A 1.9 Thread

  1. I wonder if we'll ever get a crafting grid (2x2) in creative. Although it doesn't sound logical there are actually a few situations where this could be useful. An example is dying stuff. Leather armour doesn't come in different colours.

    Or perhaps 3x3. Sometimes (depending on the situation) it can be quicker to craft something than looking up its location in the creative list (thi is of course assuming vanilla gameplay).

  2. Cool! I didnt know about the arrow slots. It would help a lot to decide which arrow you would shoot.
  3. Will there be a potion Of withering?
  4. mobs can use shields and armor (giants since 1.8)
  5. Bump.

  6. Guess the Skelie's arms finally got tired from Holding that Bow for about 5 or so years
  7. Are they actually adding this in 1.9? I know you can do that with command blocks.
  8. 1.9 right there.
  9. Who confirmed this stuff?
  10. These are all tweets by Dinnerbone

  11. Oh wow, this is gonna be a very interesting update, I love the path blocks
  12. Really loving the left handed option! I don't like the whole "magical arrow" deal. I have played the game since Beta 1.8.1, so that idea makes me cringe. Normal arrows work fine. If you want to have a better bow attack, enchant your bow. Thats why we have enchanting tables.

    The shields are... interesting. They shouldn't make pvp with them impossible to get a hit, and having them in your inventory had better change the player model so you can see if a person has one. I can see many problems with shields.

  13. i like the path blocks, :p
  14. You will be able to use both arms while in combat. Along with shields, sword-blocking will be removed. The Shield-slot is made for anything to go on left arm (right if you're that guy). For example, a torch can go to your left arm and your right arm could have a pickaxe. I don't know the deal with the inferior arm and whether it works though.

    Holding maps will be 1 handed instead of 2 though.
  15. :mad: More annoying things to get for pvp and avoid.

    I think they need to nerf skeleton shooting times but the animation is nice
  16. woah woah woah everyone knows this update is called the 'Combat Update' and it might come out next year May - July ( I think :p )
  17. Good because 1.8 in-itself was a annoying update. 1.7 In my opinion was a very stable update. 1.9 will kinda counter that except for the pvp aspect of shields (Isn't there a block anyway?) and annoying arrows of blindness and confusion.

    I tell you what minecraft should do is utilize their potion affects like mining fatigue. Make it more life like to actually needing to go to bed after mining or chopping.

    The most wanted item for me is all purposeful backpack.A backpack to carry more items and help mining for ore or all around purposeful larger inventory.
    (They should revamp it so it's backpacks than quivers)

    The biggest blocks I crave are half-glass slabs, MORE WOOL COLORS!!!!! (All light and dark versions of each color), sulfur ore (tnt update), furniture (Which I saw), carpet stairs, lanterns,
    weeping obsidian (http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Crying_obsidian#Crying_obsidian),
    and glowing obsidian (http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Glowing_obsidian)
    [This update of block would require obsidian to be common and easier to break. But not loosing it's blast protection.]

  18. Even though the 1.9 Update is really gearing towards enhancing combat, I am still holding out hope that Mojang will add more things to mine up underground. Like rubies, amethysts, copper, and new stone types. The game is called "Mine"craft, after all. :D

  19. That will fill up your inventory much faster, though.
