Something else important. I imagined after waiting more than a year, " 2015 (was) the first year where a major update to Minecraft (wasnt) released" That 1.9 would be released almost imediatly in 2016.

Dumb ass Dinnerbone had stated in October "We are aiming to get Minecraft 1.9 feature complete at end of this month" So by my maths they are 3 months behind schedule.

Then jack ass Jeb says, "Minecraft 1.9 will not be released this year. We want to fix more bugs before release, and keep the game stable over the holidays"

SOOooo... As far as i can tell, it could be 3 days, or 3 months before we see a 1.9 release. Why do i say that? You may ask.... Well the 2ND snapshot of 2016 was released today. 16w03a[1] is the fiftieth snapshot released for 1.9.

MINECRAFT SNAPSHOT 16W03At

Yea, im remembering what a bug fest 1.7 & 1.8 were on release. It seems to my memory 1.6.4 ran so good for so long. Even though the calender says 1.8 is the longest running version. To be honest... We deserve this... Mincraft is the paramount example of a product produced and released by comity.

Nothing has been decided for 1.9 crafty won't make any decisions about what's happening until the jar file is released and in his possession. Then it's subject to stability and everything else that comes with an update. Only time will tell what happens.

RE: Jeb & Dinnerbone comments: I have no idea what Mojang's release terminology is but Feature Complete for me means the code has been written but only used in a relatively few vertical test cases and there is an awful lot system expression to discover and debugging to do to get it ready for First Customer Ship. Since the take over I bet the developers have been pounded on for the features that Microsoft management saw to justify the $2b price tag and that will all need hardening up before release. Given the anticipation in the market place the pressure that will be building up internally, short cuts will be taken and stability will be an issue to start with. Crafty is wise to treat with caution.

Bumped and stickied so people wont make new threads.

Well, I'm excited.
