Minecraft 1.9

[RU Joe]

Coming soon to a Minecraft near you.

New Arrows, Dual Wielding & More! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an8c_TC8CGU)

NEW ENDER DRAGON FIGHT! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7nbGe58FKg)

Massive End Dungeons & More! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKo3BHE1r7I)

I love these changes and additions already.
The End is going to be so cool to explore, instead of just being neat but at the same time meh.
End Dungeons!
New aspects!
New mobs!
New loot!
New blocks!
:clap: OH BOY~!

I know the dual wielding will certainly be handy :laugh:, but I'm also exited over those changes to the glass and iron bars in addition to all the new blocks; this is going to help add so much more detail to builds~!

Sounds cool. Maybe now I'll step into The End finally. Never had much reason to before.

I don't believe you.
Not even once, to see the Ender Dragon face on?
But still I understand what you mean about not having much reason to; that's why they revamped it.

I'm a bit miffed about what Captain Sparklez alluded to a few times in the videos, specifically that new content is being added to the consoles while us long - time {original} players on PC have to wait.
:waiting::excruciating:

That's BS.

[Dudebro]

I don't believe you.
It's true though. I've seen videos and screenshots of it and I never felt motivated to bother. I figured I'd do it someday so what's the rush?

I don't wanna sift through all of that to find it but did he confirm it's console first or just a guess?

[Kugyince]

Come on now. The 1.9 pre-releases have been available for PC users for weeks now.

He mentioned that the 'Grass Path' block had already been added to Tablet, and that the 'cages' around the Ender Crystals had already been added to Xbox and PS4.
Little things, but still I say why not give us PC players those things first, since we are after all the original players.
I have an account from the Alpha days.
Why should I have to wait, is what I'm saying.

Ten:
Come on now.
Where are we going?
The 1.9 pre-releases have been available for PC users for weeks now.
It's news to me.

This still doesn't change the fact CS says in the videos that consoles got stuff first, meaning that at the time his videos were posted, they already had all this neat stuff we are still waiting to be officially released.

[Dudebro]

Think of it this way JG, console players get screwed hard on the grand scope of the game. They wanna keep people playing it on consoles so they can keep selling dlcs/microtransactions. We get it all for free so there's no motivation for them to hurry in that regard.

Makes sense.
But I still don't like it.

[Dudebro]

Now that Microsoft is in control you should expect more disappointments. I don't mind them normally but I can't see a good future for a game like MC if they have their way.

Did you guys see this? I think it's gonna be awesome. Finally we can fly without it looking really messed up and dorky.

[Kugyince]

Yeah, the gliders have been out since Oct 7th.

Here's a video on flight controls. Information starts at 2:33.

Well, I guess these additions look Ok, but I'm waiting until they at least fix the Nether Portals before I start playing.
I screw things up enough all by myself without help from the game.

[Mareeps]

They really should add a better way to move around the Nether. Even with Fire Resist potions, moving around requires either tunneling neat the ceiling or making bridges, with the risk of Ghasts shooting you off, not to mention the lava seas.

[Seahawk]

I'm gonna start a new map when 1.9 hits.
