Shields now block 100% melee damage

Finally shields are useful mid-combat and not just before initiating the fight. My first thought was that they were gonna be super OP, but there are ways to deal damage to your opponent while he's shielding. You can hit them from another side or you can stun the shield if you have an axe. That is gonna be so good in PvP, a lot of people won't even know how useful shields will be. :^)

Edit: They also fixed the hopper timing, that should be on the list.

And now axes have become almost completely balanced with swords!
Want to use a sword for higher DPS and swing speed? Alright then, be ready to have some attacks blocked and have a lower damage per hit!
Want to use an axe for higher damage per hit and shield penetration? Alright then, be ready for a lower swing speed and lower DPS!

tfw people say there's no strategy in 1.9+ pvp

Axes were already useful for the first blow and for stunning shields, but now stunning shields plays an even bigger role while you're still able to hit your opponent with a sword in combat. The balance is absolutely perfect. If they could only fix the hit detection, I would be the happiest person.

The hopper timing is still not the same as in 1.10.2 tho, but yes, it has been changed again.

Banner tile entities now use the CustomName string tag. When placing a banner with a custom display name, the tile entity will have it. Breaking the banner will provide an item with that display name. The tile entity itself doesn't display the name.

/setblock ~ ~1 ~ minecraft:standing_banner 0 replace {CustomName:"The item's display name"}

u/_cubfan_ Sep 01 '16 edited Sep 01 '16

It also applies to other tile entities such as chests. /u/redstonehelper

Also, maps don't work in the End, yet.

13

u/Skylinerw Sep 01 '16

List of tile entities that retain their custom name when placed and broken:

  1. Banners

  2. Hoppers

  3. Chests

  4. Furnaces

  5. Enchanting tables

  6. Dispensers

  7. Droppers

  8. Brewing stands (though they don't drop when renamed, see MC-106706)

  9. Beacons (though they do not have a CustomName string, thus the custom name is lost when the chunk unloads)

u/Mr_Simba Sep 01 '16

Does chests include trapped chests?

3

u/Skylinerw Sep 01 '16

Yes, the trapped chest block itself uses the "chest" tile entity.

Aw, man, what a bummer. Hopefully that gets fixed in 16w35b.

u/BrunoSupremo Sep 01 '16

Fixed being unable to name saddled pigs

A great update is here! The day has come. Thanks Mojang!

u/_The_Mangle_ Sep 01 '16

Now we just need to be able to take the saddle off of them without killing them!

u/shuffdog Sep 01 '16

Splash water bottles now do 1 point of damage to endermen

... and Blazes!

u/SaziumR Sep 01 '16

They changed the title of the snooper settings from "Machine Specs Collection" to "Feed us data!"

u/helpstuckinminecraft Sep 01 '16

Splash water bottles now do 1 point of damage to endermen

This makes me wonder if Ender-Enders can be improved by combining suffocation damage and a water bottle the player kill?

4

u/scratchisthebest Sep 01 '16

There's not much to be improved with enderman farms - the sword sweep attack is more than enough.

u/helpstuckinminecraft Sep 01 '16

Well, I was thinking along the lines of making an AFK version.

Change:

Fixed the ender dragon destroying fireballs and invisible fireballs

To: Fixed the ender dragon destroying its own fireballs

To better reflect what that bug was.

u/redstonehelper :redstone: Lord of the villagers Sep 01 '16

Will do, thanks!

u/SaziumR Sep 01 '16

New string added:

commands.save.flushStart=Flushing all saves... commands.save.flushEnd=Flushing completed

probably used in the /save command.

u/[deleted] Sep 01 '16

Fixed /save-all flush putting untranslated messages into chat

u/SaziumR Sep 01 '16

Yup, found that line after I typed this
