In 1.8 you cant blockhit anymore (hit while defending with a sword)
Its really annoying because Minecraft PvP has always been very simple, we all wanted to have a more complex PvP, and you removed one of that few mechanics PvP had. You could chose between hit while running and jumping around your enemy, control hit (hit and run) or blockhit (you protect while you hit but you have less speed).
Now PvP is even more simple. Just run to your enemy and hit. The one with better ping and gear wins. No skill needed.
I dont know if this is a bug or intended, but anyways, please put it back 😞

Nothing changed with blocking and PVP... Were you on a modded server?
