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.
Captions / Subtitles[14][15]
  • Subtitles which display for each sound for the hard of hearing/deaf.[16]
    • An example would be “Creeper hissing”.[17]
    • Would have < or > to point in the direction this sound is coming from.[15]
Gameplay
  • Added a left hand.[18]
    • Option to play with the left hand as the main hand.[19][20]
    • The main hand acts as the right hand did previously, while the other hand may equip an item through a new off-hand slot.
      • Shown by a shield outline in the inventory.[21][22]
      • While weapons can be equipped in both hands, a weapon may only be used while equipped to the main hand.[23]
    • The other hand is only visible to the player when something is equipped there.[24]
  • Blocking with swords removed.[25]
    • The replacement for blocking will be wielding a shield in the off-hand slot.[26]
Generated structures
  • A new type of dungeon with new blocks and mobs.[27]
    • Related to the “new dark colored block”[28][29]
  • Added support to rotate and mirror structures.[28][30]
Items
  • Quivers[22]
    • Can hold arrows.[22]
    • Texture was originally made by Notch for his abandoned project Legend of the Chambered, and was added in Indev in 2009, albeit only as an unused texture.
  • At least 4 new arrow types.[22][31]
    • One such arrow is the Spectral Arrow.[31]
      • Possibly emitting light.[31]
  • Shields[22]
    • Shown by a black shield outline in the picture.

Planned changes

Bosses
Clouds
  • New cloud rendering system.[37]
Commands
  • A way for mod/plugin makers to implement new commands and register them in a simple way.[38][39][40]
  • Command Blocks will have a new GUI[41]
    • Will contain tab to complete.
Death messages
  • Death messages will now be displayed on the death screen instead of just in the chat.[42][43]
Strongholds
  • Doors in strongholds are no longer mis-placed.[44]
Inventory
  • Rearranged the survival inventory and the creative "survival tab" to accommodate the new quiver and shield slots.[22][45]
Shaders
  • Switch away from using fixed-function OpenGL to using Shaders.[46]
