I quite like it up here on my high horse. Makes me happy.

You don't even need to look up things to repair the Elytra. Experiment a bit.

Oh, my Elytra hit 1 durability, and its texture changed? That must mean there's some use for it. Maybe I can repair it? What material could I use to repair wings? Perhaps Leather? Leather would make sense, it's light, easy to work with, and could possibly be made into a wing. Let's try it!

Or alternatively, since the Elytra is a tool/piece of armor, and all tools and armor can be enchanted, you could see if it can be enchanted with anything. Hey, let's try a Unbreaking 3 book, or even that new Mending book! Shoot, I might even throw it in an enchanting table, just for giggles.

My high horse thinks that you enjoy jumping to conclusions rather than experimenting or researching.

 

Minecraft 1.9 Thoughts?

I'm sure a lot of people have gone onto a single player world to try out 1.9 and take a look at all the new items, but if you haven't you really really need to. I was originally against 1.9 for the pure fact that a lot of my time spent on Meepcraft was combat orientated and people made it sound as though 1.9 is the death of combat which it cerainly isn't, it is the death of PVP as we know it, but it looks as though its going to open up a new better PVP - anyway that's not what this thread is about. I just wanted to put out there that 1.9 is looking really good, especially the Elytra, I just had a play around with them, along with the shield and it looks amazing. Not to mention the end crystals - hopefully Meepcraft implements a plug in like the one that Ender Eggs have preventing them from being hit because they would make really really nice additions to fantasy builds and just to use as building blocks and decoration, we all know about all the cool stuff people come up with. I think I can safely safe for once that It's starting to look up for Minecraft, this is one of my favorite updates that it's had!

Anyway, I'm wondering what people think of the Elytra, Ender Crystals, Shield and all the different arrows, along with the rest of the update? I'm curious if people think Meepcraft should update, because I've read and been hearing that a lot of servers are opting out of it, Hypixel being the only one I know of that's making the leap.
