Until now, fighting in Minecraft was as simple as the repeated press of a button, but Mojang has now spiced that up. The new Update 1.9 adds a “cool-down” period for sword strikes, meaning you can’t just whack at things — you’ll need a battle strategy now. You’ll have help — players will be able to wield shields from this point, which will let them dodge attacks whenever they can’t swing. Certain weapons will also have special attacks that can be used at crucial moments.
Mojang’s full list of additions within Update 1.9 is below.
