[Upcoming changes with the release of Minecraft 1.9. Where do we stand?]

Yet the enderdragon has those multiple endercrystals to regenerate himself and it's yet impossible to beat him while we can't do anything to destroy those endercrystals(+checked it last time that they updated it and covered those endercrystals around 6x6 with iron bars)

Well right now in 1.8 Axes, you need atleast 7 minimal critical attacks to kill a full protection4 set,

But with blocking using the diamond sword could need 8.5 approx critical attacks in order to kill...since almost 90% of people don't use the sword as their shield the 1.9 will arithmetically remove the enchanted golden apple since it is just a hella op with the resistance and replace it with the shield..in my opinion it is just no big differences at all..

Well the date wasn't confirmed but they said it will be released around 23rd of April.

Besides as what Anderson said to that it must be delayed for around like 2 weeks since the mcmmo plugin managers are under maintenance for the combat update.

[NeO Castle Competition (CLOSED)]

When there is no pvp competition other than building :')

[Hunger Games Arena Competition]

Hunger games would be really easy unless the chests shuffles in the map..or else remembering the coordinations on where the chests are kept will be a piece of cake :D

[Server Testing Mode Active!]

So everything that has been done right now will be restored back as it will be..hm not a problem to me.

But what about the player's status? will it affect? cause people are just killing others and it effects the status of the players so will that be also reseted to as it was?
