![]() ![]() Setting Out for Adventure – New Challenges of 1.9 Shields are useful to hold in the off-hand while a sword, axe, or other weapon is in the main hand. Items in this off-hand can be used when the main hand is not able to use its item (meaning that it’s empty, holds an item without a use function, like a sword, or holds an item that cannot be used at the time). This is because in the inventory GUI there is a new slot next to your player with a shield symbol that is for a secondary item, like a shield or block. Note that in this image (and in others) the player holds two items. Feel like decorating your shield? You can currently craft a shield with a banner to add a pattern! Note that an attack by an axe may disable the shield for five seconds. That’s what the shield is for! When you use a shield by pressing the place block/use button, any melee attacks are reduced to 33% damage and projectiles do no damage. Swords no longer block as of 1.9, so you’ll need a new method of defense during combat. Upon shooting it, the mob you hit will gain the potion effect you crafted the arrow with! Defense: Shield Though bows still act the same, there are many new arrows for you to use to make zombie shish kebabs! Enemies hiding from you? Shoot them with a spectral arrow (crafted with four glowstone dust around one arrow) to make their outline glow temporarily (see image), even behind blocks! Feeling like being extra mean? You can craft a tipped arrow (8 arrows around a lingering potion of your choice). Thus, for quick kills that will take a few hits, you might want to use an axe, but in a fight with a stronger enemy, you might choose a diamond sword, which does the most damage per second. For example, axes do the most damage, but they are the slowest to charge, whereas swords are the fastest to charge and do the second most damage. The period of time is short, but it makes a difference! This means that you need to be strategic about which weapon you use. In 1.9, not all weapons are equal! Swords, shovels, pickaxes, and axes all do different amounts of damage, but in 1.9, each weapon also has a period of time that it takes for the weapon to charge up for maximum damage. Learning to Fight – Attack Mechanics, Shields, and the Off-handġ.9 is called the Combat Update, so it’s probably a good idea to start teaching you the combat part, eh? Let’s begin with the offensive. ![]() Ready? Well, then, let’s go prepare for Minecraft 1.9: The Combat Update. Between hordes of skeletal steeds, enemies flying at you from above, and even beetroot soup (good luck living through that one-blech!), you’ll need all the training you can get to survive. The minecraft combat update is just about the scariest update yet. ![]()
