Minecraft 1.9 combat update: end

Minecraft has released a new update minecraft 1.9, the combat update. This update has added a lot of new things in to minecraft. One of the biggest improvement is in the end an advanced minecraft dimension.



The End

* Generates an infinite amount of islands in every direction from the main island, though separated from it in all directions by an empty gap of about 1,000 blocks.

Ender dragon
*Can be respawned by placing one End Crystal on each side of the exit portal at any one of the three blocks of that side.
*While respawning, beams shoot out of these crystals, that will reset all the pillars and when done they blow up and spawn the dragon.
*Subsequent dragons will spawn new gateways up to a total of 20, but won't create new dragon eggs and will only drop 500 experience.
*When the dragon is respawned, the circle of pillars and the crystals reappear.
*Explosion particles appear on the tops of the pillars as they are being rebuilt.
*The fight has been changed to be more similar to the one on the console edition.
*No longer take damage from snowballs, eggs or fishing rods.
*Its attacks have been changed:
*The "charge" attack has been given a great amount of knockback.
*Breathes fire/purple particles (called "dragon breath") while on top of the portal.
*During the attack, it knockbacks and damages all players on all angles in the vicinity (as if hitting with other body parts).
*Immediately charges the player right after.
*Right clicking the dragon's breath cloud with an empty bottle will turn in into dragon breath.
*It is used to transform splash potions into lingering potions
*Shoots special projectiles at the player called "ender acid".
*These produce a dragon breath cloud on impact and light the ground on fire.
*While on top of the portal arrows will bounce back and be set on fire.
*NBT tags can determine the dragon's phase.
*Its AI was changed:
*It sometimes returns to the center of the island to "perch" on top of the portal and shoot dragon breath.
*It charges right after.
*Defends the obsidian pillars more, the further the fight progresses.
*Flies back to the portal once it gets killed, to complete its animation.

End City



* Generates on the outer end islands.

** Dungeon-type structure fashioned like a branching tower made of endstone and many of the new blocks.

** Resembles a tree house.

* Generates with shulkers in it.



End ship

* It sometimes generates up in the air next to the end city dungeon.

* It always appears to sail form what appears to be a pier.

* Composed of many of the same materials.

* Generates with shulkers in it.

* Has a pumpkin, a dragon head, a brewing stand with potions of healing and other various loot.



Chorus trees

* Generate on the outer islands of the End.



* Tree-like arrangements of the new chorus plant and chorus flower blocks.
The whole structure is destroyed when the bottom-most block is destroyed, like cacti.
Can be farmed by planting the chorus fruit flowers that come from the top of the plants.
Unlike cacti, chorus plants do not require the supporting block to be below it, but rather adjacent.
This allows the structure to grow around obstacles, like other plants.

End Gateway Portal
* A small structure consisting of an end gateway block and two little bulbs of bedrock, at both the bottom and the top.

* It is an alternative way of traveling to the outer end islands without having to build or fly all the way over there.

*Since the bulbs of bedrock only leave a one block slit on the horizontal plane, it is only accessible by throwing enderpearls at it, or by riding pigs, boats or minecarts.



The player will get teleported to somewhere on the outer end islands.
The final location of the player depends on what angle the player entered or at what angle the enderpearl was thrown at.
One of them is created for each dragon kill.
Up to 20 are possible this way.
Placed in a radius around the end portal.
Another one is also created everytime the player uses it to teleport to a new location.
So both gateways are linked, and the player has a way back

Dragon head
While a player wears the head and moves, the head's mouth opens and closes repeatedly.
When powered with redstone while it's placed on solid block, the jaw starts to open and close.
It will keep the mouth position of the exact moment it was unpowered.
It generates on the bows of end ships

End gateway (block)
A portal block used to transport the player to the new outer regions of the end.
The destination of the teleport can be customized using NBT tags.
The player cannot use pick block or /give to obtain it.
It can only be set by using /setblock.
Naturally generates inside the end gateway structure after killing the dragon and traveling someplace new in the end with it.
Shows purple beacon beams when created and yellow beams when used.
Its texture does not get deformed due to perspective, but rather it displays the same texture as the end portal block on all its footprint, independent of angle.

End rod
Generates in the end city dungeons.
Placeable horizontally and vertically.
The model has a little base that is oriented against the block it was placed.
If it's placed on top of another rod, it will have the opposite orientation.
Produces white particles.
Used as a lighting source with the same brightness as torches.
Unlike torches, they are tangible.

End stone brick
Generates in the End city dungeons.
Can be crafted with 4 blocks of end stone.

Grass path
They are 15/16 of a block (15 pixels) high, just like soulsand.
Obtainable by right-clicking grass blocks with a shovel.
This drains the shovel's durability.
Its texture is very similar to that of grass.
Always drops dirt, even when using silk touch.
It isn't available in the creative inventory screen.
Pick block functions normally with it.

Purpur block
Generates in the End city dungeons.
Can be crafted with popped chorus fruit.

Purpur pillar
Generates in the End city dungeons.
Can be crafted with purpur slabs.

Purpur stairs
Generates in the End city dungeons.
Can be crafted with purpur blocks.

Purpur slab
Generates in the End city dungeons.
Can be crafted with purpur blocks.

Structure block
Only placable via /setblock, but unusable.
It has 4 different modes: save, load, corner and data.
It has an "S" on the texture in save mode, "L" in load mode, "C" in corner mode and "D" in data mode.
