/gamerule useLegacyCombat




that's how.

a gamerule to switch between hit recharging and no hit recharging would make sense.

I think there should be more diversity in the combat. Spam-clicking is boring. So is waiting for a cool-down. I think there should be a cooldown for a sweep attack, and maybe like three more special combat attacks could be added. Maybe one could be a short but wide attack. That's all I can think of.

I think they should add in different types of weapons eg katanas battle axes and different armor, if there gonna nerf it add more stuff to it so we don’t end up using sharpness V hoes and now spamming xD but I think if they do something that major with fighting they need to add more content to fighting too

Although everyone believes 1.15 to be another combat update, it is STILL yet to be confirmed what the update is going to be (probably waiting till the usual September Minecon announcement), so I do not think it would be advantageous to discus a yet to be confirmed theme for 1.15, even if it seems probable.

Personally I like the current 1.9+ combat system, but for pvp games and servers I do prefer 1.8.9.

I can't really imagine a way for them to bring those two mechanics together.
