Gameplay

Item pickup

  • See 92915.

Changes

Blocks

Beacon

• Effect duration depends on pyramid levels, 9 seconds plus 2 seconds per level (formerly a constant 9 seconds).

Items

Arrows

• Now bounce off of creative mode players, whereas before they would pass straight through.

Shears

• Now lose durability when used to break any block (formerly only lost durability on leaves, web, grass, vines, tripwire and wool).

Gameplay

Enchantments

• Silk Touch can no longer be applied to shears in survival.
  • This makes cobwebs unobtainable in this snapshot.

Fixes

5 issues fixed

From released versions before 1.9

• MC-8180 – Silk touch Shears don't lose durability when mining grass, ice, etc.
• MC-16834 – horses don't have sounds for eating.
• MC-62975 – Using pick block on any color banner gives a black banner.

From the 1.9 development versions

• MC-88908 – OS X - When ⌘ Cmd+A in the command block GUI/chat/... player will auto strafe when exiting GUI.

From the previous development version

• MC-92906 – Skins, entities and block entities become transparent.
