Where have you tested this? Because I've been using them in the wastelands and they definitely take damage there. Could it have been related to where you were or what you were fighting?
http://imgur.com/a/DsntM For some reason, we on Utopia, are not getting more portals to spawn to outer islands aside from the one samsimx and I made when we killed the initial dragon. I have since killed a couple dragons, and some people were even farming dragon heads there a day or 2 ago- yet we have no new portals to other islands. Not sure if this is a bug or not, figured I would post it here. And yes, I have a beacon set in the end on Utopia... mainly for obsidian farming .
Pity. Ah well the old way still works and at least we will get a fix eventually. Just in case anyone does not know. How to make a horse sell shop: (that can sell more then 1 before needing restocking) You need: 2 chests, 1 sign, 1 hopper, and 26 junk items (dirt, sticks, the tears of your enemies, anything) Instructions: 1. Place your first chest (now to be referred to as the shop chest) where you originally intended and add the shop sign to it as you would normally except at the bottom for item name write [slot 1]. 2. Open the shop chest and fill each slot with an item except for the 1st (top left corner). 3. Shift-click a hopper on the chest (make sure the output tube is facing toward the shop chest) 4. Shift-click the second chest (now called the stock chest) on top of the hopper. 5. Fill the stock chest with the horse spawn eggs. Now whenever anyone buys a spawn egg the hopper will immediately replace it with another. The [slot 1] will tell you patron the stats of the horse on the 1st click (it's 2 click to buy) but for customer convenience I recommend adding a second sign above the shop sign with the item name (horse, mule, donkey) what speed/color range is offered by that shop chest. Theirs many variations to this; you don't have to put the hopper and stock chest on the top; as long as the hopper is drawing items from the stock chest and funneling them into the shop chest (full of junk except for the first slot) your good. You can also make the stock chest a DC if you want to have more then 33 horses in stock at a time (sc+funnel+shop slot=33 max. dc+funnel+shop slot = 60 max). I'm temporarily adding some preview signs to my bargain bin horse chest at my shop (/v 10803) in case anyone wants to see how it works
Tested on: SMP6 Wastelands SMP9 Frontier SMP9 Wastelands I am doing that. I recorded a video: In the video you can clearly see I'm being attacked by multiple mobs, but if you'll look at my off-hand slot, you'll see neither of these attacks actually harm my shield.
Also, I don't know if this is 1.9 related or not, but this makes it a bit easy to find these mobs Name tag says 'Blizz Ard'
This is just a guess mind you, but could it be your texture pack? Reason I ask is because I've noticed plenty of players who ran into weird issues ("I can no longer brew, it doesn't work?") which turned out to be caused by their texture pack. Also: I assume you simply made the shield yourself? Seems like a plain shield (no banner attached)... Well, one way to find out. Off to SMP6 wasteland I go
It's not a 1.9 bug; you can see playernames and special mob names through walls when your that close. I hope you remember where that is. it's a leftover special mob from Christmas you can get holiday promo items if you kill it.
Nope I turned off my resource pack, Forge, Optifine, and still the same. The zombie attacked me multiple times already before I took the screenshot.
Shulkers on opposite sides of loot and ender chests within an end city building can destroy the chest(s). I encountered this in multiple cities (at least four).
Just adding my 2 cents... Aya fought a bunch of mobs on SMP6 waste with a shield which also had a banner applied to it: the shield took normal damage. She plays on diff 4. I just fought a bunch of mobs on SMP2 waste with a shield without any banners applied (just plain): no damage. I'm using difficulty 6. Right now it almost looks to me as if shields behave differently based on applied banners, but that is a very wild guess and one which I cannot back up right now with test results. Later on Aya and me will both be trying varies settings out on SMP2. But bottom line: glitch confirmed on my end as well.
My dreams have finally come true! Ulti, we'd better ask Krysyy if we can update the wiki with this exciting new info already! (ok, ok: just to prevent misunderstandings: I'm totally joking up there, just like Ulti. However, with some wiki edits we do consult staff to discuss edits up front, that part could have been real (but its not!)).
