That looks really good!

Really? Well, IDK if this is going against any rules, but here's the texture anyways if you want it...

Am I the only one who hates this feature? I mean, the worst thing that happens if you use a resource pack that isn't updated is a few new textures will be the default ones. Do we really need an extremely annoying prompt every single time you try to turn on a resource pack?

If you want to fix resource pack incompatibility, watch this:

Ender Dragon got updated again, new changes are pretty substantial. Her charge knockback attack is back and a lot more persistent, you're probably going to need feather falling and some ender pearls now to avoid fall damage.

• Charging attack is back, climbing up pillars is a lot harder now. Seems to do it a lot more the closer you are to crystals.
• More ender crystals are caged, 4 now instead of 2.
• The AOE of the Ender Acid attack is much larger, she'll damage you in a 360 degree radius. Don't get near her.
• Now cancels Ender Acid attack more often if you're damaging her while too far away, she won't just sit there and take arrows forever now. Also appears to be a damage threshold before she takes off again.
• She will immediately charge at you after finishing or canceling the Ender Acid attack, it will take multiple arrow hits to stop her
• Fireballs are more accurate, though there seems to be a problem where she destroys them accidentally due to the way they spawn
• Does more damage in general it seems. I got nicked in the ass by a fireball trying to climb a pillar and lost about half my health in iron armor.

So far I haven't killed her legit without dying from fall damage or something, her knockback is a lot more cheap than before. But I'm using simple iron armor gear, which is stuff that would have won the fight with ease last snapshot. In a real attempt you'll want feather falling, enderpearls, and maybe a regeneration potion. I don't think diamond armor is necessary though.

IMO the Ender Dragon is designed much better than the Wither. She relies more on AI and attack patterns instead of constantly spamming you with fireballs, and she doesn't require overpowered gear because she's unfair like the Wither. If you don't know the attack patterns you'll probably get wrecked badly though.

I'm really enjoying this snapshot, even though content wise it wasn't stuffed. The new fight is awesome, and some bugs were fixed. I'm glad that Mojang is finally doing stuff for the end!

Anyways, I updated the topic again. Really loving 1.9 so far!

the frames still sucks WHY DO YOU DO THIS SNAPSHOTS

The only problem I see with 1.9 is dual wielding on pvp servers, it will definitely change everything up a bit.

I really don't see how. You can't swing both arms, the off hand is strictly used for items that have a right click function such as placing blocks or eating. In the way I see dual wielding only add some convenience, just less keys you need to press on your hotbar. Dualing wielding a torch and pickaxe really isn't that different from putting them in the first 2 slots of your hot bar and pressing 1 and 2 back and forth, it just moves everything to your mouse buttons.

Now, once shields are added I think we'll start seeing some new things happen.

IF you put, say, an iron sword in the offhand slot and fight with a diamond sword, it would be quite interesting. I think it would be quite hilarious to see people who don't know you can load the offhand slot with a sword be surprised at that fact. I'm not too excited for the "combat" part of the combat update, tbh. I like to sit back and bowspam people from a distance or be invisible at close range. I'm not very good at PvP so I play my strengths. If that means I go underwater and fight, then I do.

I heard there's gonna be a shulker boss!

cab anyone confirm this?

Wait, never mind. I just figured out that it's fan made. Oh well

Shouldn't end stone bricks have the around same blast resistance as end stone? In the wiki, end stone has 45 blast resistance, which is the strongest block next to obsidian and liquids. End stone bricks have a blast resistance of 4, which is as strong as wool.

May be a bug or an oversight. You should report it.

Ever since The End arrive onto the console version, I highly appreciated the fact that the fight was different than the Java version. Attack patterns were consistent and predictable, up to the point where you can stay alive as long as you know them. However, it was incredibly easy. I remember asking a suggestion time ago that requested the brutal behavior of the 1.8 Java dragon to be integrated into consoles'. And here we are, a wish come true. Still, the fireball attack is very lackluster and uncreative. I hope that changes soon, at least provide it with a unique projectile that is actually effective in damaging the player.

It seems that with the dragon, the developers want the player to engage in ranged battle while she is "protecting" the portal due to how she doesn't let anyone get near her. That's fine, but shooting her from a few blocks across with a bow without taking a single hit is not exactly fun.

I dunno how to get the snapshot so I am totally in the dark. Can someone tell me how to get it?
