I'm going to say combat. This is going to sound like complete crap to anyone who knows me as a player, as I am mainly focused on PvP, however the combat system is complete crap.. The only places where it is decent is where it has been modified to the point where Vanilla-style combat does not function effectively. In Vanilla combat - pre 1.9, which many mainstream servers still use - you often get accused of cheating for actually using strategy, not just clicking fast and having a good ping. Bring potions? Dishonourable. Use wolves? Can't fight me yourself. Fight with a team? Too scared to 1v1. Actually use that fort you spent hours building? Coward. Snipe them? You used a bow! BOWSPAMMER! And so forth. The way you don't get accused of cheating is by fighting like they are.. And that turns into a money contest. Whoever has a good mouse and keyboard, and can pay for good internet, while also having time to spend learning how to click fast - Yes, I know you think strafing is significant, but it actually is not - will win the fight. An example of a much better combat system than either 1.8 or 1.9's is the LotR Mod's combat system.. Good old 1.7.10, the Last Glory Day of Modded. Instead of weapon choice not mattering - in 1.8 - or being much oversimplified - in 1.9 - there is diversity and your weapon choice has a heavy effect on how you fight. Instead of bows being about getting Power 5, Flame, and Punch 2, there are choices in bows, and some are better for different things. Armour choice has some effect, though it is minimal enough that people do typically go for higher protection in general usage. Combat has been made something that you plan for, and use actual skill, not just a talent of being able to click fast, or in rhythm with a timer.

So, is it possible to keep self-infusions from one body or another, or do you have to do the infusion again if you want it on another life?

What do you mean by this? Do you mean a person it crashes in to? People in its tail? People in its apparent blast radius? Or just that when the firework exists it gives someone poison?

DirtDog, have you been inside a Forest Mansion? They appear to have shrines to the High Birds in them.

It can happen, if I remember right, with deleted worlds not properly being deleted.. Since if they "potato" exists when you create another "potato" it will save it as "potato" and "potato-"

Guys, you can kill other people in MC and they drop their stuff. We should change that, since we don't want to promote murder. Why do you think that people are going to start hunting polar bears in real life because they now drop rugs in Minecraft? The only people naive enough to decide to kill an animal because it drops something nice in the game are the ones who wouldn't be able to kill a polar bear. Are you worried about 8 year olds deciding to go kill polar bears because they drop rugs in Minecraft?

Or be a bowspammer. It may sound stupid to lower PvPers, but it's actually not a lame tactic. Bows were made as a main weapon and balanced to fit into the game as a main weapon. Why is it lame to use the bow exclusively, but not lame to use a sword exclusively?

Here is an alternate version. More bear shaped. I could go with that too.

Sorry, not a great artist.

Not sure about the hit box thing. I suppose the hit box for the head part would have to cover the whole block section. Like other objects which are not complete blocks, i.e. fence, end rods, flower pots, etc.

Edit: Actually, they do have multi-level hitbox blocks -- they are called Steps or stairs. I imagine they could use the same type of thing.

I personally think it should be like the Wargskin Rug from the Lord of the Rings mod.

No actual command for that.

In Minecraft, one of my brothers had a texture pack installed. This was back in early alpha. I spent around 4 hours googling how to craft a saddle and trying random recipes since I thought maybe he would tell me how to craft a lightsaber if I told him how to craft a saddle.

I can support it if it is used for the off-hand. Currently, the gloves are nothing but a mindless buff that only costs a very minor amount. If they take the place of a shield, though, they become more balanced for combat.

Yes, you did say it was balanced because it was easy to get. "I think that would be the second person's fault. Gloves are so easy to make, so why hasn't he made them yet?" And, no, they aren't different. They're just another mindless booster to people's combat. They don't add any sense of flavor or uniqueness, just something that, if allowed, everyone has to get or be destroyed. And then.. Why? Why should they be added? 1.9 was about adding diversity to combat. It wouldn't just be two people with diamond swords. Why should we take steps to undo it by adding things with no counter, that everyone has to get, or they won't stand a chance?

Muffin.. Saying something is balanced because it's easy for everyone to get it is entirely invalid. It's highly easy to download and install kill-aura, x-ray, or other mods usually called hacks. Anyone could do it. That means it must be the fault of the person who hasn't gotten one if they lose to someone who has. After all, hacks are so easy to download, so why hasn't he downloaded them yet? Something can't be considered balanced just because everyone can get it.

I don't know if you guys realized, but gloves irl are practically weightless.

Yes, the ring does seem overpowered, I see that. But the glove? One point of protection, slightly increasing fist damage, and slightly reducing cooldown times is not overpowered.
