New Minecraft update makes combat much more rewarding, and easier from now on

You don’t want to take on a Creeper with a sword if you can help it. You’re better off going into battle with a bow and arrow, creating distance between yourself and your target to ensure any residual damage doesn’t wreck the world you’ve spent countless hours trying to perfect. This is one of the earliest lessons you learn in Minecraft, and with Mojang’s latest snapshot, called 25w19a, it’s about to get much easier to pull off those vital ranged shots.
