Template:1.9, known as The Combat Update[1], is an upcoming update to Minecraft with no set release date.

Planned additions

Animations / Entity Models[2][3]
  • Might possibly include model changes within the NBT data.
    • Would be implemented via resource packs.[4]
  • Will make better use of code so that map/mod makers can create better/new mobs.[5]
    • Same as the block data changes in 1.8.
    • Feature may not be 100% complete.
Blocks
  • New block type.[6]
  • New unknown dark colored block.[7][8][9]
    • Cannot be obtained and does not naturally generate.[10]
    • Has a visual effect on the world.[10]
  • Grass Path[11][12][13]
    • A 15/16 block tall grass-like “path”. It features a somewhat similar texture to the grass block.
Items
  • Quivers[14][15]
    • Can hold arrows.[14]
    • Texture was originally made for Legend of the Chambered in 2009, but went unused for six years.
  • At least 4 new arrow types.[14]
  • Shields[14]
    • Would have an other shape and texture like the ones in Legend of the Chambered[14]
Captions / Subtitles[16][17]
  • Subtitles which display for each sound for the hard of hearing/deaf.[18]
    • An example would be “Creeper hissing”.[19]
    • Would have < or > to point in the direction this sound is coming from.[17]
Generated Structures
  • A new type of dungeon with new blocks and mobs.[20]
    • Related to the “new dark colored block”[21][22]
  • Added support to rotate and mirror structures.[21][23]

Planned changes

Bosses
Clouds
  • New cloud rendering system.[29]
Command blocks
  • New GUI[30]
    • Will contain tab to complete.
  • A way for mod/plugin makers to implement new commands and register them in a simple way.[31][32][33]
Death messages
  • Death messages will now be displayed on the death screen instead of just in the chat.[34][35]
Shaders
  • Switch away from using fixed-function OpenGL to using Shaders.[36]
