration rate added in 1.10, and shields (my personal take on shields is to add tiers. Know about that delay after putting up a shield where it won't block? First, add an animation for that to communicate it, and make each tier reduce said time while adding shield durability). Other than this, I think a generally souring relationship between Mojang (thanks to poor and greed-driven decision by higher-ups) and the community are endangering the ability for player feedback to be heard and added, which an entirely different problem.
The biggest problem was the sudden and drastic change of the combat system. I think Mojang learn its lesson and this is why the snapshots are available for the community as a parallel implementation.
if Mojang had learnt its lesson they wouldn't have added chat bans to control "hate speech" around the world
@@OOO-mn1ds it's Microsoft problem
@@OOO-mn1ds But that's different. That's a policy change, not a game change.
??? snapshots have been a thing since 2011 at least when i started playing
Uh. Snapshots were always a thing.
Everybody talking about how the cooldowns were removed but nobody talks about how a pig killed in 1.8 would drop like 3 or 5 pork everytime just about while now you have to be happy to get just ONE pork, two if the RNG is right.
I don't think 1.13 was a bad update. Sure, the game optimisation was bad, but in my opinion it made up for it with the improvement to the ocean. Now it became the most beautiful biome in the game, and the mobs really helped with the inmersion.
Especially the fact that ocean was completely empty aside from squid and monuments and of course guardians way before the update
Don't forget the fact that it added proper swimming!
the features were good but it came at the absolute utter destruction of the games optimisation, and its still barely fixed. its like 50% of what it was before 1.13
One biome is better but you end up with the whole game being worse? Nah mate that is in no way worth it.
Yeahhh tbh I think the concept that 1.13 was hated is sliiightly revisionist? I remember everyone being hyped out of their minds calling it the best update in years when it was new
A few days ago I had a dream where I was in a dimly lit small room with a bible in it, all the bible contained was the update log for the 1.9 update 💀
Edit: I’m not Christian that makes it worse
Jeb 6:9 Thou shalt not attack without cooldowns
When even God has a strong opinion on 1.9
I love this
would the bible shine like a enchanted book?
That (should) means you know what the update log for 1.9 is. Subconsciously. Are you ok? Is it consciously too?
As someone who played back when Steve flailed his arms around, I actually enjoy the new update. The combat is a lot more tactical and timing based, it feels like a real fight, instead of just clicking and shifting a whole bunch and hoping you click faster than the other guy. Also your carpel tunnel will thank you.
Edit: Here, lemme put it like this for those who don't understand:
In a fight, do you just swing your arms at each other, or do you wait for an opportunity to strike when your opponent is open?
In a shootout, do you just spray and pray at each other in the open hoping a bullet hits, or do you find cover and fire when its safest and most effective to do so?
In a race, do you just Bob and weave around all the other cars constantly overtaking each other, or do you wait for your opponent to slow down on a critical part of the track where speed is required?
Ok, then in Minecraft, do you just keep clicking over and over with a sword, or do you use every item in your kit to make effective combos?
If you answered 2nd to any of those questions, congrats you like the new combat system. You're probably just hopped up on nostalgia just like the rest of us, and in reality you probably actually suck at the new combat because you can't mentally comprehend the fact that you actually need to think for once.
And for those of you who commented in this debate without providing any substance to the debate (You know who you are.) I dare you to try to come up with a substantial rebuttal.

The clasic combat toggle seems to be a good idea.
In my "very important and definitely needed" opinion i like it.
Uhm, what? You know you can just change versions righttt???

The game could be balanced only on the new system while keeping the old as it was. The changing version doesn't make sense since you would lose all three new features
Remember back when you could block with a sword?
the problem is that Mojang asked the Minecraft building subreddit for thoughts on 1.9 pvp instead of the actual pvp community

-base opinions around terminally online dysgenics who don't even play
-force aforementioned changes onto everybody with zero testing

