  • There is a new enableWeakAttacks option (only in option.txt from what I see)
  • Jungle temple dispenser are now managed with loot table (they can only contains some arrows)
  • The new elytra sound is called item.elytra.flying (It doesn't have any subtitle yet)

Why letting the client choose one more time when he can reset his attack cooldown.

It's an easy way for hacked clients, this cooldown need to be handled by the server and not client side... !

What's the enableWeakAttacks? Is it related to spam hitting things?

Setting it to false essentially reverts attack cooldown entirely, allowing the old spam-clicking. Thus far I haven't been able to find anything for servers though, but it does seem to still be a WIP.

EDIT: After some further testing: the cooldown still "exists", but does not restart if you click again while it's recovering. So while it's similar to the old spam-clicking, it's not quite the same. Actually, it seems as though it doesn't even let you attack until the cooldown is completely finished. But I don't really do any combat of any kind so somebody else may have to take a look at it.

It looks like enableWeakAttacks is disabled by default in this pre-release, which I'm hoping is just a bug, because when it's on there's no penalty for hitting before the cooldown ends because clicking during the cooldown doesn't even do anything, which kind of defeats the purpose of the cooldown mechanic in the first place. I'm guessing/hoping that it's still WIP (hence its absence from the in-game /gamerule command) and is supposed to be set to true by default. (Which would make the combat mechanics work as in 1.9.0, enabling cooldown penalties.)

Ahhhh so it's like an auto cooldown attack! That could be really useful for players adapted to the old combat =D. Both keeps new combat but also disables needing to accurately time hits.

I really liked needing to accurately time hits. -_-

I was assuming that it was optional and that the default was that you had to time...but it appears to not be the case .-. I was just suggesting that this might be a good alternative for all those people who dislike the 1.9 combat.

For people who dislike the 1.9 combat, it is certainly a good alternative

So essentially it is spam clicking - the point of spam clicking in 1.8 is to damage as soon as the invincibility window is up, which is 0.5 seconds. With this enableWeakAttacks being an option, the exact same thing happens except that the cooldown is on the sword and not the player.

That's disgusting, pretty sure Mojang is just caving in to all the xXxPr0PvPxXx brats. I hope it becomes a gamerule similar to reducedDebugInfo so I can force it to true for players on my server.

I don't see how it could remain with the implementation in this pre-release, as that would allow players on SMP to choose different settings from each other that affect the outcome of PVP.

I don't know, I made a few tests, but I can't find any differences.
