Hello! I would like to talk about the new Minecraft update "The Combat Update". I am making this because i am bored, and because i love writing stuff like this. xD Although you could find this on multiple Minecraft pages over the internet, we don't really have one for MineVerse. It would be really nice if this could be the first official one ;) (This is not copied from official Minecraft pages) I am gonna list the new blocks, mob(s), and other new stuff they added!!! ~Blocks~ ~Dragon Head~ This has to be one of my favorite new "blocks" or "heads". I find it really awesome, that if you power it with a lever, it shows the animation of it moving xD ~End Items~ End Rod: I would consider this like a fence, but end based. It is really nice when used as decoration, and it also can be used for light just like glowstone! Once MV updates, this is gonna be one of my favorite decoration blocks! End Stone Brick: This is just like Stone Bricks, but is end based. You can simply craft this with 4 block of endstone, just like stone bricks. It has an awesome texture, and is sexier then ever with some resource packs! End Crystals: They made it so you can craft them!! :D ~Purpur Items~ Omg, i absolutely love this. You can use these for the same stuff as nether bricks, stone, and quartz. You can craft stairs, slabs, pillars (just like quartz) and you can make amazing structures with these items. Armour Stuff ~Elytra~ I honestly don't know why a lot of people hate this. I find it pretty cool how they added this into the update. Just imagine how awesome it would be when going to destinations and coordinates. A lot of people are gonna make parkour maps for these. I would love to see this implemented into MineVerse, Elytra Parkour ~Shields~ Yes, although most of you probably hate this, i personally find that it will add a different aspect to pvp. On McMMo servers, it is like the acrobatics "dodge" chance. I hope this gets implemented into MV soon :D If you hit it with an axe, it has a chance to temporarily disable the shield. This reminds me of McMMo as well. Mob(s) ~Shulker~ I personally like how they added it. I feel like we needed at least another mob for The End biome, because the only really one was Enderman. Although, i don't really know where they spawn. ~Zombie Villagers~ They really only updated the skin/texture to these. Potion Effects ~Glowing~ This is a new effect that you can summon with commands. (/summon Creeper ~ ~1 ~ {Glowing:1}) Or that you can use. All you have to do is get spectral arrows and a bow, then shoot the mob/player! ~Bad Luck~ This is another new potion effect, although you can only get it with /effect. It is not a potion that you can make, or get from creative! It reduces the luck with what you get in natural spawning chests! ~Luck~ Again, another new potion effect. With this potion, you can get it with /effect, creative mode, and you can brew it! You gain luck when opening natural spawning dungeon chests. ~Levitation~ When Shulkers shoot projectiles, this is the effect you get. It levitates you up in the air, and can be used to get to higher distances. You can only get it with /effect, and can not brew nor get it in creative. One of my favorite new potion effects. Arrows They have added a bunch new arrows, they all consist of potion effects, just arrows instead! This is gonna be one of the new strategies in PvP, because there is no cooldown. Instant Damage 2 arrows are gonna be OP (; Boats They added all different boats, including Oak, Spruce, Birch, Jungle, Acacia, and Dark Oak :D I love the new animation of boats as well, it makes it look so realistic. God Apples A lot of people probably don't know about this, and a lot of people probably want to know about this. Well, i am gonna explain. You can no longer craft enchanted golden apples, (Otherwise known as God apples) you can only get them from dungeons, which is rare or /give and creative mode. They also give different status effects, the now give: Fire Resistance and Resistance for only 5 minutes, instead of 8 minutes. Absorption 4, for 2 minutes, and Regeneration 2, for 20 seconds. This is gonna play big, when you are in a game of UHC on Mineplex or Badlion. Enchanting ~Mending~ This is a new enchant, and i actually like it. Whenever you get xp while killing something, it automatically fixes your armor/weapon. There is only one level of it, only Mending 1. ~FrostWalker~ This is another new enchant, for boots. It is not like Depth Strider, but it is way different from it. With this enchant, If you walk near water, it turns into ice. There is a new block of ice, but if you break it with silk touch, it will not drop. It is very rare to obtain, and is called Frosted Ice. Only obtainable with /give and creative mode. If you jump from a high place, and land at water, frost walker will not work. You have to go on land, then go to the water for it to work. This also will not effect griefing, because the ice melts within seconds. ~Silktouch~ You can no longer attach silk-touch to shears, although you can obtain cobwebs without them now. This is really the only stuff that i can think of, and that i have looked at in my Minecraft 1.9 test world. So, that is gonna sum it up, i hope you guys learned from this.
Hmm i don't think so :( so if you want it on skyblock it need to be hacked in xD But i guess the server shop will sell it
And apparently there is a glitch going around where the graphics are ugly and the ugliness is turned up to eleven. The graphics also spasm around like eleven.
Who needs end dungeons when you can enchant a sword and right click it! (It teleports you to the end apparently) There is countless bugs/glitches that I've noticed and it's disgusting that Mojang didn't bother checking them before releasing 1.9. I love the Elytras though, they are amazing
Nice thread c: good for ppl that dont know all the info. Id also add that the end is now infinite, and that you can no longer run through players, and that trap doors no longer require a supportive block behing them. xD <33
tbh, i hate 1.9, its so bad :C op pvp will be ruined. I play a different server called CubeCraft(hope this isnt advertising cause Im not) and it fully updated to 1.9. I dont even go on that server cause its 1.9! I really hope Mineverse takes this into consideration if or when the update to 1.9 (ps op pvp is a massive gamemode on mineverse)