I hate spam clicking especially in survival
I feel like 1.9 pvp is better for survival but 1.8 is better for pvp
I agree
@@theotherguy7704 well in terms of PvP, both versions of combat are good in their own way.
The new combat update is really nice in a PvE/co op environment. If you’re simply goofing around w/ friends and fighting i also found it pretty fun bc everyone is equally bad.
However pre 1.9 pvp has its charms that just aren’t there afterwards. The old combat system is way more fast paced. Games such as Skywars and Bedwars aren’t nearly as fun because knockback become so much less of a factor. In that sense I like playing pre 1.9 combat for the pacing in minigames.
In any game, PvP and PvE have *never* mixed well.
The only way to make it work, is to have two systems at once that toggle between them.
I'd want to see the new combat update paired with a dungeon update, with existing structures overhauled to have new mobs, bosses, and loot chests complete with new items and weapons. This will put a major emphasis on the new combat mechanics, as it would prompt new and old players into learning the new mechanics, as well as experiment with their preferred play style.
Cool ideas, but this doesn't sound like my cup of tea.
i hope 1.21 is gonna finally end the combat snapshots to go with the new trials chambers and awesome dungeons additions
8 years ago! Time flies
I really don't hate the 1.9 update. I don't think that just spamming left click is that much of an interesting gameplay and it makes combat skill resume itself for the most part to be a fast clicker. If 1.9's combat isn't the best, I find it more entertaining than 1.8's.

Something interesting about this is that if you were talking about any other game that is still being updated to this day and said you were playing a version from 8 years ago, people would literally think you are insane. Also, I do find it weird that ppl find the combat system to be the make or break of minecraft for them.

Most ppl don’t find it the game breaker since just like you said combat is a small part of the game so I’m pretty sure they agree with you on this topic. I suppose you lose them when you talk about combat system being good
Usually, people stick only to one part of the game they enjoy the most, because that is the nature of minecraft. You might say it's ignorant to only focus on a few parts of the game, but in reality, the game is trying to accommodate a lot of people; builders, tech, survival, speedrunners, etc. If one person likes one aspect of minecraft more, they would only have their eyes on that specifically. Both the pvp combat systems have their quirks, 1.9 has made the axe have more purpose, but made combat too slow, and 1.8 has its simplicity, but hard to get into as the skill ceiling is high. (CPS is not the only main factor of 1.8 after all)
"Something interesting about this is that if you were talking about any other game that is still being updated to this day and said you were playing a version from 8 years ago, people would literally think you are insane." Tell that to Age of empires players.
as someone who was on the Middle-to-high end of the PvP in the old combat, yeah it sucked and i played more on the old system but when i started playing with some friends in 1.13 (i think) i was then loving some of the features of the new combat, the Swinging of the Sword is probably one underated thing because it can make Farming easier, and i can assure you, a hit of the axe feels so good, moreover when you crit

@@aimbotxd7992 you just gotta get used to it

Ive used both a lot and the old combat is so much better the new one decreases the skill gap so much and makes it so slow and boring. Theres a reason most server still have the old combat
I'll add this 'cause i hate edit comments that are "old"
I recognise that the 1.9 combat can feel slow but my counter-argument to that is: Yeah, What about it? it can be more strategic, they didn't remove the knockback when you rush to an opponent, they didn't change Lava or Water in any way, to me, it can be sometimes more skillfull to block than spamming left and right click like a maniac, and they probably made cheaters life a lot worse because they couldn't just install an clickspam
And no, im not biased towards the new combat, both of them have their pros and cons, i just want to point out that people defending the old one don't recognise the flaws that the combat had, both in pve and pvp, and i repeat myself, i prefer using more strategic ways to beat an oponent,
i'm one of the few people who hates the old combat, i really dislike spamming and chasing a mob (because of knockback) instead of finishing them off in 2 hits, it also feels very satisfying when i get a good critic

The majority of the people who disliked the new combat were the competitive players who played pvp. 1.9 was solely centered towards improving pve, with no regards for one of the largest communities within minecraft, that being the old pvp community. Sure, 1.9+ does have a pvp community nowadays, but the fact that the largest minecraft servers still refuse to upgrade to newer versions says something. Also, mojang's refusal to listen to any proposals to compromise and make both parties happy only added fuel to the flame. Mentioning 1.8.9 pvp on their forums or reddit instantly gets your post removed.

