Additions

Items

Armor

• New armor attribute: generic.armorToughness, which includes a new formula for calculating damage:
  • 
  • Increased toughness means less armor defense point reduction from strong attacks.
  • Diamond armor has toughness 2, all other armor has toughness 0. A full set of diamond armor, therefore gives a toughness attribute of 8.

Elytra

• Added sound effects while gliding in the Elytra.
  • Sound event item.elytra.flying.

Fixes

13 issues fixed

From release versions older than 1.9

• MC-7961 – Hopper can't fill or empty a chest if the chest is blocked from opening.
• MC-56162 – Setting /worldborder damage amount 0 doesn't work.
• MC-95352 – Spatial target arguments c, dx, dy, dz behave unexpectedly and inconsistently.

From release version 1.9

• MC-90257 – A chain of command blocks may take more than 1 tick to traverse.
• MC-93074 – Summoned arrows can't be assigned a scoreboard value (too many arrows/spectral arrows cause command fail).
• MC-96219 – Block duplication bug with pistons (ghost blocks).
• MC-96927 – Selector c= targeting inaccurate entity position.
• MC-98327 – Elytra texture transparency issues.
• MC-98461 – Several languages (at least Frisian, Talossan, Ripuarian, Lojban, and LOLCAT) are not selectable, "Eesti (Eesti)" is listed as "Inglise (US)".
• MC-98587 – Command block logic sometimes fails arbitrarily.
• MC-99060 – Elytra glowing effect is always black.

Other fixes
