Minecraft 1.9

Release 1.9 came out on February 29th, 2016. This update completely revamped the combat system. The most notable things from this update are shields, attack cooldowns and the difference in weapon damage (e.g, Axes).

Despite it being a decent update, it had killed the game for nearly 4 years, and had sparked a lot of debate in the community about whether it was better or worse than the previous combat system.

Although the debate has died down a lot with less people bringing it up for little to no reason, whenever it's brought up, many people make the argument that 1.9 Combat takes no skill, while 1.8 Combat takes no skill, despite both versions having completely different combat.

No resolution to these arguments are really made as both parties decide not to think about the information the person they're arguing with says, or the flaws they point out about their preferred combat version. It is one of, if not the most controversial update in Minecraft history, besides the Beta 1.8 update, which was disliked due to the game having a main objective rather than being an endless survival game.
