There are some news concerning Minecraft (wiki summary) 1.11 on MC forums:
While no set date for the upcoming version (1.11) has been set, a new snapshot is expected to go live this Wednesday, September 28th! In addition to the majestic llama, quite a bit of content is planned for the upcoming update, though it is not expected to have the same sheer volume of features as 1.10. The primary focus will be on Survival mode.

A few features of the new update have already shown themselves in snapshots over the last month, but a great deal of secrecy surrounded 1.11 until today, with a rather substantial amount of information being shown, or spoken about, at Minecon. The list is pretty big - read on!

Locate Command
  • syntax: /locate <StructureType> [x y z OR selector]
    • Locates the nearest structure, like EndCity or NetherFortress.
    • It will start the search at what the "x y z" or selector was set to
      • When finding structures similar to "temple" structures, it cannot differentiate between types. So you may get a desert or a jungle temple, for example
    • Pushes coordinates in chat for the executor of the command.
      • Will display "y" coordinates as (y?) for some structures
How it will impact AoD, RoF and LoP, ComputerGuy_, SirComputer and Ogarci?

Well in their defense it's still a testing snapshot or soon-to-be, they'll probably put something in that stops the enchanted ones from being shift-clicked into a furnace.

Hunger's less of a factor at least, outside of healing

This is how do you caravan:
You need saddled horses and few llamas (they can keep up with horses).
Leashed llama will be leader and other llamas with carpet will follow it.

minor snapshot 16w39b is released

Edit: The End has now return portals on generated islands.
Return portals send you back on End Spawn point.
On SMP it would have to be PvE zone to prevent camping.
So many possibilities with SMP/map making.

snapshot 16w44a is out.

First prerelease of 1.11 is out!


UPDATE 1.11 IS OUT!!

Ogarci ComputerGuy_ Wimali and Mulbery will have fun updating stuff now ;^)
First 2 weeks wait for 1.11 plugins :p

1.11.1 snapshot coming in.
No more infinity and mending bows.
Here we can see planned stuff for 1.11.1.
Reddit has some info about it.

Apparently you can be fighter jet.
Here is private civilian jet:

I made Primordian Sky Terror kit

Assuming all flyers will be limited to leather - by being deadly in air they shouldn't be too harmful on surface :p

I tested it - you need to have very good timing and aiming skills - its not like flying F16, its more flying WW I plane.
Can mages shoot in straight lines? It would be easier to fly and shoot like this ;)

Edit: Now extreme flying in Nether and safe-ish flying in The End is possible now.
Just keep eye on Elytra durability and amount of fireworks. Enderpearls are optional.
All you need is >5 block cliff and you can fly until you run out of elytra/fireworks.


Here is flight trough nether:

Flying trough lava isn't that bad ;)

If you want to gain massive altitude like one kilometer, then you need to use around 14 fireworks.
Just click on fireworks every 3 seconds (3 gunpowder and one paper is needed to create 3 second duration firework, you get them in pack of 3)

Update 1.11.2 is now official!
Can't wait for servers getting updated, so we can fly with elytra :D

Another snapshot - 17w46a.

Danni122112 how much damaging for SMP will be this commands rewrite?
Plugins not using vanilla commands shouldn't be affected, but if you included command blocks for dungeons or something else using vanilla commands, then it may get messy.
We are aware of the issue, discussed it amongst he admins, thanks anyway!

fun times announced for 1.14
  • "The Monster of the Night Skies"[sup][4][/sup], also known as "insomnia beast", new hostile flying mob "spawning at high altitudes. It is attracted to insomnia, and will find players who haven't slept for many days. It will swoop down in groups and bite your flesh."
https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Update_Aquatic
On servers no one sleeps, just set their spawn in bed ;^)
This means this mob will be no different from regular ones :p

Update 17w48a is out.

except that it may have Vex AI or similar, and it may or may not be a real threat to insomniac players.
here's hoping that they actually mean something for the first day (or longer), and that they maybe drop something useful.
