Am I the only one NOT hoping for duel wielding? Yeah it would be cool but IMO it seems like it'd make the game complicated. I personally like the 1 weapon/tool at a time thing because it is simple. Duel wielding should just stay within mods.
There is also a high chance it's just a toggle for left-handed people, like said above, it's pretty weird controlling a right-handed character when you are left-handed.
I don't want duel wielding! It would ruin the game!
I'm asking you because I do not see it. He has only said "Seeing a left hand feels really, really weird."
Edit: found him replying to some weird kid saying this will ruin minecraft. Dinnerbones reply, "Minecraft won't be good if people could be left handed..?"
Neither of the tweets explicitly state they are adding a left/right-handed toggle, however as they are adding dual wielding judging by this: https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/602755916002373632, it shouldn't be difficult to add the toggle while they are in that part of the code. However as far as I am aware, the toggle is not expliciltly confirmed, just likely judging by responses.
I'm pretty sure that the other hand is for shields or something, I doubt there is gonna be dual wielding.
I also doubt they would bring dual wielding weapons in. Not only could it be a bit overpowered, but to compensate for it they'd have to give some rather significant buffs to the existing mobs, as well as making the new mobs very strong. However, I think there may be an option to toggle your left and right hands appearing in First Person view.

At least when the snapshot does come out it will be a biggy!
Watch as the only thing that gets added is the BARE MINIMUM stuff, everything we've seen in the screenshots and nothing more. Watch as it's something a modder could make in a couple days.

(It's "VMod" when used in a title or beginning of a sentence, and "vmod" otherwise. LEARN IT)
Maker of multiple vanilla mods, like these:
Link Removed - Overhauls survival with steeper difficulty curve
As I suggested in April about shields, (in signature) the combat "off-hand" will be a thing. If dual-wielding something other than a shield ever does come around, it will probably be from a mod, or- if PVP progress in such a way. If the only off-hand that ever emerges is a shield, that will be because that is all that is needed to enrich PVP.
Dinnerbone has confirmed that you cannot attack with your second hand, so dual wielding a weapon would be pointless, and also that they will be including a lefty option that can be seen from 3rd person!
This secondary arm will not display when it is not holding anything.
While you may not attack with your secondary hand, this might mean luring mobs and doing something else at the same time, like holding a sword or pickaxe, or maybe even luring two different types of mobs at once.

Well actually go to the wiki (make sure the page is 1.9), look at the top thing under additions and click the little 3.
Does it not mean anything?

Please don't PM me asking for help, I will just redirect you to the appropriate forum, where there are others who are far more skilled than me.
This is not the signature you are looking for.

Well this should be interesting.
My "Ratchet" remix. Clap Clap!
I can't wait 'till it comes out! Looks like a huge update!
Not 9 months huge though.

Figured it was time for a change.
Noooo! I don't want dual wielding!
I expect dual wielding will just be for the shield/weapon combo, you won't be able to have 2 swords.

not sure how duel-weilding would work. the two mouse buttons are lready used.
Oh. That sounds a lot less complicated now.
This has got me really excited now!
I am still wondering if this whole thing with the arrows, shield, possible new dungeon and new mobs is going to actually
target the core gamers and not just be appealing to passer-byes. I can't help but feel maybe this is the wrong road.
