You know what we should all suggest to Mojang on reddit? To actually release a snapshot. I think that's one of the best Minecraft suggestions i've heard in a few months.
It was my understanding from DB's tweets that he wants to make the game lefty-friendly alongside dual-wielding, to achieve that both hands need to have the same features and be interchangeable in everyday gameplay. If that is indeed the goal then I'll be curious how the key-bind layout will be like, probably both an active hand toggle and a set of key-binds (4 in total) that let us bind actions and attacks individually. Maybe there could also be an attack or action toggle, so you could bind left hand action to LMB and right hand action to RMB and click the MMB to toggle between attack and action.
Personally I'd lean towards individual binds, just to maintain single-click controls, having to hold buttons or toggle all the time would get old really fast. Unfortunately my mouse isn't really very good for that, though with brute force my brain could probably make it second nature.
Of course all the controls will be customizable, you would be able to set the dominant hand to be left or right. But since dual weilding won't be effective for weapons, I'm assuming that the non-dominant hand won't be able to attack, and it will serve some other roll.
Don't forget: They are removing blocking with a sword!
...They're doing what now?

So I was working on this really cool resource pack a while ago, but bad progress nonwithstanding, I think I found something much better... I'm probably gonna never release another custom Minecraft map.Until we meet again...

But the good thing about this must be that if I have a shield everywhere I go and it doesn't slow me down, I'll never need to stop blocking!

Does anyone else agree that minecraft 1.9 actually could ruin pvp? seriously when do you think servers will update to 1.9 and the next thing you know they have shields??!
Yeah ik you right. But it just won't be the same anyway. Think about it Hunger games with SHIELDS. I mean i would never see it coming. But i know there can be good parts about shields at the same time. Anyway you said people ask for shields and now when they have them they complain. To be honest i never saw the shields part come. I don't mind it coming but like i said before i just don't see how it would go in play.

A server could keep people from using shields in their Hunger Games.
Also, updated the topic with a couple links I missed.

I don't know what the specifics or anything are, but it you could run around blocking and still be able to hit with your sword, it'd be unfair unless the other guy has a shield.
I think they should make it so you can still block with a sword, but only if you don't have a shield. To make things more customizable for people, blocking with a sword slows you down less but absorbs less damage; blocking with a shield slows you down more, but absorbs more damage. So you could have more defined combat styles and strategies instead of "charge in with guns blazing".

That's a problem with hunger games servers, not MC. The servers can do what they want, Minecraft doesn't own them.

Putting the CENDENT back in transcendent!
yes! i cant wait for this combat update!!
to bad the mod called "mine and blade" might be not continued to 1.9 cuz 1.9 has special arrows and shields
mine and blade still has some cool stuff. they will probaly have more arrows.
I have a question
If it's a "left-hand slot", does that mean they are adding a new key dedicated strictly to using your left hand?
Otherwise I'm not exactly sure how that would work.
Clicking the mouse probably isn't going to work with it, as that will control whatever is in your "right hand"
Also, does this mean we can use a sword, while holding blocks or something in out "right hand"?
Or be able to place tools/ blocks/ etc. in our "left hand"
Edit: I realize in the main/ only pic we have of it the person is holding fish in each hand... Yeah, that kind of answers that.
I need 1.9!
I need help!
Want new mobs in vanilla minecraft? Can't be bothered with mods? To long a wait for the next update?

An even even stronger witherboss?
Unnderwater dungeons becoming more dungeon like?
Wow looks fun!

I wonder when the snapshots are going to start rolling in.
Well if dual wielding and shields are added that means Battle Gear 2 is no longer going to need updated I guess.