Stripped log: Oh hello there
I noticed that the roof is made out of blackstone brick stairs...
Personally I think that Jeb and Mojang wanted to get cracking at combat right away after the Nether update, which is why they started introducing things like netherite, which inherently add more to combat, but the community kept begging them for a cave update so they decided to focus on that, and they really wanted to execute that well, which resulted in their vision for that being way larger than they could really execute on, especially with the pandemic, so they've been working on finishing the loose ends of that before moving onto combat with 1.17-1.20, with promised features like Archaeology STILL on their way. Hopefully 1.21 will see the return of the fabled combat snapshot. Honestly I'm all for the ideas Jeb is after, imo anything is better than what is in the game now, and the old version SUCKED, the only people who actually enjoy it now are nostalgic players who hold minecraft like it's a religion. Try getting anyone new to Minecraft to play on the older system and see if they like it more.
You're speaking the language of facts
There's me who started playing at 1.12 and never did any pvp in minecraft, and I like the old system much more after trying it. So much that I downloaded a mod to have it in my newer world. It just feels better and more like i'm actually fighting instead of waiting for my turn to attack. And I've seen v-tubers and youtubers just spam click multiple times (which is a lot considering i don't watch them often), which makes me feel that it's not just me either and that the old combat system is not less intuitive in pve for the general player.
15:25 Nice detail on adding Mario 64 hurt sfx!
To very honest, the old combat system wasn't even a system. It was just who clicks faster wins. Swords didn't feel like swords at all. I was overly excited about the new swing animation, hitting through multiple enemies, and the weapons you wield finally have something you could call weight. I was actually one of the few people who thought that Minecraft definitely needed this kind of overhaul to its combat, and I was very happy about it.
I didn't even know about the aquatic update being controversial. In my opinion, it was one of the best updates in Minecraft's glorious history. Finally, the sea could be explored, finally it looked more interesting, finally you could swim other than just awkwardly jump through the surface while being as slow as a snail. "Swimming" was a pain in the older versions. Now it's even faster than walking. Raiding monuments is also so much more fun with that change.
It’s not controversial because of the actual content, it’s controversial because it raised the hardware requirements for the game. You can see why that would bug people.

ignoring balance-breaking features isnt really possible in multiplayer. for example: you want to kill someone and the fight has been going on for a long time now... your armor starts breaking... but their doesnt because they have mending and xp bottles. if you dont get mending you lose. while you *could* bring extra armor sets mending with xp bottles is far superior as 1. you only need to enchant 1 set 2. you get more durability per slot meaning that a full inv of xp bottles will last longer than if you filled it with extra armor sets

Judging by the comments it seems like hunger has more or less been forgiven and accepted but there was a strange sense of dwindling interest in the game back then I remember. A lot of people were split on the implementation and it truly felt like the first “rift” to me
I guess hunger has had more time to settle within the community, it is one of the very early new features after all, and those who hated hunger as a feature have either cooled down or quitted permanently.
I hope there are a new combat update with the features that Jeb implemented in the Combat Snapshots for 1.21
The only thing I don't like about the new combat system is that even though you have a sweeping attack, which hits multiple mobs, it only hits when you are on your main target. If you are one pixel off, you deal NO damage, which makes no sense. It would be okay for me if it would deal less damage if you hit slightly off target.
The classic combat feature is actually a pretty good idea as a 1.8 player
The Minecraft versions I’ve experienced are 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.15, and 1.19. The game might have changed a lot with those big leaps but I’ve never found the newer version to be less enjoyable than the old version, something I can’t say about mobile game “updates”

Haven't had interesting terrain since before the Adventure Update. 1.18 is a blessing from the Minecraft gods.
I understand they didn't want to add sharks to the game (since we already have drowned and would made a lot of mods useless.) But they could have made Orcas in the cold biomes as well as some abissal fish that would spawn on really deep water.
I've played Minecraft inconsistently since 1.13 and I can say that the combat update is the one update I haven't at least somewhat adjusted to. I'm still getting used to the new build heights and still have a stroke every time I see I'm at y=-53, but we're getting there.
I would really like to see a "Form and Function" update that could address some of these issues (elytra, mending, tipped arrows...). By nature, Minecraft can't have all useful items and mobs. It's just not possible, especially with the sheer number of blocks we have nowadays and I personally like that some parts of the game are "useless" until you find something you like to do with them. However, I'd really love to see an overhaul that makes game decisions more interesting. Some items are just better than others. I'd like to see that fixed in some ways, and an attempt to make more items and blocks have functional uses. There are just "correct" ways to do things that don't change from the early to the late game. But even those that develop over the course of the game, I'd really like more interesting decisions about what we should or should not do.
On mending, for example. It's good overall IMO, but I think it could be rebalanced so it's more in line with anvils (...along with an anvil rework).
Of course, plenty of blocks can exist to look pretty. That's fine. But there are just *so* many useless blocks, items, and mobs. Spectral arrows? Useless. Potions? Most of them are useless other than getting that advancement (God I still miss "Achievement get"...).
Again by nature, Minecraft will never have all "useful" things, and even "useful" things will be useless for certain kinds of players. But like, diorite...andesite...y'know where I'm going with this.

