Guys, Evolution 2 Electric Boogaloo is up for playing. Not right now though since Queeb has school.

Also try using dynamic lights for the "glow" effect.

How do I use Dynamic lights?

[Pastrey Crust]

Install the mod an add the swords to the light IDs.

how do i make the blades glow though (to where the blade on the lightsaber is lit up in the dark, like glow fx on blockland)

No I don't need it to be a light source, I need it to have a glowing blade

[RedGajin]

wouldnt you just use a really bright color then? kinda like the yellow in a glowstone brick?

[Planr]

they already have really bright colors. it does not help.

[Pastrey Crust]

Check Xyblocks textures. They glow in the dark.

btw I hate 1.9 imagine if there are like 2 creepers coming towards you and the cooldown makes them blow up because they blow up before you can hit again

Yeah man the cool down is hard to get used to. I think it's good they're adding more nuance to combat but the cool down really messes with me and I presume a lot of other older players. maybe it would have been better if they shortened the cool down and reworked the hitboxes so hitting certain body parts yield more damage. idk, though I am thankful the devs are putting in work after so many years.

swing time is a bit weird even after getting used to it
for creepers I normally just use my bow, since it's safer and does more damage (one shotting them)

although if you're stuck with a sword, I think the cleave applies the full knockback, so sprinting and hitting them should work
otherwise just do what you used to with your stone swords in previous versions, hit and walk back before hitting again

The cooldown is freaking awful if the server is lagging. Since the recharge confirmation is server-sided, you often have to wait 2-5 times the normal recharge time to get a full charge if the server is lagging. Which can easily kill you in combat against mobs. I absolutely hate it.
