Title: Update List
Post by: mightyspeed97 on April 03, 2015, 12:16:47 pm
The main focus of this update is item wielding and bug fixes.

Item wielding is having an overhaul. Players will be able to choose between single hand wielding using either your left or right hand, and dual wielding - both hands.

Single wielding will work like Minecraft in most cases. There will only be one cursor on the hotbar.

Dual wielding will allow you to wield any item in either hand.

The main motivation for this update is to remove player confusion with the current hotbar system (2 cursors) and to remove the need to know which hand to use for which items.

A side product of this overhaul, a lot of inconsistencies with how items are used or how they behave are being rectified. And custom item swinging animation by item is now supported.