I'm impressed you explained sprint resetting aka wtapping. I can confirm I never updated my game past 1.7.10 because I only played pvp. At my peak I was 40th place in terms of elo on Lunar practice. Fun times.
The amount of people who think 1.7 was click to win is insane. Only two hits can register in a second and the tickrate makes it so that past 8 or so CPS it is no added benefit.
It is unbelievable how many bad players think positioning, movement, aim, secondary usage, blocking, timing, walling, etc etc etc just didn't exist because some guy strafed them into oblivion and they blamed click speed when more than likely both of them were clicking the same speed. Tryhards overdo it to show off, not because it necessarily helps any significant amount.
@@verde7595yeah I know right. In 1.8 you can't even hit a player so many times at once. In 1.5.2 and below the higher the Regen someone has the most hits they can take per second, so having Regen IV (from notch apple) was actually a weakness sometimes. Clicking faster doesn't mean you dealt more damage but people insist on that cause I guess it's just funny for them to say that

the sword is way better than the axe by a mile, axes are only better for the first 20 mins of the game, and fully enchanted netherite sword+strength2 is x2 or x3 higher dps than same scenario for axe, if you really think axes deals more damage than swords you really dont know anything about the game wich i think is the problem with most of the people that doesnt like the new combat system, all they think is that swords are useless and now the only option is axe+shield when shield is not even worth using and swords are much better than axes
Keep in mind that after watching the diagrams 13:21 This also affects the music… RIP the introductions that felt like you stepped into a world of the heavens

Only thing i don't like about the 1.9 update is no more sword blocking
Magma blocks in 1.10 had another function, which was really cool, until it was removed in 1.14 do to optimisations - it saved light level.
Currently, it it still a light emitter, but back then, you could hold a torch next to it, and it would keep light level 14.
They were also pretty bugged, so it was possible to make Y-buds and spectator mode detectors, the first of which was the most useful wireless redstone method at that time.
yeah I loved that feature, it's so sad it got removed

Anyway, on a more serious note, I come from the 1.4 update, and I personally experienced the change of the combat.
But, in all honesty, I always quite enjoyed it. The fact that they added new ways to fight instead of just adding new weapons, was far more creative and interesting to me.
However, I do believe that the update wasn't perfect, as things like shovels, hoes and pickaxes still can't be properly used as weapons.
I mean, it makes sense that they take double the durability when used as weapons, but why can't I use Sharpness on them? Why there's still no unique enchantment to them for making useful in combat like the axe?
The idea was far better than just spamming mouse 1, but it needed to be completed rather than left half done.
To be honest, I LOVED 1.9 because it was such a long wait for it, so it was really good to finally get an update from 1.8.
About the new combat, I also really like it cuz it is actually fun. Whenever i go and play on a 1.8 PvP server, I just get stunlocked because of someone with a higher CPS, which is not fun or rewarding to get good at.
I really like the idea of attack cooldowns because it allows for weapon types to feel different (say, fast attack and low damage or slow attack and high damage). And i would love for them to add attack reach to the game, because that would expand on unique weapon types even further (maybe spears and daggers could be added).
The problem with the 1.9 combat is that shields and axes are too OP in my opinion (yes I still use a sword), but this is all fixed in the combat snapshots. I really wish Jeb would finish the combat snapshots - it could be the best thing that has happened to the game in ages.
5:41 actually that’s only kinda true, because in bedrock, the combat update still was real, just did it less of a cooldown. Now the cooldown is getting longer and longer.
I hope the combat test will someday be in official minecraft
I actually like the changes because now combat requires more skill instead of just fast-clicking. The only thing I hate about the 1.9 combat is crystal pvp.
Edit: War in the replies
I actually considered covering crystal PvP in this video, but I felt like it would be too biased because I really hate it lmao
@@XayXayYT Yeah there's not much to say about it, almost everyone hates it
@@stereodude016 Do you watch Dr Donut?
You've never actually played more than 10 hours of 1.8 if you think its just fast-clicking these comments are gonna make me explode into 10 pieces, since I've been playing 1.8 pvp for more than half my life
@@aimbotxd7992 1.9 still takes much more skill tho
I used to play this all day every day when I was younger and this update made me quit and never look back.
I really wish "Sweeping Edge" was in Bedrock. As a sword it should sweep, like you would do with a sword in real life, but alas, Bedrock won't experience this :(
:( seguramente con la adición de la segunda mano en bedrock habrá con ello la combate update, lo que tal vez también retrasó esa actualización de combate
I mean, the reworked combat system Jeb made is really good.
My biggest problem with swords is the sweeping edge killing my wolves or hitting something i don't want it to.
I use Axes cuz I don't like my companions dying or accidentally aggroing neutral mobs.
yea really sad when I accadentally kill my dogs, or when im protecting some villagers, so thats when I use axes
Sword's natural sweeping edge (without the enchantment) is literally just there to get you in trouble. It does no damage (yes it technically does like 0.5 or something) and just hits things you wanted to protect or not anger
I absolutely hate how it removed any chance of winning a fight in 1 vs x. Before even with s if you clicked fast enough you could win against multiple enemies. Now if there's 4 of them against you, you can't beat them all at once.
Techno would disagree if he saw this lol,
@@UltraCraftYT222 of course you can win pvp fights if your enemy is not very smart, however when they simply can attack 4x more often than you because of a game mechanic, you are severely outmatched, its not even arguable
agree with samuel, 1v2+ rn are impossible because of attack cool downs
@@samuelkulisek1276 I mean, that's good tho? Don't pick fights you can't win. It was stupid to be able to win severely outmatched fights just because you can click faster

