Minecraft 1.9 - Combat Update Posted on Feb 29, 2016 by Searge 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 New End Rod block Added dragon head block Ender Dragon can be resummoned Added beetroot and beetroot soup (from MCE) Added grass path block Added igloos Armor protection values have been lowered Added tipped arrows Added spectral arrows Added Frost Walker enchantment and frosted ice block Added a whole bunch of new sound effects Added sound effect subtitles Brewing Stand now requires Blaze Powder to activate Added skeleton riders We believe we’ve fixed MC-10 and a whole bunch of other issues Removed Herobrine Copied from: http://mojang.com/2016/02/minecraft-19-combat-update/
Please play with 1.8.* - and NOT - "Latest Version" until we get all the plugins/server updates installed.
Hopefully it won't take forever for us to update everything to 1.9. However, I do not expect to see our server update in the very near future due to how many plugins we have that need updating.
Have they still not removed all of the human code, or is "removed herobrine" just a running joke now?
Do they really think anyone is falling for the "herobrine" thing anymore? I hate to be a downer, but everyone knows his code never actually existed besides mods/plugins.
