I have been blessed with Minecraft bow skills, so I always get one asap, but as for melee I prefer to use an axe
Ah yes I love getting carpal tunnel from spam clicking. The combat update was the best update ever made by mojang. It made survival way more enjoyable
I prefer 1.8 combat but the combat update changes it up a bit I guess, I don't like how wooden axes do the same damage as diamond swords though and you can just use a stone axe start to finish of the entire game shields are complete protection which is kind of broken. I guess that's where axes come in. To answer wubby though for 1.9+, axes
1.8 combat is the best, especially for factions. Best thing is, with cool protocol hacks you can allow the latest update to connect, but it it will play exactly like 1.8. we need 1.8, not 1.17!!
None of them are good. the best way to implement this is have the server run 1.8 and use protocol hacks to allow newer clients. It’s what pretty much every factions server does.
