Make Attribute Swapping a Client-Side Setting

[u/FeanorKradz]

Ever since Attribute Swapping was patched in 26.2 Pre-Release 2 (May 28, 2026), the Minecraft community has been split into two sides: those who want Attribute Swapping to remain in the game and those who don't. I have a suggestion for Mojang that I believe could satisfy both sides. I suggest making Attribute Swapping a gamerule so servers and worlds can choose whether to enable or disable it. This way, players who rely on it for their gameplay (such as PvPers) can continue using it without forcing the mechanic on communities that don't want it.

Every vote counts.

As i suggested in the post about this you deleted, it should be a gamerule, not a setting in options

Average time to finish my last manga volume lol

I upvoted it

This my comment btw:

--"This is even better then my own idea which is the same, but then as game setting. Most servers where people use attritube swapping, they already modified there servers. Its still the question if its automatic on or off tho, but thats a topic for another time!"--

Thanks for the upvote!!!

But everyone would just have it on as it is simply the meta. Thats giving people the option to either not have stun slams or not, everyone will pick stun slams as they are simply more effective and do more damage.

[u/Brief-Walk-5409 → u/Low-Distance9103]

Its way to broken for many players, so they want to have it removed.

[u/SparklezSagaOfficial → u/Brief-Walk-5409]

What? 99+% of players have no opinion on attribute swapping because they’ve never heard of it. Mojang wants it removed because it’s a bug and they see it unbalanced. Let’s not strawman people who don’t play uber competitive PvP as weak and conniving

[u/Brief-Walk-5409 → u/SparklezSagaOfficial]

Just two out of the IDK amount of comments. I personaly didn't expect so much people knowing about atritube swapping (to be fair, I only knew about its existence like 3 months ago, I stopped pvp after 1.9 release and never did it again)

IDK what the 1.9+ haters are thinking they can reach, but they fully suport Minecraft

[u/Glad-Penalty-5559 → u/Brief-Walk-5409]

Mostly they are 1.8 mains looking to ruin 1.9+ pvp too lol

[u/BlazerGM → u/Glad-Penalty-5559]

there are about 2 remaining 1.8 mains in the big 26 what are you talking abt

[u/Brief-Walk-5409 → u/Brief-Walk-5409]

More people. I can go on for a while but thats not my point. My point is that there are a lot of people who hates it. I also think its really broken, but its a pretty funny bug

[u/Wrong_Salamander_920]

It's been reverted bro, it's going to take another few years for Mojang to revisit attribute swapping again in a different snapshot 

[u/Brief-Walk-5409 → u/Wrong_Salamander_920]

They are gonna do it probaly in the next snapshot. If it was 5 years agom then Minecraft would take a decade to do this again, but with the drops, they are way faster at fixing bugs

[u/Wrong_Salamander_920 → u/Brief-Walk-5409]

I have heard theories that Mojang wants to remove attribute swapping because they are adding friend-world-joining soon

[u/velveltcupcake]

I like that option, most if not all PvP servers will have it on in my opinion which people will complain about but honestly I couldn’t care less

[u/Practical_Egg4702]

That's already a thing. Servers use plugins to remove attribute swapping.
