5.A new, unknown block
6.Grass path blocks (15/16 block height)
7. Captions and subtitles for the hearing impaired
8.Added a left hand, with the option of playing with the left hand as the main hand instead of the right hand being the main hand.
9.Armor Stands being able to dually wield objects
10.Swords can no longer be used for blocking at all.

Leave your opinions on the update below, I'd love to hear them! :D

The PvP system has always been MC's worst feature for years. Put basically, it sucks. MC was never intended to be a combat-oriented game, and I've never played it as such.

With that in mind, improving the PvP mechanics seem to be a really really good thing. I'd do the PvP arena thing if it was anything more than just dash-jumping at your opponent and spamming the left mouse button.

Humble, I can see where you come from, and honestly I hate this update just because it screws up the normality of pvp on here. It's true that this was never originally meant to be a pvp based game, but it has over time morphed into one that has a very strong pvp area.

I don't like this update too much :/

I was hoping for something more exciting not more combat based.

That means more murdering.

I like this update, they are adding some necessary things. I've always wondered why there were no shields, it seemed almost vital. More arrows probably means the removal of the Flame enchantment for bows, or keeping that and adding new bow enchantments.

"We won't have another map reset for months" is hardly reassuring for major investment in building something that simply won't be moved over. "Hey, Luigi, could you please move over this area with three different spawners, significant redstone, tons of chests with goods all sorted and major "expensive" blocks?"

"Nah, just do it all over again. Good luck finding an area like that again. Sucks to be you, don't it?"

romaq must be the laziest guy ever. The good thing with map resets is that you get new ideas for different buildings. Oh and luigi restores only constructions that took some time and effort. No op items like diamond gold iron etc. Staying on one map gets boring.

"romaq must be the laziest guy ever."

Damn straight!

The problem with the area that I am working on is that ONLY by sheer luck, it has several spawners relatively close to the Guardian. I didn't plan it that way, I had no idea they were there, but the odds of finding a guarding AND having three unique spawners close to it are ... very damned slim, and not something I think I could repeat in the time it will take for Minecraft 2.0 to ship.

I don't think Luigi would be comfortable porting spawners. I plan to build silos, sorters, and farms. I'm not sure how much of that he would be comfortable moving either. And I'm quite very sure he won't want to move the value *held within* the massive silos. So... yeah, staying on one map does get boring, but that is not the same as saying there is no cost involved to those who invest in large scale engineering programs. :)