If ima be honest i hate the old pvp, its just spam clicking and strafing and it doesnt take as much skill. New pvp and meta is sm more fun and way more skilled and if it wasnt added and popularized by dream the pvp community would be so boring as it would be the same thing and new pvp methods wouldnt be able to be added
"its just spam clicking and strafing" yeah 6 years ago, do you know how much 1.8 pvp has evolved in the past years? 1.9 is fun but man so many people who either haven't tried the old combat system or that have never played it is kinda crazy
@@aimbotxd7992Most people aren't keeping up with the meta of a nearly decade old version of the game.
All but a vocal minority moved on to versions that didn't have a combat system with the same mechanical depth as Cookie Clicker.
@@recycledwaste8737 you just proved my point lmfao
@@aimbotxd7992 I really didn't. The meta was established 8 years ago and hasn't changed.
Clicking Simulator sucked then, and it's even worse with hindsight.
@@recycledwaste8737 and you just proved another one of my points
Old school, but the redstone update (I think 1.5 java?) was my favourite update. The idea of all these electrical components blew my mind at the time, got me hooked to using it, and it's still my favourite thing to mess around with to this day. The way it all works is realistic but unique at the same time
No kidding, the Combat Snapshots is surprisingly good with new balancing and potion stacking!
Like compare to 1.8 and post 1.9 combat the Combat Snapshot is really a good balance between the two highly recommend and hopefully Jeb will finish it
I am still waiting for a defining Combat update that unifies Bedrock and Java
Hope after this bedrock will get offhand and other combat feature that java have(for sword i hope they didnt nerf it)
one of my favorite facts about 1.9 is that in the early snapshots for 1.9 you were always forced to wait until the attack cooldown was finished
I just miss the old food system. No hunger bs, eat to heal, food doesn't stack. Made it actually scary to be in every territory
I think the newer food system's major flaw is health regen. I like that hunger puts me at constant risk of starving to death, I don't like that regen makes me an unkillable god.
Luckily, turning off natural regen is "close enough" to what it was like playing in the golden era in regards to health.
The problem with the old food system is that it isn't friendly to many players, theres a lot of different types of people who play minecraft, and many don't constantly want to fear for their life from their lack of hearts.
@@PhonyLyzard I don't like constantly fearing death in real life, but I gotta deal with it. Because life, like Minecraft, is a survival game.
If players do not like playing survival games, perhaps they shouldn't have chosen *Survival* Mode.
@@recycledwaste8737 I guess I can see what your talking about, but Minecraft isn't meant to be a super intense, scary experience, it's a sandbox where you express your creativity, and worrying about my hunger bar while I'm building, what is supposed to be a chilled relaxed experience, is not fun, plus survival mode isn't just about surviving, it's about resource management, exploring, and having an added satisfaction to everything you accomplish, because of the added work you put into it, I think that in making the game more survival focused in this way, it actively worsens other parts of the game.
even if i dontconsider it is a really boring version, the game seems easier as u get the health faster and the mobs are easilly killed with spam click. Boring gameplay
I definitely was one of those people that played 1.8 and prior exclusively. I remember not wanting to learn how this new combat system worked and feeling like the old one was fine. The only thing that changed my mind was when I met my significant other who had never played Minecraft and wanted to play it with me. That was when, after playing a bit in 1.7, we decided to play 1.15 and I found out while the combat takes some getting used to the new things I'd been missing out on were actually great. Now I play only the more recent versions and wonder if the only reason I didn't before is because I didn't give the combat system a fair chance.

