Changes

Hardcore

• Upon death, the player now has the choice to respawn in spectator mode, rather than the world being deleted immediately.

Combat

• Bows can now be used when in the offhand, in the absence of a usable item in the main hand.
• Sword attack speed increased from 1.45 to 1.6.

Shields

• Now have a new crafting recipe, requiring 6 planks and an iron ingot (this removes the need for wool).
  • As a result, they now lack a base color by default: The new texture shows a wooden face.
    • Crafting a shield with a banner still yields a patterned shield.
• Arrows can now ricochet off a shield to hit other entities.
