The official name for the update, the Combat Update, was discovered on April 1, 2015, by Reddit user 3dDeters (and several others independently) who found a QR code hidden in the snow falling pattern of the April Fools 15w14a snapshot. This update overhauled the combat system, among other additions and changes.

The Combat Update is the name for Java Edition version 1.9, a major update released on Monday, February 29, 2016.

What about conscripting from villages? Make those free-loading Testificates useful to the non-traders amongst us, aside from being pieces of iron farms.For a guide about all the additions and changes in this update, see Java Edition guides/Combat Update. At which point, they could easily be replaced with a rail line for supplies & soldiers, just a touch cheaper for longer distances. But that would probably require setting pre-planned paths for them to simply follow like a mouse in a maze. Although it might be hilarious to watch ("Herpdy derp how i take off?. I can't see an AI handling a plane that well. Mass-produce/vat-breed the grunts, with players doing whatever takes more brains than is required to fill an eggcup.

It would be really nice, a fantastic thing.įor now, maybe Greg could add a plasmagun that uses plasmacells from Fusionreactor and causes lot of damage. There could be an addon that allowed us to create entire armies of soldiers, spies, pilots, whatever people is needed in a war, everything controlled by AI, following your orders.įor example, A multiblock machine that allows the training and creation of soldiers, armed with weapons you create through military industries.ĪI combats, different behavior with different weapons, different targets, better/lower effectiveness due terrain (biome).Īnyway, thats just an idea which would fit the industrial concept, but it needs an insane amount of work to make it reality (code-wise). The only problem about Minecraft is the lack of armies, aka enough players to create a real war. Really, I wish i could use all modern weapons, like automated guns and nuclear/biological/chemical warfare, causing devastation to everything! Currently, there is NO IC² addon that is intended to work only for weapons.
