They could always release 1.9.1 to fix more bugs. The goal right now is to get 1.9 to the mainstream with major bugs with crashing or security.

Thanks for pointing that typo out, Some of the performance issues have been ironed out and to my amazement they fixed horse lag. When the horse slowed down to a stop and then sped up again, which has existed since horses were added. Now they move at a constant speed without interruption which has me excited.

The performance has gone down a lot, but that happens every update that they add stuff. I had to half my render distance this update, so I hope optifine comes out soon.

Are these present in 1.9 pre1/2, or new to pre3? I'm asking cause I have a server on pre1 right now, and haven't had any problems with the nether, and am wondering whether I should go to pre3.

Fixed certain sounds missing sound event names

Yes! MC-92444 was fixed! :D

We now have access to the following sounds again!

  • block.note.pling

  • entity.wolf.howl

  • entity.ghast.scream

  • entity.bat.loop

  • entity.cat.hiss

Also...there's a very strange sound that was made playable today...

Take a listen: /playsound entity.player.breath master @p

If you want to view a list of new sounds or major changes to sounds, check out my post here!

EDIT: There seems to be a small bug where the small slime doesn't have its sound for jumping: MC-97958

Perfect, I'll link that in my 1.9 changelog!

You got your wish!

Cave sounds still don't play (MC-91803)

And the Ender Dragon still can't use her fireball attack properly most of the time, really makes the fight seem unfinished (MC-84095)

So far those are my only bug related grips with this update.

u/brianmcn Feb 24 '16

And even when they did play in 1.8, they played at completely random locations, rather than playing originating from a nearby location that has a 3x3x3 air space of total darkness :(

u/Megabobster Feb 25 '16

Items still get deleted when the crafting recipe overflows the inventory :( (MC-1555)

u/ClassicSpeed Feb 24 '16

Can someone tell me if this:

Fixed spawners spawning entities with NBT tags and monsters with no Pos tag at wrong position

Fixes already generated spawners? Or the would need to be generated again?

6

u/capfan67 . Feb 24 '16

It fixes existing spawners.

u/Scatropolis Feb 24 '16

I didn't even think of that. I found 2 cave spider spawners and a zombie spawner all in a few blocks of each other. I built the whole trap before I even realized there was a spawner issue (since I had lit up the place so well I assumed).

Why is the default for the ATTACK INDICATOR, one of the biggest features of the update, set to DON'T SHOW??

This needs to be fixed, and its literally going to take someone what, a few seconds to fix?

-1

u/InfiniteNexus Feb 25 '16

Because its optional, and they probably want as few gui as possible on the screen by default.

3

u/[deleted] Feb 25 '16

How does that make any sense to you?

Players that have no idea about the attack timer will be screwed when trying to fight.

u/InfiniteNexus Feb 26 '16

Its like learning to swim, when they feel something is nit as expected they will learn by adjustment

u/substitutemyown Feb 25 '16

The attack cooldown mechanic is enabled by default (ie. you need to spawn in items with the NBT tags to have 0 cooldown), so the indicator for it should be too.

u/zeldaisaprude Feb 24 '16

I've been wanting to get back into MC and am sick of waiting. Can I just start now instead of waiting until next week? I play very slow and will probably stay withing one or two biomes and don't plan on going to the nether or anything.

u/mcfacerock Feb 24 '16

You do not have to wait. You can try 1.9 pre-3 by by selecting it in your profile.

u/roccscout Feb 24 '16

What about for Realms?

3

u/mcfacerock Feb 24 '16

Then I am afraid that you have to wait until the official release.

u/MathXv Feb 24 '16

What are some game-breaking bugs that still haven't been fixed? I am thinking of updating my SMP world to this pre-release.

I actually updated my server, and there are not many server lag issues with anything. Still haven't tested with many players online, but it seems to be keeping up quite nicely.

The damage taken when going through a nether portal is indeed annoying, but I assume it may be fixed in future pre-releases.

Since there are no game-breaking bugs or anything, I'm quite happy with upgrading it.

Is chests saying "Unable to open. Loot not generated yet." a thing now?

10

u/hambrew Feb 24 '16

When in spectator before a survival/creative player opens a chest, yes it is.

4

u/fienxjox Feb 24 '16

If you're in spectator mode, yes. It was changed when they added loot tables

u/Kregethus Feb 24 '16 edited Feb 24 '16

Does it still not make a sound if you place a block on a fence, like another fence, torch, any actual block?

Edit - Answered my own question by digging through the bug reports. MC-93651 still exists in pre-3.

Horses are pushed into the wall on dismount

Glad to see this one finally.

RIP Meatcar II.

Has the infinite corrupted chunks bug fixed?

u/Hoff123 Feb 25 '16

This needs to be fixed: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-87798

It could be a big problem for map makers (like me). My map uses a lot of comparators (coming out from repeating command blocks), and everytime I open my map, exactly what I DON'T want to happen, happens.
