Empire Minecraft is still 1.8 - 1.9.4 is near!

Im immediately turning that off.

It's spelled "Aikar", dude.

Like "My Car", but without the 'M'.

Not like "Mac Air"... also without the 'M'.

In latest news, aikar announced gold prices are going up again after a falling investment in 1.9 from the economy you can exect rejuvinated gold rushes. Gapples til monday

Elytra PROMO maybe? We had promos for other updates like 1.6.

He's not the only one.

You have my vote.

Welcome back Aikar!

well notch apples were rebuffed so, the price will go up even moar.

no

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PROMO HATER!!!!!!!!!!!! DIE U EVIL HATER OF GREATNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: I mean or just like hide in a SMALL box of cardboard

Slightly agreed; the difference between Elytra and horses is the fact that horses were easily breedable in Survival, whereas Elytra can be found only once per End City/End Ship.

Sure, the horses had ridiculous stats for horses, but you could still breed them to get something close if you really wanted to.

I'd support the Elytra promo ONLY if it had Unbreaking of no more than V, did not have Mending, and had the Final attribute so it couldn't be repaired, thus letting people sort of "test" or "demo" the Elytra before deciding whether or not they wanted to go searching for one themselves. Plus, this would make it so everyone would have one to start out with for the 1.9 update, regardless, and because it would eventually wear out over time people could either choose to show them off or use them up completely.

If there's no Elytra promo, no problemo, I won't fret about it either way.

exactly.
the vanilla intent of elytra are to make them rare even in the end game (pun intended) they were not designed for starting players to be flying around potentially getting easy access to outposts to grief

Wow, I cant even see the reply and like buttons on gladranger7's post.....

Thanks for correcting.
OP has been updated.

Mending doesn't work this way. It doesn't sap the level you already have. It prevents you from getting new levels until your gear is repaired. I'd assume that it wouldn't take any longer for your gear to break, since it is ridiculously hard to gather xp in diff 10 when you aren't in some type of bunker. So please don't get to level 500 only to find this out later.

But I have gottten so far...lol. It was a joke in the first place

Actually that's some solid effort. I know. I've seen you work xD

Ew..MacAir.....lol. Windows....jkjk no need for a debate I'm good. I'm super pumped now, I mean they say it's gonna be Monday, but stuff happens. If it comes out then, great, that would be lit, and if it didn't, take your time.

You could still use your experience levels on enchanting a lot of items by an enchantment table and/or an anvil.

Whoop Whoop! 1.9.4 here we come!
I got all of my 1.9.4 mods ready....

Wait, are we updating to 1.9 or 1.9.4?

1.9.4, the title says it.
