I need this. This might actually be a planned addition, as we may get up to 16 different command blocks.

+CriticalPrime9 Okay. New shield would be OP if they were improved upon the current shield because, yes, the current default shield is very powerful. But I think it would be better if the current shield was decreased in power Then add this to the original suggestion. , then improved upon that lowered base power level, a Diamond shield being only a small part better than the current shield. I never said that there *has* to be more than one type of shield.

-Also I know gold has less durability

When I said Iron Shield, I meant one made of full Iron that made Iron the primary ingredient in the shield. The Current shield uses primarily wood, and only one iron ingot, in the crafting recipe, and is, therefore, a wooden shield. Plus, Just because something can block faster, doesn't mean its the only thing that will be used. If you had to choose between a shield that took 0.5 seconds to equip, but had a 50% chance of not blocking the attack or a shield that took 0.75 seconds to equip, but had a 100% chance to block an attack, I'd go with the safe bet. (I know that this isn't the case, but its just an example).

I'd also like to add that I don't very much appreciate your accusation of fishing. I'm not trying to take other people's ideas for anything. Just because you think I might be following the actions of someone else that does that kind of thing, don't assume that you know my intention behind asking for other people's ideas. I am genuinely interested in what other people would want added to this game. If your interested in other people's ideas, then just read the main suggestions forum. That is where people are supposed to post ideas.

But, I do appreciate your criticism and your desire to make ideas better.

You do realise leather shields were a common choice for lightweight and agile armies back in the day?

And critisicm doesn't give you the right to be rude towards another person

I like it, however i think it would make more sense if...

A: This only works on tamed wolves

B: It was a bone instead

That way, the bones would be used to tame it, then once it was tamed, you could give it an additional bone that it could chew on.

Okay so ive been thinking about ideas to upgrade the existing biomes:

Beach biome: make it bigger beach with palm trees on it to make it have life Nah, I like the idea of new wood types. But as stated by some others here, palms are known for being tall and thin, minecraft doesn't do thin.
Swamps: when entering a swamp it will be little foggy and there will be willow trees around to make it extra spooky I like the fog idea, but the trees in swamps are meant to be willows, they do need to change the wood type from oak though.
Desert: instead of villages make it like an ancient city What does it look like? What kind of buildings and loot does it have? Details are needed. which have new mobs like Ancient defenders A what now? maybe a Farrow Again... A what now? as a boss in a castle? Its a castle now? Elaborate.
Ocean: it may be nice to have like corals some plants in water maybe fishes swimming I like both these ideas, but what color would the coral be? Is it obtainable? How deep underwater does it spawn? Can you stand in it or does the water fill in it? What type of fish are there? Just the default ones? Would the fish be killable? If so what do they drop?

Thats all for my ideas if you have more ideas feel free to post it!

hope they are good

First of all I would like to say you already suggested this the other day, and now you've reposted it because you didn't like the responses.

I made another thread that contained this info. So don't hate on me for being new to MCForums XP This has nothing to do with you being new to the forums, you re-wrote it so that you could get better response.

An Idea I want there to be in 1.9 are New Shields

-Iron Shield (Iron is already used in the crafting recipe, so theres no need for this.)

-Golden Shield (Gold is known for having very low durability, and is never used, therefor this is useless.)

-Diamond Shield (This is too op, therefor should not be added)

-Hide (Leather) Shield (Maybe) (What for? So you can dye it? Banners can be added to shields for that already, so this is useless.)

-Stone Shield (Maybe) (Why? Stone tools are basically the same as wooden ones but with slightly more durability, and the normal shields are so easy to make that no one "needs" this.)

More Shields would be fantastic because we have more than one type of armor, more than one type of axe, sword, shovel, pickaxe, anything used by the player that can, and will, be used in combat by the player. (Not all tools, weapons, armor have multiple types. Shears, Fishing Rods, Flint and Steel, Bows.) Not only would they be great, it would make so much sense to be in the game. (But why? I see no desperate NEED for it.) Starting from the wooden Shield, each tier of shield would be able to do the following:

-Block More Melee Damage (Player currently takes 30% of melee damage in a blocked attack, a better tier shield could reduce that to say 15 or 10%) (Way to overpowered, by the time you get diamond your basically invisible)

-More Durability (A better item means more durability, right?) (No, as I stated before, even though gold is listed as the third tier of tools/armor it has the lowest durability, even worse than wood.)

-Faster Equip time (I noticed this because I started making a monster arena in a single player world using the new snapshots, but when you block with a shield, it doesn't instantaneously block the attack in front of you, there's an offset in the time it takes to press the block button and for the shield to block, with better shields, this offset time could be a factor to decrease (or increase for shields with Pro's and Con's) ) (But then people would just use the default one because it could block more attacks, and its cheaper to make, therefor making this whole suggestion irrelevant.

-New Looks? (Maybe the Golden Shield looks like a Kite shield and the Iron Shield is a large Buckler shield? Not a need, but would be cool to change) (No, banners and shields are already combinable for this reason. We don't need new looks for shields, we have endless new customizable looks already.)

