1.9.1 was an update for Minecraft, which was released on March 30, 2016. 1.9.1 is not compatible with 1.9 servers. Due to a major multiplayer bug 1.9.1 was replaced with 1.9.2 on the same day.

Items

 * Armor
 * New armor attribute:, which includes a new formula for calculating damage:

 * Increased toughness means less armor defense point reduction from strong attacks.
 * Diamond armor has toughness 2, all other armor has toughness 0. A full set of diamond armor, therefore gives a toughness attribute of 8.

 * Sound event.

Blocks

 * Dispensers
