First of all, YAY MINECRAFT 1.9 IS FINALLY OUT. The combat update is here! I have played some MC, and while I have yet to even get to the Nether, I have seen many of the new changes. A lot of the new sounds are really cool (new door, chest, and furnace sounds) and the new melee mechanics are... different. Don't get me wrong, they're really cool, but it took a while to get used to. ;) I think I've got the hang of things now, and I think axes are my favorite weapon now. Also, the sound for rain is different, and sounds more like actual rain. I actually like it now, and so I'm willing to not turn off weather completely to avoid the annoying rain
