Java Edition 1.11

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

Snapshots are expected to begin on August 10, 2016, but no new features are expected to be revealed until MineCon 2016, which begins on September 24, 2016. 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.


 * Hunger
 * Decay rate will decrease for all actions except healing.

Unconfirmed features

 * will be able to specify block states.
