Question
In Beta 1.8, right clicking with the sword equipped angles it in front of you, while decreasing your walking speed:
What exactly is this doing? Does it provide any benefit to combat?
Answer
According to the minecraft wiki article on swords, it blocks arrows and reduces damage done by attacks:
Swords will be able to block attacks by holding the right click in the Beta 1.8 update. This will block arrows as well as other projectiles, but will reduce the player to a speed slower than sneaking. Swords and all other player-dealt damage will be reduced by half a heart (like before Beta 1.5).
