This new integrated mode or version (idk what else to call it) would have a sperate option to play on the launcher but would still be java. It would have the latest features but would have to be balanced for the 1.8 style. Certain changes I would include but don't have to be would be:
1. Axes work the same exact way but deal less damage except when doing a critical hit and can block weapons but you take more damage than if you were to block with a sword.
2. swords and axes can be put in offhand which can make it possible to block with swords while holding an axe.
3. When you have another sword in your offhand and you block then you block with both swords blocking melee attacks for 100% 75% or 50% depending on luck. However a sword has the same chance to block an arrow still this means shields would still be used.
4. Netherite does not have knockback resistance or it is much lower.
5. Tridents should have a little more range it should not be a large difference than a sword or an axe but it should at least in my opinion.
6. sweep hits are still achievable and is essentially the same as the game however axes don't do sweep hits.
7. tridents do less damage when hitting an entity in the extended range. Or just nerfed in general i guess.
I really wish this update happened. I think it would be cool if we could do a slightly different but still fun version of 1.8 pvp without mods to make it happen with the latest features.
