Brooms - Stopping?

Heyo! So I'm not sure how difficult this would be to code, or how over-powered it would be, but hovering on a broom seems like it would be very helpful.

My idea is that that would be accomplished by holding the jump button (space by default) This would slowly bring the flier to a stop at their current altitude (faster would generally equal a slower stop but better brooms may have faster deceleration). Anywho, as this, like most things, may already be being coded so I'll stop talking now ^u^

The higher broom exp you have/higher level you are the easier it is to control your broom. Also, the quality of broom is also taken into account how easier it is to maneuver. I think you should be able to decelerate enough to a stopping point already just be look down while clicking to change speed/direction. I've been able to do it a few times where I slow down enough to a stopping point mid-air to hover.

 

I like the idea of using the spacebar as a deceleration though. As well as the idea of having better brooms decelerate faster.

Better brooms would slow down faster but still take longer due to the fact that they were originally going faster.

Although I like the idea, perhaps it would be easier if we used W and S keys acceleration and deceleration. It would be more.. Natural to use, because if you've been walking on ice in Minecraft you wand to slow down, you would generally press your 'walk back' key (or shift, but you'd fall of your broom ).
Just an add on to the suggestion. xD

Seems like you guys want to re-work all of the broom mechanics xD

Yeah it seems like it would be a pain so I have no real expectations but the idea of being able to hover like in the books (and movies) seems like it would be very helpful, regardless of how it is done

Minecraft has its own gravity, and therefore it is ALWAYS pulling people down.  If brooms were to 'stop' you would start sinking down unless I used a very laggy method to keep you from sinking down.  So what you are asking for it more lag in the server.
