The Combat Update

Sorry to break it to you, but you simply can't apply an NBT tag to "every item" without scanning the entire would for items (which would take ages) and modifying them all. You might be referring to items in loaded chunks or in player inventories, which is a different case.

 

There's literally only like 10 items in the game that need changing. I don't need to change the attack speed for my dirt block. I don't need to "scan the entire world." It's done with a plugin, or with a single command block.

 

It doesn't work like that. You can't just set attack speed for all swords. Its stored individually in every sword.

 

Then why can I do it? I'm not going to argue this with you when this feature is on almost every successful 1.10 server

 

What command did you use to do it?

 

I don't remember the string by heart, I made it a year ago. Nobody would use a command block anyway they would just use the plugin which is a lot easier

 

What I'm trying to point out is that although you can give an item with a specific attack speed, you can't set it on a global level for every type of that item without putting a bunch of listeners that lag up the entire server. The reasonable way to do this would be to change player attack speed. If you think I'm wrong, post a plugin or command that sets everyone's swords attack speeds.

 

OldPVP - Also 90% sure servers can turn off the timer normally too

 

Is it this one? 1.8 PvP for 1.9, 1.10 and 1.11. Because I just decompiled this (its ok in the plugins terms and conditions), and found out that it uses a CraftItemEvent to lower tool damage, which does not work with already existing tools. Also, it changes the attack speed on a per-player basis using a PlayerJoinEvent.

 

Seems to me like it's preaching to the choir, but I do feel that it's absolutely better for a server to run on the old PvP. 1.10 PvP is just too slow for most people's liking.
