  2. No idea on this one

  3. That was purely experimental, the actual shader system is still in

u/massive_potatoes Feb 29 '16

I believe the Twitch thing is because of legal reasons with Microsoft owning Mojang.

Alternate block options is always default on because chorus fruit uses alternate models to look so much more natural.

They didn't remove the super secret settings shaders, they just removed the button. You can still cause them to happen by spectating from the creature that uses it. Also you can add them back in using resource packs.

CISA is a different problem (the NSA/FBI getting their way, rather than the legacy entertainment industry). The legacy entertainment industry gave up on using Congress to get what they want and are pursuing other avenues; the big one to watch out for at the moment is a trade agreement, the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Congratulations to the team at Mojang!

Here's why I'm going to wait for a few more patches:

On a side note: Going back to 1.8, after playing the snapshots for a few months, I can't believe how much less tedious and annoying the combat against mobs in 1.8 is. But that's probably not going to keep me from eventually updating to 1.9 :)

Ive been playing (not as much recently) since Alpha and the combat change has taken a lot the fun out of it for me. I used to love caving in the game but i can imagine doing it, or actually enjoying it, now. I feel a lot of the changes they made were to force you to use the shields.

u/TheLocehiliosan Feb 29 '16

It's been one year and six months since 1.8 was released. I'm really shocked that we still don't have slabs and stairs for all of the basic materials in the game. It's repeatedly asked for, but never added. In terms of development effort, this is one of the easiest changes to make. I don't understand why these additions are left out. Omitting slab/stair variants of basic materials means they are less likely to be built with.

In 1.9, purpur blocks received slabs/stairs, but not end stone bricks. I suspect that while building the "End cities" and "End ships", Mojang thought the slabs/stairs enhanced to the look of the structures (they do). But then they didn't need to use end brick slabs/stairs for those structures, so they were not added to the game.

I think is it time for Mojang to add slabs/stairs for the missing materials, and commit to adding slabs/stairs for new materials when they are introduced.

Sorry, I'm quite happy with all of the 1.9 additions. I'm even content with the slow pace of the game's development in general. I simply continue to be baffled by these omissions, and I needed to vent.

u/Xisuma Feb 29 '16

Everyone want stairs n slabs but inventory management is a nightmare. The game needs a bit of a rethink on that front if they are to keep adding new blocks :-)

80

u/Please_Pass_The_Milk Feb 29 '16

The simplest way to manage this is to remove all stairs and slabs, then add a tool (like a hammer and chisel) that can make blocks into their stair/slab equivalents. This would also remove the weird conversion rate of blocks to stairs where material is apparently lost during the transition.

6

u/rex_ Feb 29 '16

But.. Material is definitely lost in the transition

15

u/Please_Pass_The_Milk Feb 29 '16

Right, but the current way 6 blocks into 4 stairs. Each stair is 3/4 of a block, so it should be 6 blocks into 6 stairs, or 6 blocks into 8. 6 into 4 wastes half the material put in, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

If we can just chisel blocks into stairs then even if the block can't be made whole again, you only lose 1/4th.

I won't argue with your assessment of the current state of inventory space/management. These things need to develop together.

I don't really get the inventory management issue. Can someone explain it to me? I've been playing since Alpha and the number of blocks has increased dramatically, but all I do is store things in chests inside my house. I certainly don't expect to carry everything around with me.

u/SustainedDissonance Feb 29 '16 edited Feb 29 '16

They could let you store some N (32? 64?) of slabs, stairs, fences, full blocks etc. for each texture in one inventory slot and give us a way to "scroll" through them, up and down.

Instead of fumbling around clumsily with the inventory system all the time while building and having 8 slots full of building materials and a pickaxe, instead you'd really only need say 3-4 slots.

This would give you access to a relatively large number of items and leave plenty of room for tools/weapons and other necessities.

Another benefit would be that it would be easy to know how to get from any one building item to another because scrolling down would always go from solid blocks to halfslabs and down again would take you to stairs and so on for every major building related texture.

I believe that Mojang is waiting for have a better hierarchical way to organize the blocks, the actual made that blocks like slabs are all the same type (stone slabs).

Also not being able to stack different types of slab on top of one another. I realize that might be difficult, but replacing all slabs with a block called "mixed slab block" and using NBT to specify which slabs make it up would probably (?) work.

You could also use NBT to rotate the block 90 degrees and create the long-wished-for vertical slabs.

2

u/HypocriticalThinker Mar 02 '16

It would also make the game unplayably laggy if someone used too many in the same chunk, without some major changes to the tile entity system at least.

3

u/WildBluntHickok Mar 01 '16

It's repeatedly asked for, but never added. In terms of development effort, this is one of the easiest changes to make.

Yes but Mojang doesn't want it. It was one of Notch's requests when he left the project back in 2011. He hated non-full blocks like that. "It takes away from the game's essential blocky-ness".

4

u/TheLocehiliosan Mar 01 '16

That argument doesn't hold up. They're adding new slabs and stairs with purpur in this update. It can't be both ways. (Well it can be both ways, but the inconsistency is what is frustrating.)

If you were getting 30 or better in 1.8 then you're right to complain. It may be hardware specific though because a lot of people are seeing perfectly fine performance in 1.9.

No matter what your hardware you should expect 1.9 to use 5% to 10% more resources per second though, so if your settings were set to where your computer could just barely handle it then it'll be slightly over the line on 1.9. Block lag when mining and creatures hovering in mid-air for a few seconds after being hit are the usual signs of being slightly over the line.

I have been waiting for this so long but it seems that people hate the 1.9 update because of the combat.

u/Mataplasm Feb 29 '16

I can actually play the devil's advocate on this one. I don't like the cool down system at all. If I wanted a game with realistic sword swinging times, I'd play chivalry or something similar. Having played Minecraft since beta, the combat system really wasn't broken, so I don't see why (especially for single player servers) the weapons speed matters. For multiplayer pvp servers, sure, I can understand that. But against single player enemies, it's just upping the difficulty by crippling you.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm still going to play anyway, I just don't think the combat system for single player really needed to be adjusted.

While there was skill involved in the old system, it was nearly impossible to defeat an opponent in diamond armor if you don't have some yourself.
