Normal: EAT CARROTS 1.9: EAT GOLDEN CARROTS I hope that actually made sense, Unlike when I was talking to Kq - "Dumbass, We dont need to know about your life, Or your conversations!"
I honestly like the Elytras, they are the most fun addition to minecraft yet. I like pretty much everything in the 1.9 update. I honestly dont know why people are complaining about this update, The combat features really remind me of Skyrim. (Even though i never really played it myself) In reality, Swinging your sword rapidly at an enemy would not even do a thing to them, it would only piss them off more and they would strike you harder with there weapon. so thats why i feel that 1.9's combat mechanics are more realistic then the whole Jitter-clicking mess :p (Just my opinion.)
(Coming from a 1-handed weapon master) Yes, 1.9's pvp is alot like skyrim's 1-handed weapons, where you don't just swing your arm like a fan on the high setting. Ofcourse there are no power attacks or stamina in Minecraft, the idea of timing attacks is much like Skyrim, but nearly every other game as well, such as Melees in COD or the plasma sword mechanics in Halo.
I like the Elytras a lot. And duel wielding is pretty cool, but I have to admit some of the stuff being added is complain worthy. It's still pretty AWESOME anyways.
No, I haven't had that problem yet, but it's still in the making and glitches can occur. (After all, it's not an official release yet)
So far, the whole thing. 1.9 is WAY more interesting then 1.8. Elytras, dual wielding (that's how it's actually spelled btw), shields, and the new npc coding is cool. Finally they're challenging. Skeletons are cool now.
Did you do this in your normal directory or a separate? I use a separate custom directory, and it works fine.
I like that their is less internal changes than 1.8 (Quicker server updates) but also things like new PVP mechanics, duel wielding and the revamped End.
