Yeah, my little guy's hoping I have this installed for him by the time he comes home from school.

...

apparently my job is less important than the new update.

Heh! Anybody want to host a new 1.9 server? :D

Hmm, says here: http://mojang.com/2016/02/minecraft-19-pre-release-1/, that 1.9 will be released on Monday Feb 29th.  So not today, like was originally planned.

Well to be fair I haven't been playing many games, trying to get some more art commissions done

One of them sent me back to school where I had to teach myself how to draw a style I'm not familiar with... the end result is gonna be worth a lot more than $20 though, that's for damn sure

I played Firewatch, it was OK, it's very linear though, but enjoyable. In retrospect I would have just watched a let's play, there's virtually 0 replayability.

So, 1.9. Updating the home server was easy, just had to replace one .jar with another and update the batch file to call the new .jar. Updating the clients was easy, too. The only thing is Forge isn't ready yet so the mods we are used to don't work.

I think the coolest thing is the new boats. They have oars, they turn quickly with the directional keys, and THEY DON'T BREAK.

Tom, any chance you're going to update Planet Bob in the next little while?

We'll have to see. I don't have a lot of time and/or energy for the next week. If I have some downtime before the flight I can do it.

I can't reply on the server status thread, but yes, boats are amazing! You can even row them on obsidian.

Hey, did you know they added subtitles in? It's in the menu. Once turned on, there's a text popup in the bottom right telling you about sounds that you would hear...

WOAH COMBAT'S A LITTLE HARDER.

When you switch to your weapon, you'll see it slowly rise along the right side of your screen.  When it's all the way up, it'll do full damage.  If you just click like crazy like you used to do in 1.8.9 and before, your attack won't cool down and it'll do almost no damage.  The visual indicator is that you won't see your weapon rise back to the full ready position.  You can also go into the menu, go to Options -> Video Settings -> Attack Indicator, set that to "crosshair" or "hotbar" (or something like that), and you'll see an animation at your crosshairs or at your hotbar to show when your weapon is ready again.

Also, skeletons now start trying to flank you as soon as they enter combat with you.  Quite a bit harder to hit them with your arrows now, at least until you get used to it.
