1.9 Updates: New Character Screen!
Jeb tweeted a new image recently, indicating some significant changes to the inventory - stats, possible bottles for potions and more! An earlier tweet seemed to support the potion theory, with a mention of a possible blindness potion. He seemed to indicate that the inventory/stat changes would not take effect in 1.9, however.
Already, we have seen a large shift in the way Survival Mode plays, with the inclusion of NPC villages, more expansive dungeons (including strongholds, and nether forts), a large number of new creatures and more. What will be added next? Keep an eye out for more updates!
Yep sadly man. I'm with you 100% on this one. I dealt with the pistons and endermen but this is a bit to far.
I personally see nothing wrong with any of the new features. Hunger? Who gives a crap, it's not like you die from it. Villages? Rare enough that if you don't roam all over the place you may not find one. Really, you can totally ignore the RPG aspects if you want, I know I do. In addition, stats will likely not be MMO type where they restrict your ability to do things, but rather provide bonuses.
A little laugh at the people complaining about Minecraft being an "FPS". You do know that FPS means "First Person SHOOTER"? Having a bow in no way qualifies Minecraft as a shooter. All minecraft shares with other first person games is the fact it's in first person. Really, people.
I deffinitly think you are inccorrect. mojang would not add a second inventory like that. plz explain how u came to this conclusion. look at the way the numbers are setup next to them. that is a level system level:exp not an item tracking method.
@XeroJABS: The reason why I don't think the potion effects will be in 1.9 is because there's not enough time to add the brewing syste' From Jebs twitter. I'm guessing that it'll be in 1.10.
