So, why did you take away Attribute Swapping????

The Minecraft Attribute Swap, or “Bug” as it used to be, is a highly helpful, and at this point, a completely routine part of the game. Microsoft, I really do understand your reasons for wanting this “bug” gone, but at this point in time, is it really still a bug? Take a potato chip for instance. 72% of people like potato chips, and a lot of Microsoft employees may be some of those people. Anyways... Potato chips were created completely by accident, and yet now, people make them in packages and bags. They sell them. It may have been a mistake at first, but wasn’t it a good one? 

Going back to the Attribute Swap; It may have been a mistake at first– an accident. But now, is it not just part of the game? The above paragraph mentions the Nether roof, such as how a player can Ender pearl-glitch through it. Yes, maybe at one point that was a bug or mistake, but now, is it not a part of the game? Are there not millions of videos that include it? 

Tell me, Microsoft, are you really going to force millions of people to include a plug-in on their server, or to stay on older versions, just to clear up a bug? Will you not lose more people that way? Who will go on the newer and newer versions you are making? I suspect very few. A tiny portion of all who play Minecraft normally. To conclude, Microsoft, please do not remove the Attribute Swap bug, because I honestly feel like it will end up worse for everyone.

Thank you,

    It's nice that mojang accidently invented those potato chips, but the potato chips are completely taking over all other snacks! All the shops are forced to sell the potato chips to the customers if they want to keep existing. Eventually other types of food will be removed from the shops because no one wants the other type of food.
    Going back to the Attribute swap; yes, it really became a part of the game. But this PvP technique completely took over all the other types of PvP. All the players were forced to use attribute swap if they wanted to stay alive. That's not what minecraft is. You play minecraft how you want to play it, and not how a bug wants you to play.

    attribute swapping has became a staple in modern pvp scenarios, why remove something the community has widely accepted and used to drastically increase the skill ceiling of pvp due to it being a bug in the start of development.

    Breaking the nether roof was also a bug at first yet mojang decided to accept it as a feature currently, So why should attribute swapping not receive the same fate of being a bug turned into a feature?

    Overall this bug fix completely overhauls most modern scenarios for the worst, Why change a bug that's loved by the community and used to push the skill ceiling of the game?

    This sums it up nicely you guys are just giving us nightmares at this point why do you take away good and useful bugs and keep the bad ones. Please understand that this doesn't improve the game it ruins it for more than half of the player base
