While we sit here and twiddel out thumbs waiting for Mojang to officially release 1.9.3, we figured it would be a good time to officially release our first recomended build for the 1.9.x familyu of Minecraft.

This is for version 1.9 specifically (AKA: 1.9.0). It comes with a lot of new bug fixes, tons of performance enchancements and all new combat mechanics whoo!!!!

Once 1.9.3 is officially dropped, we will immediatly be updating. And most likely pushing out a RB within the week. So get to testin and get to reportin.

The hope with this RB is to get modders to start taking 1.9 seriously and update. There is A LOT of cool stuff for them to play with!

Major New Feature:

Keybinding Modifiers

Modified the configuration options to allow usage of the CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT modifiers in keybinds. Allows for more combinations with controls.

This has been neede with the ever growing mod community that adds more and more hot keys.

Java Version Nag:

Alright guys, nobody likes nags, but this is needed. People NEED to start updating to Java 8.

There are MAJOR secuirty issues with Java 7 and 6.

Not to mention the major performance increases, as well as awesome new tools modders are using more and more often.

The new system will show a nag screen once every 24 hours.

This CAN be disabled using the forge.cfg file. However it's recomended that the user just update their java.

It will also put a nag in the main menu.

If any mods are detected to require Java 8, the game will display a graceful screen before exiting.
