Revision as of 07:26, 6 May 2015

Template:1.9, known as The Combat Update[1], is an upcoming update to Minecraft with no set release date.

Planned additions

Animations / Entity Models[2][3]
  • Could possibly include model changes within the NBT data.
    • Would be implemented via resource packs.[4]
  • Will make better use of code so that map/mod makers can create better/new mobs.[5]
    • Same as the block data changes in 1.8.
    • May not be 100% finished.
Blocks
  • New block type.[6]
  • New dark colored block.[7][8][9]
    • Cannot be obtained and does not naturally generate.[10]
    • Has a visual effect on the world.[10]
  • Grass Path[11][12][13]
    • A 15/16 block tall grass-like "path". It features a similar texture to the grass block.
Items
Captions / Subtitles[16][17]
  • Subtitles which display for each sound for the hard of hearing/deaf.[18]
    • An example would be "[creeper hissing]".[19]

Planned changes

Bosses
Clouds
  • New cloud rendering system.[25]
Command blocks
  • New GUI[26]
    • Will contain tab to complete.
  • A way for mod/plugin makers to implement new commands and register them in a simple way.[27][28][29]
Death messages
  • Death messages will now be displayed on the death screen instead of just in the chat.[30][31]
Shaders
  • Switch away from using fixed-function OpenGL to using Shaders.[32]

Planned fixes

21 issues fixed
From released versions before Template:1.9
  • MC-417 – Arrows first bounce back then appear at correct location
  • MC-669 – Failing to place blocks in creative mode causes an animation
  • MC-1720 – Dropped items bounce on stairs, cauldrons, carpets and full/locked hoppers
  • MC-2310 – Villager/Player getting killed by zombie through a closed door
  • MC-3059 – Bow and arrow can fire through doors and fences

  • MC-28479 – Chest interface not closed when chest is blocked from opening
  • MC-42841 – Incorrect creative instant health damage value
  • MC-52802 – Mob head takes a fraction of a second to change to selected head

  • MC-55942 – Nether Wart hitbox is incorrect on multiplayer (Untested on singleplayer)
  • MC-67163 – Damage value for objective stat.mineBlock is missing

  • MC-75082 – End music will stop every time the ender dragon loads out of view

Trivia

  • Template:1.9's title, The Combat Update, was discovered in Mojang's April Fool's prank snapshot, 15w14a, by how snowfall in certain areas was coded to form a QR code that could be scanned to find the text: Minecraft 1.9: The Combat Update. Dinnerbone later confirmed that this was not a joke.[33]
