Varied Combat Structure

Something that has always annoyed me a little bit is that when I play Bedrock Edition, there's really no skill required to fight, you just spam the attack button as fast as possible. So, I'm suggesting an easy-to-reach button, such as F1 or one of the arrow buttons on a gaming controller, that would allow you to switch between slashing and stabbing. Slashing would have slightly lower damage, maybe just one point lower, but, like in Java Edition, would be sweeping, able to hit multiple enemies at once. Stab is basically Bedrock Edition's current combat structure. It would have the normal amount of damage and would only hit one enemy at a time. However, I don't know if there's coding or game engine issues that wouldn't allow this to properly work in the game, so if there is just take down the suggestion.

    This is a good idea. I would prefer to keep the 'stabbing' as default though. Currently on Xbox there are a few redundant controls, such as B and pushing down the right stick, as well as X (which opens crafting) and Y (which opens the inventory). So maybe pressing the X button would let you toggle stab/slash, kind of like the B button toggling crouch/stand. 

    Anyway I have always been kind of disappointed that you can't hit multiple enemies at a time in Bedrock Edition, so I like this idea.
