Ranged Weapons, Bar Cooldown

Okay, so range of a weapon seems like a bad idea, the reason being is that the sword will have to look extended too and would damage the classic minecraft look, and second reason is that the hacking that a ranged item will provide will be annoying to deal with. My option to help the update would be to add a bar cooldown. The way it works is that the bar will go down if spammed a lot but will regenerate once the player waits, it does both justice to the old combat style of spamming but keeps a cooldown so that the fights wouldn't be over too soon. This could also open up the fact that Haste potions could now be a thing so that the players can now brew a potion to help them fight last quicker.
