KOTH sword - some thoughts

The extra 5 hearts can be difficult to take advantage of, as if you switch from the sword to food to eat, you "take damage" and lose any extra health beyond the regular 10 hearts. Offhanding food is also not an option as sword blocking takes priority over offhand actions (although unsure if I would prefer that changed or left as is) In addition, because healing uses a lot of hunger, if you switch to the sword with minimum saturation (full hunger, but hunger bar shaking), you won't even regenerate to the full 15 hearts. I even tried eating afterwards, and while I did reach 15 hearts, my hunger decreased below full to get there. Getting the full 15 hearts is likely less of an issue with golden apples, but there's still the issue of losing the extra hearts once you need to eat. also read below
