So, in minecraft there are caves with monsters, what if you were in the cave and a creeper attacked you and you didn't pull you sword out in time, or maybe it was a zombie that woke you in you're sleep, and took you by surprise and killed you (personal experience)? Well, I Present you, the scabbard! (or sheath) It can be used to hold you're sword. When you make a scabbard you can put any sword in it, so when you need to use it, you press Q and you draw you're sword. And when you are done with it, press Q to put it back in. It also presents a new armor slot, and when you make a scabbard you put it in that armor slot. To select a sword to go in the scabbard you just pick p the sword from you're inventory and put it in the scabbard (that's already in the armor slot) and then you just press Q to pull it out/put it back in. And when you equip the scabbard it will show on the left hip of you're avatar, and when the sword it sheathed you will be able to the the hilt of the sword, and if you've drawn you're sword, the scabbard would be empty.
well, It IS the sword you're using. Like the sword you use all the time until it breaks, and its at you're disposal any time you need it to be. So it's used to hold the sword, and the armor slot it by the leg armor slot. It would be the weapon you use till it shatters, then you put another sword in the scabbard
Overly complicated. It adds new key bindings we have to assign, new things we have to wear, it gives players busy work (with no reward or benefit), and it's something that only applies to swords.
hmm, supposing the only suggestion i've seen added into the game are co-ordinates and maps, I guess this will never see vanilla. I wonder why Jeb hasn't stepped up and looked at the suggestions forum?
how is it overly complicated? It's just a scabbard you put you're sword in by pushing a button, and you can find cows any where, and it does not give busy work. Well, minecraft is about busy work, incase you haven't noticed.
Oh, and it does benefit them when a monster surprise attacks them and they have no time to reactIt also seems that nearly every other game that's set in the medieval ages or an age near that has scabbards, that also hold you're weapons.
How to craft the scabbard:
L:leather
E: empty spot

Maybe wear it as leg armor?
