Earlier today Dinnerbone teased the eager masses with a 'meaningless' screenshot on Twitter.
https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/595224755126534144
Upon clicking the image, some of you may see nothing, or maybe get an error, but according to Reddit user /u/FiredPlayer, the image is actually a cleverly hidden hint at a 1.9 feature.
And what's the image, you wonder?

The image, when converted back to it's normal state, appears to be of new arrow types, and a quiver to hold them. The quiver appears to have its own slot, and there also appears to be another slot below the 2x2 crafting area, which appears to be a shield.
It appears Minecraft 1.9 is probably back on development pace again, and if Mojang plans on it, we might see a snapshot soon!
Edit: I also want to mention that the Quiver in the screenshot uses a texture that has been in the game since Indev.

"The picture posted is 2×204960. Dinnerbone split an 854×480 pixel image (usual dimension for screenshots) into 2 pixel wide strips, and put these strips vertically, creating a 2×204960 image. Some code converts it back into the original image..."

ReplyDeleteFinally! This has been a long time coming.
ReplyDeleteUm... The shield slot is to the LEFT not right
ReplyDeleteI you consider that you are the your player in the upper left (or in the players case right) then the shild is on the right side. its confusing! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's more in the middle... You could also say under the crafting interface?
ReplyDelete:)
Interesting. Probably won't be able to spam arrows anymore, gonna have to load them into the quiver.
ReplyDeleteFixed! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLooks cool but the shield could be bad if it's implemented wrong it could be a game breaker however this is dinnerbone and we thought the same about slime blocks hopefully it'll be fine =-)
ReplyDeleteHow fast does the community decode these messages?
ReplyDeleteI mean first the hidden QR code in the april fools update and then this, Dinnerbone sure has to make these harder...
You can also see the quiver on his back!
