I’ve never personally tried it and the videos on that that channel don’t show too much but it looks like bedrock pvp with less consistent KNOCKBACK I’m not gonna lie. Is it actually similar to 1.8 with like comboing and stuff?
I mean yea it's as similar as it can get to 1.8 for a simulated version on 1.9+, the only exception being able to blockhit. It's also why it looks like Bedrock, they share similar mechanics. But not sure what you mean when you say the knockback is less inconsistent than Bedrock, looks normal to me. Probably looks weird because of the players ping?
