Countdown to Minecraft 1.9

Surprise! I didn't have swimming tonight I think because the heater broke because the last week the water has been super cold. So I decided to post! Today I will be showing you more things that are going to be in the update 1.9. Last post I told you all about the elytra, shields, the shulker, and boats.
Here is something that is going to be a big change in minecraft in the update 1.9

Dual Wielding:

Dual wielding means that you will be able to hold things in both of your minecraft hands. You can go into your settings and change which hand is your main hand and which one is your off hand.

Here are somethings you should know:
You can only attack with your main hand so it is pointless to hold weapons in both.
You can not use both hands at the same time.

Weapons that can be used in off hand:
Bows
Splash potions
Eggs
Snowballs

Tools that can be used in the off hand:
Bucket
Fishing rod
Flint and steel
Hoe
Lead
Shears
Shield
Shovel

Countdown to 1.9:
2 days (counting today and today is 2/23/16)

I hope you are all excited for 1.9 I know I am!!
Have a great day,
Caro ♥

P.S. I am thinking of doing a spring games thing. What do you think??? Comment below.
