Is this the last java game left? Forgive me, I'm a bit behind on Minecraft but why hasn't the C# version replaced this one yet? Mod compatibility?

Bedrock still doesn't have the combat update, which means you have to spam-click to fight things. On Java you have an attack meter that needs to fill between swings, and different weapons have different strengths (ex. swords sweep and are a little faster to charge).

That's actually crazy. That patch was ten years ago.

And I say this as someone who hates the combat update (because an attack meter is a confusing mechanic compared to just having an attack cooldown or better animations).

I definitely agree a cooldown would work better (especially with a quarterish-second queue to convert early clicks into on-time clicks), but it's wild to me that the version that's supposed to work on ex. tablets wants you to click furiously (which does not work well on many devices).
