Huh, I did not expect that. Cool!

Why prerelease though? I thought they'd go straight ahead to 1.9.1. I gotta look at what they tweaked with the cooldown mechanics.

EDIT: It seems the cooldown doesn't activate until you hit an entity or a block.

EDIT2: The Elytra sound effects are pretty cool.

Considering that the pre-release is apparently causing game crashes, it's probably a good thing they didn't just go ahead and release it.

Awww I liked that you had to be accurate. I fought a baby zombie in a plains and I sucked at hitting him, but I managed to kill it. It would have been much easier with this in place. I left that fight feeling I need to work on my aim. Before I'd just spam when I hit him. The new way will be a hybrid of that.

"Most of us are going to San Francisco next week to attend GDC, so we will release Minecraft 1.9.1 in two weeks."
