1.9 Hype? – The Combat Update

15w34b:

Changes

All mobs

– Give off brown hearts when hurt.
– Will give off more of these particles when more damage is done to them.

Command blocks

– Improved handling of flow with failing commands.
– 2 new settings – Unconditional and Conditional.
– Defaults to unconditional.
– When conditional is set, it will only execute when the command block behind it was successful in execution.
– Now supports tab auto-completion.

Attributes

– New ‘Attack Speed’ attribute, generic.attackSpeed, measuring fully-charged attacks per second. Base is 4.0, meaning the bar refills in 0.25s.
– Swords, pickaxes, and shovels have a modifier of -2.75, resulting in a value of 1.25 (bar refilling in 0.8s).
– Axes have a modifier of -3.2, resulting in a value of 0.8 (bar refilling in 1.25s).
– The Haste effect increases the attack speed by 10%, while Mining Fatigue decreases it by 10%.

Armor

– Armor points now depend on armor durability.
– When armor reaches half durability, armor points will go to 1 (half an armor bar). This is probably a bug, see MC-86840.

Minecarts with command blocks

– Now have the new impulse command block texture.

Fixes

4 issues fixed

From released versions before 1.9:

MC-185 – Creating or loading a singleplayer world shows the main menu for a brief second

More Combat Update Hype!

Update: Apparently i am too slow and 15w35a (and 15w35b) are already released, full changelog to be published soon…

15w35a:

Changes:

Zombies

– Zombie villagers now have different textures based on their profession and career.
– New VillagerProfession tag for zombie villagers is used to determine what profession the zombie is represented as, as well as what profession it will become when cured.

Command Blocks

– Now have an option of “Needs Redstone” or “Always Active.”
— “Needs Redstone” is the previous behaviour.
— “Always Active” causes the command block to always behave as if it was powered.
— Also changeable via the auto NBT tag for all command blocks.

– New textures for command blocks.
— Darkened outlines on the centre shapes.
— The back of the arrow texture is now curved when the command block is set to conditional.

Combat

– Shovel base attack damage reduced from 4.5 to 2.5.
– Pickaxe attack speed reduced from 1.5 to 1.2.
– Axe base attack damage reduced from 8 to 7.
– Axe attack speed increased from 0.85 to 0.9.
— This slightly reduces the damage per second.
– Hoe attack damage is now always 1.
– Hoe attack speed now increases by 1 every tier, starting at 1.

Refer to http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/15w35a for the damage table.

Note: Dealing damage with an axe, pick, or shovel decreases its durability by 2.

Optimisation

– Experimental performance enhancements.
– Fixed client memory leaks.

Attributes

– The Slot string tag within AttributeModifiers determines which slot the modifier is applied to.
– Available slots are: “mainhand”, “offhand”, “feet”, “legs”, “torso”, “head”.
– Example: /give @p minecraft:diamond_chestplate 1 0 {AttributeModifiers:
[{AttributeName:”generic.maxHealth”,Name:”Test”,Amount:10.0,Operation:0,UUIDLeast:1l,UUIDMost:1l,Slot:”torso”}]}

‘Want a’? Please correct your English first.

I posted here in case some people want to read but cant access the website (for whatever reason, especially due to poor internet)

Also, this isnt from a mojang website. In fact, its from a wiki, and not everyone access the wikis…

I think you should tell autocorrect that, or even better, turn it off, or set it to optional… -.-