As someone that didn't play a lot of old Minecraft bc i was a child and didn't have the game, the new combat feels perfectly fine for me. Specially the addition that you can one hit animals with an axe if you run and do a jumping hit. That feels VERY good
Mojang is a studio with 600 devs .
Is he seriously the only one that can change the combat system?!
600 employees*
Honestly as one person said they should've made it into a gamerule instead of "down right changing it and having no option to choose"
And seriously if they're concerned with "Balancing" two combat system at once they should just focus on the new one and let the old one be as it is.
But idk that's just me finding a solution to an age old question you could say.
I actually like the new combat system...even after watching this video, I still don't understand why some people don't
Slows the game down too much
@@ciscodisco9155 in what way 🤔
@@onetwoplusyou due to the attack cooldown they added. Not saying it was perfect but 1.8 combat is something that I wish wasn’t tampered with as it made the game a lot less enjoyable to me

I still believe minecraft 1.7.10 to be one of the greatest versions of the game, before the "new" combat. before the base game felt modded to me, as well as one of the most bountiful mod selection of any games.
That and it was before granite, diorite, and andesite cluttered up your inventory while mining.
@@tankmchavocproductions6907 oh god I remember how much hate those got back then, people nowadays don't really remember how controversial 1.8 was 😬
Can you tell more about this controversy around 1.8? Is this only about those andesites etc, or something else?
@@2Pzp its a few things, the andesites was one. the other that i remember was that 1.8 changed a lot of the games code, so that made it a lot harder to port mods to newer versions. thats why so many mods are stuck on 1.7.10 and 1.12 (1.13 did the same thing as 1.8 but worse)
1.8 is when modern Minecraft became a thing.
I think the combat update works very well in survival worlds against monsters and such, and maybe some more professional PvP settings, but it doesn’t really work with fast-paced PvP settings like Skywars. We really need a dual system for servers and in-game that allows players or admins to switch the mechanic.
13:06 I agree
Femboy
Okay heres the thing, java had more change than bedrock. The only thing that really changed on bedrock was more weapons so for bedrock it didn't really get as much hate as java players gave it. The only bad thing on bedrock was the sheild being added.
I think the new combat made the skill ceiling higher
7:02 NOT THE DDLC MUSIC 😭😭😭
pretty good ost, no wonder why he used it multiple times.
It fits MC to be honest.
I honestly have mixed feelings for the 1.9 update and new combat. I both like and dislike it. I like it because it turned combat from a simple clicking contest to something a lot more complex, and it makes fighting mobs and players require some more strategy. I like using axes to fight in my few survival worlds, and shields are a major plus in my own personal opinion. Elytras are fun too despite their controversy, even if I almost never use them in normal gameplay.
However, what I don’t like about the combat update is the result: it split the playerbase in a way never seen before. You rarely find someone who doesn’t care much about the update; folks tend to love it or despise it. Some servers, mostly minigame servers like Hypixel, actively refuse to update past 1.9, while most SMP-style servers try to update to newer versions of the game. I’ve seen people love the new combat and hate the new combat. What makes this worse is the fact that Bedrock Edition has largely stuck with 1.8 combat with some slight differences, while modern Java players are stuck with 1.9 combat. I guess the one thing I don’t like about update 1.9 is the controversy itself.
Great video by the way! You’re a super underrated channel and I can’t wait to continue witnessing your growth :)

