Your poll is obviously very one sided. I did not like the combat changes and I don't PVP. I think its stupid to change the way a game plays when it is several years out of beta. They really should add an option to disable the combat changes.

Would give them more of a use. I like this idea. ITs not like Leather is exactly hard to come by I don't see anything game breaking about it.

There has never been a version of minecraft before 1.9 that added a feature that ruined the game for people. Adding new items, new worlds, redstone, new land generation,villagers, temples, etc Did not ruin any type of gameplay. IF you hated every one of those things you could still play the game you wanted to play You don't have to enter the Nether or Enderworl. Nothing forces you to build redstone stuff, or to mess with villagers etc. Again you don't have to explore water temples, jungle temples, etc.

Unless your simply building in creative mode this update forces game changing features on us. If you wanted to completely change the genre of the game from a casual sandbox building game to a hardcore PVP fest you should have announced and done so when it was still in beta. I really REALLY hope they add an option to disable this new combat system. I can't even kill a damn creeper without a bow now something that was not an issue before. My friends and I play on a private vanilla survival server and have done so since 2011. None of us like the combat changes.

It saddens me so many people like them. Probably the same people who spend $1000 on P2W cellphone games.

The genre changing combat did it for me. Im not a PVP player but I still don't like it at all!

Problem with going back to 1.8.9 is your not going to get any of the bug fixes. For example you can't keep a horse on a lead with 1.8.9 because when you leave the area and come back the leads have popped off the horse. There are tons and tons of bugfixes you will never have fixed unless you keep updating.

It seems ashame so many people have to be content with never seeing a minecraft update again because of one game breaking feature added to the game. If your going to update a game and change its genre you should do it during the Beta not years after its official release.

I don't PVP and I still hate it. Yes I hope they at least add an option to enable or disable it.

So I have been playing minecraft since the Beta (I think Beta 1.4 the update right before weather came out). Anyways I can honestly say there has not been a single update that ever bothered me. Sure some of them added features I never really cared about but nothing ever took the fun out of the game.

Well congratulations 1.9 you have earned the achievement of making the first update that officially ruins the game for me. I despise the new combat system. Jumped into my world and almost died to a spider and a skeleton. There really needs to be an option to disable or enable this new combat system. I have a couple of friends who play with me on a private server and they feel about the same way. We don't PVP its strictly PVE vanilla. Always liked having a little bit of challenge but not this.

I just don't think its good business to completely change such a major feature in a game that has been out for YEARS. Adding new items here and there is great optional game mechanics isn't bad either. Have changed this from a relaxing sandbox building game to an action hack and slash style game.

I know we always have the option to go back to 1.8.9 but then we will have no more bug fixes, no more content, no more nothing!

This is the first update I have absolutely hated. How many years has this game been out? Now they want us to completely learn how to play it? The new combat is horrible.
