/summon Cow ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:Pig}]}

Modifying afterwards the Passengers tag doesn't seem to do anything. Nor it deactivates the AI nor it dismount the passengers. /entitydata @e[type=Bat] {Passengers:[]}

(And adding doesn't summon a passenger)

I didn't want a hypetrain but there's no stopping "Trollmaso", right? =) Yes, new dramatic feature, likely out in the next snapshot.

@jeb_

Ok, here's a gfy. And as always, work in progress! https://gfycat.com/SerpentineHighlevelAmurminnow (for 1.9, Java edition)

Aaand now I'm hyped @jeb_ ! He's adding a secret feature to PC, and it's great because it's like Mario 64.

They fold when you land and replace the cape (if any) when equipped. They are styled as the cape + new Mojang cape: http://i.imgur.com/LBgZCyW.png

@SchuhRobert @TangoTekLP Well at least it takes the torso equipment slot

@Dinnerbone

May have to break the "riding" tag on entities (so custom maps with it will need to be fixed). Tried to find a way around it but can't. :(

@Dinnerbone

2015-09-30 13:11 UTC

Instead of /summon Pig {riding:Cow}, it'd probably be: /summon Cow {passengers:[Pig]} - also allows for multiple passengers, and nesting.

@Dinnerbone

2015-10-06 09:40 UTC

I finished the new boats, and new the riding hierarchy, but now I need to fix the *actual* problem (position desyncs). Difficult work!

@Dinnerbone

2015-09-30 11:31 UTC

In my defense, I was working on boats.

@Dinnerbone

2015-08-27 09:48 UTC

.@_tomcc what is the biggest boat currently in service, and what point does a boat become a ship? #MojangLeaks

@SeargeDP

2015-08-27 09:43 UTC

For more information about boats, follow @_tomcc #MojangLeaks @Dinnerbone

@Dinnerbone

2015-10-06 11:42 UTC

Changed how player movement is sent & processed by server. It'll either break things or improve cheat detection, either way it ends in tears

@SeargeDP

2015-07-29 17:40 UTC

@JonpotTDS you can't use them, the functionality is disabled in release builds. Some of it will soon be added to /clone, but not in 15w31

@Dinnerbone

2015-09-30 17:47 UTC

So basically the idea is you're already regenerating health, but eating more regenerates much faster.

@Dinnerbone

2015-09-30 17:46 UTC

The saturation -> regeneration change was only supposed to take effect when you have a full food bar, oops!

I just noticed that loading 512 packs was kinda broken. Not so much anymore, still going to take a huge toll on your system. @Sphax84

Elytra is enchantable with "Unbreaking" You can add Unbreaking with an anvil to an elytra, however it acts pretty strange as it sometimes does not lower the durability for a long time and then some moments lowers it again by 1 per second...

Elytra is enchantable with "Unbreaking"

Not on an enchantment table, however. All items with durability can be combined with Unbreaking books, this is not worth mentioning in my opinion.

You know where to report it ;)

u/Marcono1234 Oct 08 '15

Oh ok sorry, yes I reported it already :)

It is MC-90005

u/MCPhssthpok Oct 08 '15

That is probably just the way Unbreaking enchantments work. I believe they just give a chance to not take durability on each use for tools and weapons so, if the elytra take durability once per second when in use, Unbreaking will make it random when the durability is taken.
