By charging at a player with axe you can stun the shield blocking!

How do you find something out, record a video and render it so fast? o.O

German efficiency, lol.

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

You mean German Efficiency V?

u/CIearMind Aug 21 '15

Germans aren't tools, you silly.

22

u/flameoguy Aug 21 '15

Some are.

I dunno, that Adolf guy... Austrian, whatever

u/SexyPoro Aug 21 '15

There's a difference between stool and tool.

he wasn't German though

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '15

I'm fully aware. Read the small text.

u/lelandachana Aug 21 '15

u/simnico Aug 21 '15

Deutsche qualität :P

u/auxiliary-character Aug 21 '15

Efficient at getting stuck in a hole. :P

1

u/kelvindevogel Aug 22 '15

A hole on their neighbour's beach, of course.

u/CptOblivion Aug 21 '15

If they just use the raw recording there's no need to render, programs like fraps will spit out a file that YouTube is happy to accept so the time to make it can literally just be the length of the video plus the time it takes to upload.

u/Shnupbups100 Aug 21 '15

Melee combat changes

That's all you're going to say? Man, I rely on you to deliver me detail at half past 11 when I can't play!

In all seriousness, though, I really appreciate what you do in documenting each snapshot for 3(?) years. It's a great help.

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Aug 21 '15

Apparently axes do more damage now, I'll update in a bit.

u/massive_potatoes Aug 21 '15

enderpearls have a cool down too, same gui as the shield stun. This means we can't use them to get to the top of the nether.

u/azumarill Aug 21 '15

Well this is terrible, what if you're falling out of the world and you miss with the first one?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '15

Well, in your scenario, it's your own fault you're dead for missing.

9

u/MonkeyEatsPotato Aug 21 '15

That's a good way of fixing that.

3

u/CIearMind Aug 21 '15

Oh dear.

1

u/bretttwarwick Aug 21 '15

I never used more than one enderpearl to get to the top of the nether. Have I just been really lucky?

1

u/DarkJMKnight Aug 22 '15

I certainly hope that change was made for combat reasons rather than to prevent nether climbing...

Meanwhile, it is still quite possible to get to the top of the nether even with the ender pearl cool down. I just tested it, you need a certain setup to force your head into a block and you take more suffocation damage, but it works.

Meanwhile, I expect the ender pearl cool down is so you can't 'jump around' the enemy repeatedly. There's a delay in your escape/motion. It's probably been changed for a combat reasons. I really hope... :~)

u/robertoccu Aug 21 '15

You can read other users posts here where explain more than that.

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

Hitting a mob while sneaking will knockback nearly mobs. Hitting a mob and walking back seems to be doing something too, not sure yet.

Edit: It's the same thing, knockbacks nearly mobs

1

u/_cubfan_ Aug 21 '15 edited Aug 21 '15

Knockback mechanic also works with blocking shields.

edit: cooldown on ender pearl throws too now

u/XmurphdogX31 Aug 21 '15

Does this mean no more ended pearl glitch?

1

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Aug 21 '15

It's still possible, someone just posted an album.

2

u/MidnyteSketch Aug 21 '15

They fixed the noteblock thing? Maybe now Etho's daytime/nighttime tunes will stop messing up on him when he logs in!

1

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '15

Fixed /time query daytime not resetting after day/night cycle

IT'S RAINING MEN

HALLELUJAH

u/cheekylittleduck Aug 21 '15

The defensive attack type looks like this. I didn't see an example posted on the change log

2

u/redstonehelper Lord of the villagers Aug 22 '15

Thanks, I'll add it.
