This combat update, the 1.9.0, is an exclusive update. This update introduces a new creature: The Shulker. This block-like creature can shoot levitation beams at the player. There are also monuments in the End, that are End strongholds and cities. There are also plants in the End, the chorus plant. Eating its flower teleports the player to a random location. Reaching these special islands requires you to go through the floating black portal. This update also has metal bars surrounding some Ender Crystals of the Dragon. The dragon has a nest with its Dragon egg. When the dragon dies, it goes to the portal and explodes, activating the portal and allowing the player to go back home. This update also lets the player use the command block and monster spawner command. The update also contains shields, potion arrows, new enchantments, the elytra, which lets you fly, and new fruit. This update contains upgraded boats, which now two entities can ride in them and they are unbreakable.
