I personally don't know. Ive been playing Minecraft for over a year now, so I know it pretty good. I ussaly play Hardcore mode in PC when I want to play single player, but I mostly play on servers in multiplayer. But since 1.9 came out, people are debating wether or not that this is the best minecraft update ever.
First of all. I find Minecraft 1.8 simple. It added armor stands and bunnies and all sorts of good stuff. Also people made really cool resource packs for 1.8 to. Now they added a LOT of stuff for the 1.9 update. They added Sheilds and shulkers and lingering potions and even a new look for zombie villagers.(I think)
I liked how mojang added shields to minecraft. The shields work well! In older versions of mineraft, you had to use your sword to block off attacks, but that wasn't very affective. So the shields are. But since you can block off attacks with the shield, that meant that mojang removed the block feature from swords. So you cant block using swords.
Also a BIG change they did to minecraft was that now you can use both hands to hold stuff. Like, if your going mining, you can have a pickaxe in one hand, and maybey some torches or something else in your other! I find that impressive.
But in some big servers, they don't let you swap items and hold two stuff in your hands though. But that dosent really matter.
Also theres cool new potions and a new type of potion called the lingering potion. Where you can throw it and when it crashes on the ground, it will make like some sort of, I don't know, some pad or... well you know what it does.
Also they expanded the end!
The new 1.9 update is really cool. They named it the combat update. and I know this was a little to late for me to post this, cuz 1.9 came out a while ago now. But I want to know what you guys think.
And yes, there is some problems with 1.9. It makes the game crash a lot, and my worlds get corrupted.
So guys what do you think? is the best update ever? |

imo the only bad thing is weapon cooldowns.
Like, I see why they did it for PvP but for PvE it's just annoying trying to fight hoards of mobs. |

| I usually ignore minecraft if I'm not playing with shaders. But I guess the update doesn't seem to bad. I just wish there was a "hard" mode like in terraria. Like once you kill the ender dragon, the world enters hard mode. |

Theres a hardcore mode. But that's just hard difficulty and you only have 1 life. But yeah, if you switch your difficulty in options, theres a hard difficulty |

| That's not what I mean. I am talking about new/different types of mobs that spawn after you kill the main boss. And different armor types past diamond would be nice. |

| Cooldowns are actually good since PVP wont be unbalanced. |

The Elytra things are my favourite feature. The spectral effect gets annoying in multiplayer though. |

I think it's fun, but I'm not a huge fan of the cooldowns, but it's okay. My only problem is that 1.9 is sooo laggy, that I don't even get 60 fps with Optifine on, which is crazy.
Your friendly neighborhood console gamer. |

All they do is add halfbaked and useless mechanics.
''Hey lets add dungeons, and by dungeons we mean small cubes filled with enemies that spawn randomly, thats totally a dungeon''
''Hey lets add a new ore which is only useful after you beat one of the only 2 bosses! and even if its useful only after defeating the hardest boss out of the 2, its only slightly useful! yay!''
''Hey lets add villagers whose only purpose is to trade rare gems for 1 piece of chicken! AMAZING IDEA!''
''Lets add tamable wolves that are useless anyways!''
And you know something is wrong when the modded game is better than the vanilla game. |

I still haven't played the update yet. It broke the game for me for some reason. Every time I try to start a world the game crashes. RIP.
IG I'll just wait for the update to come to the Wii U version. |

| ### was good. it changed the way combat works so its not spam spam. but they added shields to make it possible to do. also before, if there was a skeleton, then you pretty much HAD to take damage. but now its easy to block with a shield. |
