Axes deal higher single-hit burst damage but suffer from a slower cooldown time. 2. Complete Interface Overhaul (Java UI)
Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (PE/Windows 10/Console) uses a C++ runtime with a JavaScript scripting interface via the Script Engine (based on ChakraCore historically; moving toward V8 in some previews). Java, despite being absent from Bedrock’s native stack, remains dominant in Minecraft: Java Edition modding (Forge, Fabric).

Introduces the combat indicator bar underneath the crosshair, preventing spam-clicking and requiring timed hits for maximum damage.
