Minecraft 1.9 - Combat Update

The arrow struck the shield with a impactful “thud!”. Steve peeked around the shield’s edge and saw the arrow was wrapped in a note! Steve excitedly pulled it loose to see what it said…

“You’re happy you had that shield, aren’t you?”

And yes, Steve was pretty happy.


Minecraft has been updated to 1.9! It contains a lot of changes. Most remarkably, the combat mechanics have been updated to make fighting more interesting and offer more map-making options. Here’s a almost complete list of the new and changed features:

• Added shields
• Attacking now has a “cool-down” delay, making it more important to time your attacks
• You can now hold items in both hands (default quick key to swap items is ‘F’)
• Swords have a special sweep attack
• Axes have a special crushing blow attack
• Added the elytra
• New mob: Shulker
• Expanded The End
• Added Chorus plants
• New Purpur blocks

• Added dragon head block
• Ender Dragon can be resummoned
• Added beetroot and beetroot soup (from MC:PE)
• Added grass path block
• Added igloos
• Armor protection values have been lowered

This is bad news.

 

lol, why they removed herobrine I used to drink with him

 

Someone's a little pessimistic, do you even realize how much Wynncraft will benefit from 1.9?! Thanks to 1.9, it's now possible for literally every weapon to have it's own texture! Even if you hate the PvP changes, I'm sure many servers will disable it, just give it a chance dude.

Don't mind me I'm just waiting for 1.9 Optifine.

 

" Removed Herobrine"

 

Suuuure you did

 

You're right, we can disable some of the combat stuff with commands.

 

Time to take like 4 months to adjust, only to find another update...

ALSO PLZ WYNNCRAFT DONT MAKE 1.9 WYNNCRAFT

 

Finally! I'm So hyped! :D Gona try this out RIGHT NOW!

 

He'll never leave. He is an ancient legend. He is the Boogeyman of Minecraft. He is Herobrine.

Also, now that Minecraft has finally updated to 1.9, I'll be keeping a close eye on Hypixel's Adventure Lobby to see if it's finally released along with the final chapter to the Herobrine Trilogy.

This. V

 

"removed herobrine"

This is just supposed to be a joke, as Herobrine doesn't actually exist (at least I don't think he does).

Anyways, fun update! Not fun for servers, though. It will take over a year to update all of the popular ones to 1.9.

 

I'm pretty sure Notch once confirmed Herobrine does not exist, when he still owned Minecraft.

 

Two words: Mythical Shields

 

inb4 takes another 2 years to update to 1.10

 

Mythical Boats!

 

So it was microsoft that made the update!?

 

No, Mojang still makes Minecraft, Notch stopped working in Minecraft in late 2011 and gave the responsibilities to Jeb.

 

you forgot
- added mending enchantment (heals armor and tools with XP)

 

I crash whenever I start a world or join a server
