  1. EEEK its the day im so excited! but i didnt get the update yet :/ when does it come out today. I just checked the release date wasnt moved again!

    No need to hype it more than it is.
  3. I can't get in an play on EMC............ It keeps saying server is outdated.
  4. Got the same problem....
  5. ah, well here is what BurgerKnight told me to do.

    "Boot up your launcher, go to the bottom left hand corner, and click "Edit profile". From there, find what says "Use version" followed by a dropdown menu. Click it, then scroll down to any of the 1.8 version. Click it. Connect to EMC. Profit."

  8. EMC hasn't updated to 1.9 yet.

    I have to say, lingering potions will make mob arena much more different. Just toss a heal lingering, stand there, and let those enraged mobs die.

  9. I'm playing 1.9 in single player and the mobs are much more hostile. A skeleton shot a zombie when it tried to shoot me. The zombie went after the skelly and the skelly''s got some moves. He killed the zombie and just kept shooting arrow after arrow at me.

  10. D': I went back to 1.8 to play EMC like BK said ( what i heard XD ).but now i cant get back to 1.9. I have been waiting for so long and now i cant play it D':
  11. I went back to edit profile and i looked at the list of versions and 1.9 is not there anymore! D': plz help me im SOOO upset
  12. nvm! i fixed it phew :")
  13. Not sure I like that. When I'm building I often try to use those edges to place blocks. Any idea why they would do that? Maybe if enough people were using them the same way I like to they'll put it back.
  14. Man i suck at using the Elytra.....i cant glide so well XD
  15. Bows... Trying to shoot them and I get shot... Yay XD
  16. U have to be careful with the shulker XD if u shoot it with a bow the arrow sometimes bounces back at ya

  17. Dual wielding. a sword in one hand + a bow in the other = shooting and slashing at the same time.

  18. 1.9 is likely to mark the end of my minecraft journey. In the past year, the only two things I've played minecraft for have been for certain EMC events and for pvp. 1.9 is absolutely screwing over combat in my opinion and I don't like a single combat change at all, apart from the effect arrows. All the other changes were things that not a single person asked for and they're fixing something that isn't broken.
  19. Well, I've seen people ask for "more building blocks" before, but maybe that isn't specific enough.
  20. When I said things that nobody asked for, I was talking about combat changes specifically. Probably should have been more specific.
