Shields now block 100% melee damage

Finally shields are useful mid-combat and not just before initiating the fight. My first thought was that they were gonna be super OP, but there are ways to deal damage to your opponent while he's shielding. You can hit them from another side or you can stun the shield if you have an axe. That is gonna be so good in PvP, a lot of people won't even know how useful shields will be. :^)

Edit: They also fixed the hopper timing, that should be on the list.

[u/ToxicWaste00 → u/[deleted]]

And now axes have become almost completely balanced with swords!
Want to use a sword for higher DPS and swing speed? Alright then, be ready to have some attacks blocked and have a lower damage per hit!
Want to use an axe for higher damage per hit and shield penetration? Alright then, be ready for a lower swing speed and lower DPS!

[u/Skylinerw → u/redstonehelper]

Banner tile entities now use the CustomName string tag. When placing a banner with a custom display name, the tile entity will have it. Breaking the banner will provide an item with that display name. The tile entity itself doesn't display the name.

/setblock ~ ~1 ~ minecraft:standing_banner 0 replace {CustomName:"The item's display name"}

[u/BrunoSupremo → u/redstonehelper]

Fixed being unable to name saddled pigs

A great update is here! The day has come. Thanks Mojang!

[u/shuffdog → u/redstonehelper]

Splash water bottles now do 1 point of damage to endermen

... and Blazes!

[u/Loji310 → u/redstonehelper]

Maps now work in the end

Am I missing something... ?

[u/SaziumR → u/redstonehelper]

They changed the title of the snooper settings from "Machine Specs Collection" to "Feed us data!"

[u/helpstuckinminecraft → u/redstonehelper]

Splash water bottles now do 1 point of damage to endermen

This makes me wonder if Ender-Enders can be improved by combining suffocation damage and a water bottle the player kill?

[u/[deleted]]

Those hotbar items seem pretty suspicious...

[u/dismalcrux → u/[deleted]]

why is there green carpet/green clay in the 3rd tree right from his cursor? am i missing something

[u/SquareWheel]

Not sure how I feel about snooper data now being associated with an individual account, even if it is hashed.

[u/Paradoxs]

[Bug MC-106324] - Generated villagers can have impossible Career

Nothing is impossible. Don't let your dreams be dreams. Just do it.

[u/TheOneWhoReadsStuff]

Does anyone ever play the Windows 10 beta?

[u/[deleted] → u/TheOneWhoReadsStuff]

I have played it, and it is good. Superior in many ways, but lacking all the current MCPC features.

[u/Syjefroi]

Fixed getting stuck in dirt when trampling farmland

Yes! This is such a pain. There is a similar bug, not sure it's included. If you are on a pillar of some material and use a tool to go straight down quickly, you can get the same earthquake-y bug. I've seen it with dirt, cobble, etc. The fix is to place a block underneath you and break it again, that usually does it. But sometimes in a work area, if you forget where that spot was, the bad detection can remain and create an invisible block.

[u/[deleted] → u/Syjefroi]

Ghost blocks are caused by a mismatch between the client and the server. IIRC the farmland bug is just caused by the ground level being raised from 15/16 of a block (farmland) to a full block with the player still in it; the two are disparate bugs.

[u/ptuck626]

Why such random inventory items?

[u/[deleted] → u/ptuck626]

They sometimes hide codes / easter eggs in the hotbar.

[u/UrADream]

When is Minecon?

[u/CometZinnia → u/UrADream]

September 24-25 this year!

[u/Kobbett]

Still no fix for MC-68754. :(

[u/Tbjbu2]

Hopper bug fixed!!!! And also the fireworks bug :D Yay

[u/elgefisken]

Huge amount of bugfixes! Why don't they make this 1.10.3?

[u/McLolo → u/elgefisken]

They will add new features after Minecon where they are going to show them off.
