Where is Mojang / Servers / 1.9 Going

[Sloth]

Is it bad, or do you all make it bad?

I noticed when someone says something negative, it spreads like fire, and this happens

It is really just bad. Out of all the updates ever made, this one is by far the worst.

That andersite and granite they added a few updates ago... They should of fixed the textures of it like everyone asked. (pointless blocks)
and now we got end bricks and purple blocks (also pointless)

Ugly pointless blocks.

Also that orange wood is never really used... same with the super dark.

lol you probably don't even build. andesite, acacia wood, and dark oak are really commonly used, and i dont doubt that the new blocks will be used just as much.

Ah. I actually love the update in single player! I must agree the abrupt game mechanics are bs.

Many PvP servers might just want to keep it 1.8

Or keep it at 1.7 because 1.8 is trash for PvP as well as 1.9

The only decent Factions server left is SaicoPvP

Cancer lol 240ms when i'm in London, I get better ping to American servers.

Runnint a towny server is fine, limited pvp, doesn't affect us. Updated all plugins and got 2k joins in a week, currently #4 1.9 server on PMC ;D
sure, pvp and mob grinding is slower but modifying the attackspeed with the new spigot Attribute API is easy.

The update isn't shit, what's shit is what you do with the update.

The update introduced some really cool new features, make use of them. Fix the shit ones, and stop complaining.

Mojang don't give a shit about us, nor will they ever. Moaning will not change this.

Haha, I'm betting 1.9 was an idea generated by the very smart people at Microsoft. I'm betting they said something like "Minecraft isn't a combat game, let's make it a combat game to attract more players."

Some users are also using just requesting a custom bungeecord version

to allow protocol hack for 1.7 - 1.8 and 1.9 and use the combat of 1.7 and 1.8 just to allow 1.9 connections XD

I don't think it is as easy at that. I don't if developers can just wave their wands and say allow 1.9 connections on 1.8

There is a protocol hack for 1.8 to be compatible with 1.9.

Protocol hacks are when all features from 1.9 that are not part of 1.8 are disabled when a 1.9 user joins the server.

This allows for both 1.9-1.8 to be used.

Look- this is only your preference. I get it. The update is weird, and may force some people to change up their gamemodes a bit. Personally, I think it's a great addition to Minecraft and Minecraft servers. We needed new fighting. And, this wouldn't make Factions so 'click after click'. It would mean more strategy. If you absolutely hate it, there are ways to prevent and/or change the new fighting mechanics.

Servers are coming out with the new 'attack speed' trait plugins, which maximize the speed at which you can swing your weapon and other tools. And better yet, if you want to stay in 1.8 altogether, just hire a developer to create a 'protocol hack' ez.

I don't see why you need to come on here and say "everything sucks now, Minecraft is dead" when really, you can solve either of these things. The community can and will adapt.

This is just how things are, whether you like it or not.