Personaly I think the new combat system is better because 1.8 combat relies on who clicks first whilst 1.12+ combat depends more on actual "skill"
1.8 also relies on skill its just bad at showing you how to get better
@@Blue_Doge mouses with autoclick imbedded aren't skillful
@@mKandrews. I know literally no one who uses autoclick to cheat, after a certain point you can't register the CPS
@@Blue_Doge Bro ngl seeing people manage cooldown, use shields to block, dance around for crits seems a lot more skillful than “sprint, reset sprint and spam at the enemy”
@@StarsShatteredBeyond that whole "sprint, reset, sprint and spam at the enemy" mentality is what separates the average 1.8 pvp'er from the good ones. and I'm not saying it takes more skill than 1.9, but I'm saying you're an idiot if you think it takes no skill
I fw your choice of music bro, you goated for the DDLC stuff.
even now, people only hated 1.9 because of the combat changes
they didnt bother to try it out, they didnt bother to give constructive criticism....
they just
complained
thats it
nothing more, even if they say so, they dont have proof otherwise
1.9 decoupled the combat from click speed and ping (which are far easier to optimize if you had the best internet, computer, mouse, etc.)
it basically meant that your gear and who hit first was what determined a fight, unless one person was of a significant skill level outside the other
i know this because for a brief period of time, when duelling people, i was one of the best, even if i didnt compete hard enough to put myself on the leaderboard, i had it all, a good K/D, a high CPS, very low ping, etc.
but when my ping was artificially increased, or my gear wasnt as good, i lost each time
the other thing that started to affect me was the age of the mouse
it started to get harder to switch items to combo, and clicks wouldnt register
basically, it meant that the only way people could take me down was by outnumbering me or abusing better gear that i literally could not afford
1.9 wasnt the best, it wasnt the worst, it was just controversial
the only people who really loved the combat update changes were, by no surprise, the 1.8 pvp sweats
mending was kind of a mistake
now, not only do i not have the time to even compete, i dont have the desire, and most of the people who were in my position, have the same issue, they only complain because they look at the old times through rose-tinted glasses
the other thing about your explanation here: 11:18 is that regardless of how people updated the game, people would have complained, because of just how drastic the changes ended up appearing to be
there are problems that came out due to the way that it was pushed out all at once, but for the most part, these are issues that could have been fixed later on, and people more or less wouldnt care as much,
or would still complain, simply because they werent paying attention to the new update, given that they never even tried it or looked at it
You are simply wrong. 1.8 had way more skills to it than "spam clicking". W tapping, strafing, block placing, lowground/highground, fishing rods, snowballs (on servers), block hitting. These are not just "spam clicking", i have no idea where that phrase comes from but people keep copy pasting that everywhere likes its some sort of magical argument winner.
TBH I think I prefer the new combat a lot more than the old combat. I hate any game with mechanics that involve stunning the player or preventing them from doing anything, because they just feel like a time waste (*cough cough* Genshin) - I don't even like them in fighting games. It basically means that, during the combo, only the player who is performing the combo is having their skill expressed, rather than both players, and I find that really annoying.
But honestly, even after the combat update, Minecraft's combat isn't the most fun thing ever. It's fine, but I'd love to see some kind of rework that adds new weapons with different abilities, and possibly rebalances the armor types as well - though I can see why other people would be opposed to such a change, and so I'm not necessarily saying Mojang SHOULD add that, I just think it would make gearing up and PVP a little bit more interesting. If there is one thing I'd like to give Minecraft combat, it is that you can attack in any direction - upwards, downwards, etc. which is an ability a surprisingly large number of games do not have (*cough cough* GENSHIN) and they absolutely should.
Funny thing is that the new combat system been in the game for longer than the old one at this point
There is a reason why every big pvp-centric server never switched over, 1.9 pvp is simply no where near as fun or compatible. The simplicity and surprisingly much depth of 1.8 pvp meant that it was really easy to pick up for new player and it was also extremely rewarding for really good players that tried to get better and better at it. That's also the main reason why Bedrok Edition still uses 1.8 pvp since Bedrock edition is made for a diverse set of sometimes really clucky devices. The simplicity of 1.8 pvp means that it still works regardless of the device and skill level of the player.
The removal of 1.8 pvp will always stand as the worst decision Mojang has ever done in the history of this game.
