Additions

General

Particles

• New sweepAttack particle.
  • Used for the new defensive "sweep" attack.

Changes

Items

Axes

• New offensive attack.
  • Hitting another player who is blocking with a shield has a chance to disable the player's shield for 5 seconds.
    • 25% base chance, plus 5 percentage points for each level of Efficiency on the axe, plus 75 percentage points if sprinting.
    • This is visible on the shield icon through a "rolling curtain" animation.

Chorus fruit & ender pearls

• Now have a cool-down every time they are used.
  • Have the same animation as the shields.
• Chorus fruits can no longer teleport the player on top of the the Nether roof.

Swords

• New defensive attack while crouching or standing and having a full damage bar.
  • Mobs near the one hit (bounding box expanded by 1 block horizontally and 0.25 vertically) and within 3 blocks of the attacker are knocked back without damage. Knockback is 80% of that done by Knockback I and is not affected by the Knockback enchantment.
    • Creates a sweep attack particle.

Gameplay

Combat

• Added the attack speed tooltip.
• When an attack is blocked by a shield, the attacker may be knocked back.
• Different attack speeds and damages for different tools.
  • Hoes are the fastest, but only slightly more powerful than before, axes are much more powerful, but are also the slowest.
