World generation
Chorus trees
- Generate on the outer islands of the End.
- Tree-like arrangements of the new chorus plant and chorus flower blocks.
- The whole structure is destroyed when the bottom-most block is destroyed, like cacti.
- Can be farmed by planting the chorus fruit flowers that come from the top of the plants, on top of endstone.
  - Unlike cacti, chorus plants do not require the supporting block to be below it, but rather adjacent.
    - This allows the structure to grow around obstacles, like other chorus trees.
The End
- Generates many islands in every direction from the main island, though separated by a gap of about 1,000 blocks.
  - Mini islands generate between the center and main islands.
  - End islands and mini end islands (except for the main one) will have chorus trees spread throughout them, as well as end cities with end ships.
End cities
- Generate on the new outer end islands.
- Dungeon-type structure fashioned like a branching tower made of endstone and many of the new blocks.
  - Resembles a tree house.
- Contains loot inside of chests.
- Generates with shulkers in it.
End gateways
- Generate in a radius around the main portal each time the dragon is killed.
  - Up to 20 gateways can be generated this way.
  - It is the usual way of traveling to the outer end islands, without having to build or fly all the way over there.
  - It consists of the gateway block in the middle and two little bulbs of bedrock on the top and bottom.
    - Since the bulbs of bedrock leave a one block slit on the horizontal plane, it is accessible only by throwing ender pearls at it, or by riding pigs, boats or minecarts.
    - When used, it generates another gateway at the player's destination.
      - The gateways are linked so the player has a way back.
End ship

  - Always appears to sail away from what appears to be a pier.
  - Composed of many of the same materials as the End City.
- Generates with shulkers in it.

Igloos
- Spawn randomly in ice plains and cold taiga (but not the Hills variant).
  - Spawning parameters are shared with desert temples, jungle temples, and witch huts: the fact of a structure spawn is decided, then the biome determines which structure (if any) is spawned.
- An igloo contains: 9 white carpets, 3 light gray carpets, 2 blocks of ice, a redstone torch, furnace, bed and a crafting table.
- Some igloos have a stone brick basement, with a cauldron, 2 red carpets, a brewing stand, 3 spruce stairs, a cobweb and loot chest, along with a villager priest and zombie villager priest in iron bars. A trapdoor with ladders leads down, into the mossy brick basement, cracked and stone brick also available, with 2 torches.

  - Silverfish spawn in some stone brick blocks.
Superflat
- New preset: The Void
  - Spawns the player on a stone platform. No other terrain generates.
  - The Void is now a biome with an ID of 127.
Gameplay
Combat
- New "attack strength" combat mechanic.
  - A meter shows up after switching items or attacking.
    - Damage done depends on the fullness of the meter, with a quadratic reduction (attack does 20%–100% of normal damage as the meter fills).
    - Fills at different rates depending on the new attack speed attribute (see table on the changes to gameplay section for a complete list).
      - The haste effect will cause the meter to fill faster
    - Can be displayed next to the hotbar (left or right based on the player's main hand), under the crosshair or turned off.
      - Looks like the icon for the strength effect on the side of the hotbar, or like a dagger under the crosshair.
      - This is controlled in video settings.
  - A cooldown animation is displayed of the tool slowly being lifted up, when first switching to it.
- Play sounds when attacked strongly, weakly, and parried.
Dual wielding
- Players can now use both hands to perform different actions using the left and right mouse buttons.
  - For example, if a player has a pickaxe in their main hand and a torch in their other hand, right clicking will place the torch.
    - This happens because a pickaxe lacks a right click use, and therefore the game tries to then treat the other item as if it's being right clicked.
      - The player cannot click both buttons at the same time.
  - This is achieved through an extra inventory slot called the "offhand" slot.
    - Pressing F (by default) will switch whatever item is selected in the hotbar with the item in the offhand (including no item).
    - The offhand slot is displayed next to the hotbar when it's not empty (left for right-hand players and vice versa).
    - It's available on all iterations of the inventory screen.
      - It is distinguished by an outline of a shield like symbol.
    - The player can hear an item switching sound, only for other players.
      - The player cannot hear their own items switching.
- Only the main hand can be used for physical attacks.
- Bows choose their arrow type based on the offhand.
  - Arrows in the offhand take priority over arrows in any other slot.
  - If there are multiple arrow types and none in the offhand or selected hotbar slot, the arrow that is in the lowest numbered slot will get fired.
- The offhand model is invisible in first person view while it's empty.
- Some attributes and enchantments will apply to the offhand item, if specified through a new tag.
Enchanting
- "Treasure" enchantments
  - Can be obtained only from chest loot, fishing, or trading for enchanted books.
- New "treasure" enchantment: Frost Walker
  - Turns water into meltable ice which decays in multiple stages.
    - Does not work on flowing water.
  - Different tiers:
    - Level I creates a circle of frosted ice around the player with a radius of 2 blocks.
    - Each additional level adds 1 to that radius.
      - Maximum radius is 16 blocks
        Levels over 14 don't increase the range
  - Will not turn water into frosted ice if an entity is in that spot.
  - The water must have an air block above in order to be turned into frosted ice.
  - Works as long as the player is with in one block above a block.
  - Cannot be combined with Depth Strider enchantment.
- New "treasure" enchantment: Mending
  - Any experience collected while holding the item repairs it instead of going to the experience bar.
    - Mainhand, offhand, and armor slots all count as held.
    - If multiple held items have the enchantment, one will be chosen at random for each experience orb collected.
    - Repairs at a rate of 2 durability per experience.
    - If the amount of repair needed is less than the value of the experience orb, the extra experience will go to the experience bar.
Status effects
- Glowing:
  - Received when players or mobs are hit by spectral arrows.
  - Makes player's outline glow, even through non-transparent blocks.
  - Listed as a negative effect because it prevents players from hiding from other players.
  - It becomes colored differently if the player is part of a team to match its team color.
- Levitation:
  - Received when the player or mobs is hit by shulker projectiles.
  - Makes player involuntarily float high into the air.
    - Can be used to get to higher places.
  - Listed as a negative effect due to the potential to kill from fall damage.
  - Higher levels of levitation result in faster floating.
    - Effect levels 128-254 result in floating downward at a constant speed, with level 128 being the fastest and level 254 the slowest (one block per second).
    - Effect level 255 disables falling and jumping altogether, to an effect not entirely unlike flying in creative mode. Gaining or losing elevation is impossible without using pistons.
- Luck and Bad Luck
  - Increases/Decreases the luck attribute by ±1 per level.
1.9, the first release of the Combat Update,^[1] is a major update to Minecraft(Java Edition) that was released on February 29, 2016.^[2] This update completely revamped combat by adding a timed attack system, dual wielding, spectral and tipped arrows, and shields.
