The beloved Minecraft combat feature is returning in a refined form!

The feature returns with the same satisfying mechanic while avoiding the exploit potential that made it problematic in past versions.
Players can now experience handsniping again as part of the core Minecraft combat system, but with important changes to prevent abuse in PvP scenarios.
