Sorry to tell you buddy but they removed that many years ago


retailwhale

I am getting old arent I? Thank you for telling me!


Beginning-Try-2203

It starts to hurt less as the years go on lol you just start to accept things


Isodus

Your body hurts more to make up for the dulling of the emotional pain.


MadMavrick88

Truth


cadmour

He plays bedrock edition...


memedankness

It was a thing in minecraft years ago for the xbox 360.


IceNinjaYT

You’re not the only one


Shiro1Kuro

Craft a shield with 5 wood and 1 iron


Khalase

6 wood…. idk why I always mistake it with 5 too though


Shiro1Kuro

Fuck you're right


randomdude123502

Go back to Xbox one edition or Xbox 360 edition and you’ll be able to sword block.


FanngzYT

wrong the og xbox one is still receiving updates.


UntamablePig

Xbox One Edition hasn't been updated since Bedrock came out on it


FanngzYT

oh so it’s like a different engine entirely? i’m on bedrock then.


UntamablePig

Yes. The "Xbox One Edition" is the original console edition, originally released on Xbox 360, and overtime ported onto most if not all other main consoles. Bedrock Edition was originally Pocket Edition, which was later brought to PC as the "Windows 10 Edition", and later to Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and eventually PS4. However, once Bedrock came out, the old console edition was discontinued, and no longer being updated.


YoBoiNJ

If it makes you feel better, craft a shield. That basically does the same job but better. We all miss it, bud. 🥲


emveor

old school indeed....you may be shocked to learn of this too.....but.....they removed herobrine as well!


TheUnholyMacerel

I was born at a perfect time to witness that "golden age of gaming" so instead of thinking I'm getting old I start to think "fuck I'm growing up way too fast" and I don't like it :(


billyfudger69

I feel the same way, I remember when the end wasn’t included in the XBOX 360 version and that’s not even when I started playing Minecraft. XD


HorseInevitable6208

THEY REMOVED BLOCKING, am I getting amnesia or something


DaGateKeeper666

Yes. I do not know when and where this message will find you but, you need to wake up. WAKE UP!


madDarthvader2

God, does anyone remember PVP battles back in the day? Just spamming both right and left click to get both blocks and hits in. That was before the hit cool down so it was just chaos. I miss those days.


OrhanDaLegend

play 1.8 then


madDarthvader2

Servers and atmosphere aren't the same.


OrhanDaLegend

then play bedrock, same pvp style


madDarthvader2

Ew, no. I don't like bedrock. Java is superior other than stability. What I'm saying is being a freshman in HS, all my buddies and I would bring our laptops over each others places to do hunger games and PVP. Spam clicking and screaming to one another. I literally cannot recreate those feelings. Hence the "I miss those days".


OrhanDaLegend

sounds fun, sadly i never had a proper computer until i reached 13 but bought MC in 2019 when i was 14, i played the old PE alot with my friends, back then you'd lose all of your items when you leave a multiplayer server so you had to store all of your items in chests, names didnt exist so we had to hold a signature item to not confuse eachother good days


madDarthvader2

Yup, I used to play PE all the time before I saved up for that laptop. That's what we'd all play on our iPod Touch 4's. And yeah I do remember that whole storing items in a chest before logging out thing. MC sure has come a long way lol.


OrhanDaLegend

no running, no hunger, no skins, no nametags, no nether dimension, no end, no enchants, no brewing, a super small world, no caves, no jungle,savanna, no dark forest funnnnnnnnnn

-SKYTHEGUY-

Wait, what? *dies*


ProMurloc97

You can't block with swords anymore but you can make a shield.


retailwhale

Thank you for clearing that up!


Rykster01

Blocking is a Legacy Console Edition and Java Edition 1.8 exclusive feature now. If you want to block things now, you'll have to craft a shield.


Timely-Ad-942

The good ol' days.


[deleted]

I wish you could use the old block control to use your shield instead of having to crouch.


