Exploration Update



The Exploration Update is the name for Minecraft version 1.11, an upcoming major update with no set release date, though it is expected to be released in November.

The official name for the update, the Exploration Update, was revealed on September 24, 2016, during the Opening Ceremony at MineCon 2016. During the casual chat with Jens panel at Minecon, he suggested that the name "Expedition Update" was more suitable to the theme of the update compared to the "Exploration Update".
