Java Edition 1.11

1.11 is an upcoming major update to Minecraft with no set release date.

Snapshots are expected to begin the week of August 10, but no new features are expected to be revealed until the convention, which begins on September 24. Snapshots before then may contain bug fixes and improvements, which may be considered new features.

Planned additions
Spawn eggs
 * Eggs that were removed during the 1.10 snapshots will return, possibly in a future snapshot before MineCon.

Planned changes
Chat
 * Warnings like "You can only sleep at night" will appear above the hotbar, like "Press [key] to dismount" currently does.

Creepers
 * If a creeper is inflicted with a potion effect, its explosion will cause a lingering effect of the potion.

Unconfirmed features

 * will be able to specify block states.
