I made a post about this on my suggestions thread but I think it warrants its own so here it is, a lot of players are saying that S1 only does .5 hearts less than an S5. I can't imagine this being intentional (if it is correct me), so I hope it gets fixed asap
I don't play KitPvP, but I highly doubt that this is intentional. Also, please report bugs here: https://mccentral.org/community/forms/bug-reports.15/respond Have a good day! ~ AwfullySus
The swords definitely do the right damage, its vanilla Minecraft. If you are testing on a player with armor, do note that damage reduction takes place. There is a minimum amount of damage a sword will do with diamond armor with protection on it, so whereas it appears that there is a small gap between S1 and S5, I can assure you, they do the right damage. The 'fair' way to test it is to use the sword on a naked player. That way no resistance, armor values or protection values are changing the results. We've looked into it too, there is definitely no bug with the sharpness or damage calculations.
That's weird because when I crit someone in full p5 s6 and resistance with a sharp 1, it does 1 1/2 hearts to the player a few times. I've tried the experiment with my good friend and I crit someone out 10 times with a sharp 5 and sharp 1. The sharp one I think got the player to 12 and the sharp 5 got the player to 14.
If you think thats the case (which it is not), then feel free to stop using your S5/S6 swords and just use S1 swords. This is not a bug, nor is it a reality. Thread locked.
