We all know that Minecraft PVP looks like it is going down. I like where it is going, but if Mojang wants to keep a lot of players, they need to heed my advice. It is a truly fun game, but my friends think that, if the PVP stays what it is like in 1.9, they might quit. So here are my tweaks and suggestions.
SHIELDS Shield are wanted, but hard to make fair. But I have a solution. If you don't have a shield in your off-hand, you can still block with a sword. If you don't have a shield, then you just block with the shields. There are six types of shields, the shield, wooden shields, stone shields, iron shields, gold shields, and diamond shields. The sword blocks the same as it always had, but the shields block more damage. So, the wooden shield blocks 5% of damage taken by a weapon. (Sword, axe, hand, anything but fire and fall damage.) The stone shield does 10%, gold does 8%, iron does 20%, and the diamond does 35%. Those can be tweaked in anyway, as for anything in this post, but that basic stricter. If you go over 35%, it gets too OP. Here are the crafting recipes:
Those seem a bit easy to craft, but it will do for now. The regular shield is what Mojang already has in the snapshots, and they would be crafted the same way. But, they only block 10%. Also, you should be able to sprint while blocking, so you could run into battle with your shield ready. Whenever you hold up a shield, it has a bar that shows how long it will block for. After that bar runs out, you can still hold it up, it just doesn’t do anything.
COMBOS Combos make every game, and so far, there’s only one in Minecraft. It’s the block, block, hit combo. With the introduction of shields, I see amazing combos for it. For example, if you held up a shield and hit at the same time, it knocks the player or entity back just out of reach, and causes 2 damage. Thus, a shield bash. Jumping and blocking with your shield in the air deals 4 damage. This can be different for each shield, but for now this will do the trick. Comment if you can think of any other amazing combos!
ENCHANTMENTS Shields need to be enchantable. It just needs to be a thing. So, I thought of a few enchantments. Defense, Unbreaking (duh), handling, and weight. Defense, would increase the damage it blocks by 5%. (Defense II would do 8%, so on so on…) handling would make the bar that tells you how long you could defend for makes it go down slower, and regenerate faster, and weight would make combos deal more damage.
ANIMATIONS Better PVP animations would also become a great feature. All around it would be a good thing for Minecraft. The Minecraft player having knees, elbows, and an animated back would be great and would make PVP look amazing. Punches, jumps, and shield bashes would all benefit. The PVP is fun, but it looks a bit derpy.
So these are a lot of my ideas. They would enhance Minecraft, and make the entire gameplay much better. Please comment and share to get these ideas around! Thank you for reading.
We all know that Minecraft PVP looks like it is going down. I like where it is going, but if Mojang wants to keep a lot of players, they need to heed my advice. EGO ALERT. It is a truly fun game, but my friends think that, if the PVP stays what it is like in 1.9, they might quit. You and your friends don't represent the whole minecraft community. Go do a poll to see if people agree. So here are my tweaks and suggestions.

A player with a speed potion can dash past a crowd.