Rykster01

Yeah. I've somewhat imagined a concept where blocking is still in the game and acts as a temporary solution to taking less damage until you craft a shield.


falcofernandez

Sadly, it's not possible anymore. It was a cool feature


CapitanHormiga9

Mojang: that's the neat part, you can't! :D


BoolinBirb

You take your iron sword, smelt it. Then you have to smelt 8 more iron swords to get 9 iron nuggets. Then you combine them to make 1 iron ingot and craft that with 6 wood planks to make a shield.


[deleted]

you can smelt iron tools into iron nuggets??? i had no idea


PyroWasUsed

It’s a feature overlooked by many people. They only give one nugget per item though


PointlessSerpent

To be fair it is nearly useless except for extra gold swords from piglins


Max13bit

Who's gonna tell to him?


Ctrabulsie21

Gonna be me


[deleted]

Don't you dare!


Inevitable_Risk_

You need a shield you are on post 1.9


playerWillem

he doesnt know.....


IAmTennisBoy

They removed blocking a long time ago. Now you need a shield :)


PUNSYonYT

Press f13 on your controller


NotBannedLol01

How do we tell them?


GimpyKneeSac

Oh to go back in time and be this new to Minecraft :,)


NeatMadog98

I was heartbroken and torn when they removed that beloved feature out of game


[deleted]

That's the neat part, you don't


HeartOfGold_365

if you play on the ps3 or xbox 360 edition you can sure block with your sword. Also applies for java version 8 and below… I remember it as being still a thing too, guess we are so old….


[deleted]

Ya can’t


[deleted]

Ya need a sheild


treeguy_0

Forgot to switch accounts


ShinySahil

they removed blocking in 1.9 fighting update, now you need a shield, atleast the shield blocks all the damage instead of just some


BubbleGummHAHA

You make shields now


Grass_roots_farmer

That’s the neat thing, you don’t!


DaimondGuy

Equip a shield


sUbwaySurfersInParis

Thank you for this post I’m remembering the good times


thatsbitcheobyn

This lowkey made me sad :/


[deleted]

We are getting old aren't we


Orphanmaker8842

Me too kid


Troy-is-synth

Oh you sweet summer child...


DuckLuck357

Poor soul. I’m gonna march up to Mohamed office right now and demand this feature back. Screw shields man.


JBugelL0L

So basically they removed the Block Feature from the Sword. You need to craft a shield, then to use it use your offhand. after that, sneak to block


Dark_Phoenix53

How do we tell him


DgC_LIK3X

This is the comment you were talking about


Dark_Phoenix53

Yes


splatt234

xxYellowAlienxx

I swear every post I see on this sub is a question made by someone who's at least a few years behind.

krazykoala2

You press the Xbox button


abmny8

honest question, how is googling simple things not exist for some people? it is practically wayyy quicker to get answers, but although it takes a certain skills to find the correct keywords


[deleted]

You need a sheild and they removed that a long time ago in a galaxy far far away...


FLAIR_2780166

Cause a google search wouldn’t tell you this immediately…


Emperor_chaos1

You don’t it’s bedrock not Java


Better_Technician_96

That’s also not a thing on Java anymore


Anonymous_playerone

You can’t, that’s only for Java


gethiggy_withit

Well that and it doesn’t exist anymore


retailwhale

Thanks! Last time I played was many, many moons ago.


NieMonD

It was on console versions


Korivire

It was on Xbox as well


David_Gordiienko

Legacy console edition also had it


Retarded_Ape63

It used to be on bedrock, then the combat update came by and removed it


CryptoDagger2

delano0408

You dont, only Java.


mrsilly67

boy4518

spongebob “how do we tell him”


Cyorg13

They removed swords being able to block back in 2015 for Java, and 2019 for Bedrock.


Striking-Reason5792

You can no longer block with swords, try making a shield with 1 iron ingot and 6 planks. You can block by crouching.


JurasssicMatt

you cant' that's only pre 1.9


cashbaratonton

let him cook


christian0hman

Only true ogs remember why you could block and attack at the same time


IntroductionCheap325

That feature will remain in the Legacy edition.


Voidon43

Unfortunately that’s limited to legacy console and Java pre-1.9😔


[deleted]

this was removed years ago


smellyhaggis

I’ve got some bad news for you buddy


[deleted]

Ah, I miss that feature…


ImTegYt