Yeah I understand about everything now and it wasn't a new feature. But honestly have full support for the second chat but lets be realistic here, why make a new command that does the SAME THING as the /tellraw command except for the delay part! It honestly is just a waste of time coding in a new command insted of upgrading the current /tellraw command which would take a lot less time.

/tellraw @p {"text":"Hi there!!","wait":10}

Time is in ticks

No support.

Im not going into specifics, just the overall idea of what the update could be.

In 1.7 and 1.8 we got an update to the over-world and ocean biomes, with new biomes, blocks, plants, trees, a new mob, a new structure, and a new boss.

In 1.9 we got an end update, with a new structure, a new mob, a new plant, and endless amounts of islands, and a reworking to the dragon fight.

I suggest, that in 1.10, we get a nether overhaul, with new biomes, a new mob or two, various new blocks, structures, etc.

As I said, I'm not going to go into specific, this suggestion is for the update as a whole, not the exact items/blocks.

Horses already have unbreakable gear, as many people have already stated, just get a goof, fast, high jumping horse & you won't have the problem of it dying so quick. Or just continue using potions. It isn't that big of a deal.

No support

I agree that minecraft is in need of more biomes, and blocks... (1.10 The building update (PLS)) However, I think they should focus on adding biomes to the NETHER, in 1.7 we got new overworld terrain/generation, in 1.9 we got new end terrain/generation, so I think its past time that the nether got its overhaul. However, some of the suggestions here would make a great addition to the nether. So, I guess that would be considered partial support? Great idea!

Alright, so I want this thread to be specifically about things that I, or that any of you, This is called idea fishing, don't request people to give you ideas for your suggestion. want to see in the upcoming combat update. We already know that they're adding various things to the combat update such as: -Shields -Beetroot -New Melee Combat Mechanics (Yay!) -New Enchantments -More cool Stuff
I know this isn't a complete list of what they're planning to add, but I wanted this thread to be specifically about what could and should, realistically, be added to the upcoming combat update. Now I have a few ideas that I had thought of between walking to my dorm from class. Irrelevant. A big one being this:
-More Shields (Iron Shield, Gold Shield, Leather (Or Hide) Shield, and Diamond Shield (Maybe a stone Shield if they feel like it, but there's no Stone armor so maybe that's a little far-fetched) The "stone" one is far fetched? But the one made out of LEATHER is toooooootally realistic, and a shield of pure diamond? Genius! But seriously, none of these make sense.
Iron Shield: Iron is already used in the crafting recipe for the default one, therefor this is technically already the default shield. Golden Shield: A shield of gold? Why? Gold armor, tools, & weapons are all known to be of very low durability, & are almost never used. Leather Shield: The only use of this would be to dye it, but we can basically already do that by adding banners to shields, so... Diamond Shield: This would be too expensive to make, and why do we need this when the basic one is fine?

More Shields would be fantastic because we have more than one type of armor, more than one type of axe, sword, shovel, pickaxe, anything used by the player that can, and will, be used in combat by the player. Yeah, but we also only have one type of bow, one type of shear, one type of fishing rod. Not everything *has* to have multiple variants. Not only would they be great, it would make so much sense to be in the game. But... why? Starting from the wooden Shield, each tier of shield would be able to do the following:

-Block More Melee Damage (Player currently takes 30% of melee damage in a blocked attack, a better tier shield could reduce that to say 15 or 10%)So basically your invincible by the time you make a diamond shield, too op.

-More Durability (A better item means more durability, right?) Nope. Didn't I just get through talking to you about gold?

-Faster Equip time (I noticed this because I started making a monster arena in a single player world using the new snapshots, but when you block with a shield, it doesn't instantaneously block the attack in front of you, there's an offset in the time it takes to press the block button and for the shield to block, with better shields, this offset time could be a factor to decrease (or increase for shields with Pro's and Con's) ) Okay, but, then people would just use the basic one because it would be quicker and could block more attacks. Therefor making your shields irrelevant.

-New Looks? (Maybe the Golden Shield looks like a Kite shield and the Iron Shield is a large Buckler shield? Not a need, but would be cool to change) They made shields and banner combinable for this exact reason, to change the look of shields, theres no need to change the look of the item more.

Anyway, That's my first Idea I'm adding to this thread. All ideas welcome. I would like to have a focus around combat/weapons/and armors in this thread, but if you have an idea that's indirectly related such as a food that gives the player a buff that proves useful in combat, I'm open to it! Once again, this is idea fishing, and its not okay.

Okay, I had a major typo, its fixed now. xD I meant 1.8 was boring with the pvp/pve, not 1.9 xD

I personally love the new combat mechanics for 1.9, in my opinion combat in 1.8 and below (PvE and PvP) where, to put it simply, boring. Shields, cool down times for weapons, new arrows, flying fights, lower protection on armour, all pluses in my opinion.

And honestly isn't this what we've been asking for for years? Better combat? Better fighting mechanics? And now that we've finally gotten what we wanted all I see is people complaining! Its ridiculous.

(Also, 1.10, Building Update, PLEASE!!! O_o)

What is the most recent STABLE snapshot? Is the latest one stable? If not, which snapshot would you recommend I use?

(Yes, Ik to make backups of all world before loading them in snapshots.)
