I literally wasted EIGHT HOURS.. EIGHT!! Trying to find that code in the hope of some reveal or release date or snapshot. I was absolutely perplexed and buzzing all day, that finally, after this seven months of silence, we were actually going to find something out.
But it's Mojang. Why did I expect anything like that?
Some totally irrelevant Steam code that only one person could redeem.
I was 90% ready to quit, but this has pushed me over the edge. Yesterday's events have made me wake up and realise, they will NEVER stop screwing with our expectations. They probably all sit round the table and do it for laughs. For every person angry, they chuckle, and pretend to be apologetic. I have no respect for Mojang anymore. Yesterday's stupid hunt destroyed the last of it, when I realised that there was literally no more other than Steam codes.
I am done until I finally discover through the grapevine that a snapshot is out. Until then, I'm done with Minecraft and Mojang.
You guys I am so disappointed... Searge's code turned out to be nothing more than a Steam redemption code for a game...a code that only ONE PERSON could use! That's right. He created a community wide event, using Minecraft 1.9 screenshots with redacted content and even mentioned a "dark secret", only to have the reward not have nothing to do with 1.9. Not only that, there was no big announcement or reveal, or anything special at all. Talk about no climax.
EDIT: I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE the concept of the hunt, but I expect a real reward that will benefit the community as a whole, such as a snapshot, release date, feature confirmation, or even just an announcement of some sort.
Just to let everyone know, that whole hunt was all Searge's thing. Dinnerbone confirmed Mojang had nothing to do with it. I don't know where the reddit post is where he posted that anymore, but I saw it. Blame Searge, not Mojang.
Here, have a complete changelog detailing everything we're coding in so you know we're doing hard work!
Other game designers:
We can't tell you anything, it would spoil the game.
Mojang:
OOOOHHHH MYSTERY AND SPECULATION! OOOOOH! 3SPOOKY5U
Seriously, though. Nobody likes this endless teasing. From what I can tell, all they've actually added in the past 5 months is a mysterious block that looks like it has an unfinished texture and so far has no purpose.
Good work.
but they haven't gottten to the "Rockstargames" level yet

Minecraft is not medieval-themed!!! As a matter of fact, it doesn't have a set time. And when and WHY did putting reponses in the quote, especially long ones, become a trend in the Suggestions?

Enough with the back-and-forth arguing. If I have to continue to remove personal attacks in this thread, people will start getting warnings and posting suspensions.
In the subreddit post where Dinnerbone was asking for suggestions for the combat update the top post is now deleted which was up for a while. I don't have it archived but the gist of it was suggesting a simple Telegraph/Power attack/Parry/Block/Stamina system.
The idea being that every attack would lead a slight tell or telegraph before it was about to happen, you could also chose between a chop/thrust/power attack, than the attackee using this knowledge can either move/block/parry in turn. Attacking/blocking would take stamina as would sprinting so you can't go full tilt without catching your breath. It was an excellent suggestion and would lend great depth to the combat system which is extremely lacking in the survival game.
Even with cool mods like Battlegear it cannot be remedied since the changing the core system would ultimately break many other things/be extremely challenging. Something like this would be similar to Chivalry or Mount and Blade and would be something that could really show that Mojang can break the mold and shake up their existing userbase. Since it would be a core change mods would adjust eventually and I think you would see a dynamic resurgence in different applications of the concept.

So I was working on this really cool resource pack a while ago, but bad progress nonwithstanding, I think I found something much better... I'm probably gonna never release another custom Minecraft map.Until we meet again...
Can we all stop being impatient it takes a long time to make an update! Once 1.9 comes out I bet you'll all be yelling for 2.0.
Anyone who thinks they're going to get a 2.0 after 1.9 will likely be disappointed. Version numbers don't work like decimal points. You can have a version 1.10, 1.11, and so on and so forth.
Based on how things have been going since the huge divergence that was beta 1.8.x. I'm willing to bet one of the key points of the new combat system in release 1.9 will be the following:
Using some sort of spells and an artifact from the end (Dragon Egg) a player will be able to trap a mob (monster or any other npc) into the Dragon Egg then cast it back out again (using XP for each cast) to make it fight for them. The more they train their MineMon the more XP the MineMon will have and the more abilities it will have unlocked. Oh, and you will have to feed your MineMon throughout it's fighting to keep up it's strength.
This will clearly revolutionize Minecraft.

Curse PremiumWhat are you talking about? 1.8 has been out since last September (~8 months ago).
You know what would be great? If we could stop arguing and speculate about 1.9. Maybe get back on topic a little. Thanks.

"Ignore the people saying that [x] will be the end of Minecraft and that [developer] is basically Satan + Hitler."
Finally a reasonable statement. It would be just fine.
GUYS WE ARE GETTING CLOSER!!! 1.8.4 JUST got Released!
I believe Golden was saying we are getting closer to 1.9 because 1.8 just got bumped up one more version closer to it.
