1.9.1 was an update for Minecraft, which was released on March 30, 2016. 1.9.1 is not compatible with 1.9 servers. Due to a catastrophic multiplayer bug it was replaced with 1.9.2 same-day.

Additions

Elytra

• Added sound effects, while gliding in the Elytra.
  • Sound event item.elytra.flying

Armor

• New armor attribute: generic.armorToughness
  • Damage formula is now damage = damage * ( 1 - max( defensePoints / 5, defensePoints - damage / ( 2 + toughness / 4 ) ) / 25 ), i.e. increased toughness means less armor defense point reduction from strong attacks.
  • Diamond armor has toughness 2, all other armor has toughness 0. A full set of diamond armor, therefore gives a toughness attribute of 8.

Changes

• Attack indicator (Crosshair) is now enabled by default.
• Session ID is now no longer printed by the game to the log files or to the launcher.
• Entity selector c (count) now sorts on proximity using true coordinates, not coordinates snapped to the grid.
• Loot tables now also work in dispensers and droppers.
  • Dispensers with arrows in jungle temples now use loot tables.
• Hoppers can now push and pull items to and from chests, that are blocked from opening.
• Increased limit per tick for scheduled tile ticks from 1,000 to 65,536.
• Improved AI.^[verify]
• Shields no longer take damage when blocking weak attacks (less than 3 () damage).
• The title of the inventory of minecarts with chests and minecarts with hoppers now match the item's name.
• Skeletons shoot less quickly on Easy and Normal difficulty.

Fixes

• MC-95352 – Spatial target arguments c, dx, dy, dz behave unexpectedly and inconsistently.

From release version 1.9

• MC-90257 – A chain of command blocks may take more than 1 tick to traverse.
