So if you haven't heard the news, Dinnerbone from Mojang posted a Picture on Twitter which is a strip of random colors, or is it?When you run the 2x204,960 image through some code to turn it into the 854x480 default Minecraft image size, it turns into the following image:

What this means is that we will get Quivers, different types of arrows, and possibly shields?! in 'Minecraft 1.9: The Combat Update'
What do you think of the changes? I personally love the changes being done. Leave your opinions down below!

I personally like none of the planned changes, and I feel it will just make it completely different in a weird way. They should work on the networking side of the structure of the game to work with lag/very low ping imo.Posted on 04 May 2015 - 04:56 PM
Don't like the arrows already, but I wonder what they'll do with the shields.Bit gimmicky though

It's a running "joke" with dinnerbone, I don't quite know why.Posted on 04 May 2015 - 09:46 PM
I still laugh every time i see dinnerbone in anything.Anyways, I'd wait till this comes out to pass judgement. Bowing is (imo) one of the least broken things about pvp in minecraft. If they change it too much…. ;-;

By the look of it they are adding arrows with "effects"
Ex- poison arrow, you shoot them with it, causing them to be poised(logic xD)
I don't think they will mess with the animation/the way it shoots,I'm just guessing though :)

I'd be ok with that, as long as they dont mess with the physics

I don't like it already :// The only I'm wishing for is to fix meleePosted on 05 May 2015 - 12:37 PM
If this is the best thing ever it doesn't make up for 1.8s shit-pk
Posted on 05 May 2015 - 12:51 PM
This is going to turn out like a modpack.Hopefully they don't make it like 1.8 where you get so little hits,
where the bow looks messed up
blockhits,
i'm curious about the new items though

I honestly think this woukd be good but I wont necessarily use it because if I dont want to, I can very easily disable it.
