⚔️ Skywars
- New weapons aim assist and parry!
Missing a hit with the new weapons was unforgiving, especially against classic spammy swords. Combat also felt a bit too stiff, so holding right click now puts you in a parry stance: if someone hits you from the front, they get stunned for a duration based on both the weapon you used to parry and the weapon they attacked with. Heavier weapons create longer stuns, but whiffing a parry leaves you recovering for longer, making them riskier; lighter weapons allow more frequent attempts, but their stuns are shorter.
- Added a Duels (1v1) arena to test the new weapons out quickly
- Increased falchion damage
- Feather falling potion now completely denies fall damage
- New weapons use the default Luanti crosshair and show their cooldown through a filling bar
- Food eating cooldown is now visible via a HUD bar
- Put steel swords back in chests
Since now the new weapons are in the Duels arena. The falchion has also been removed from normal arenas, while the club has been kept for now as it provides a significantly different experience.
- BUGFIX: items dropped during celebration could linger
Dropped items during celebration could remain in the arena and show up in later matches
- BUGFIX: you can now open chests while wielding new weapons
