So, I have had this doubt for a long time. Since I started playing Cubecraft again after the 1.8 shutdown I have always wondered if pressing W while performing critical hits does affect the damage or not. I ask here because I have asked many people in-game and some people say that indeed it reduces the damage, and other people say it doesn't.
Thank you for the help!!
