Pocket Edition 1.1.0

1.1, the first release of the Discovery Update, is a major update to Minecraft: Pocket Edition that was released on June 1, 2017. It added many new features primarily focused on exploration (similar to Java 1.11), such as woodland mansions, adventure mode and explorer maps, and some features of the Java's World of Color Update (Java 1.12) such as concrete and glazed terracotta. Other new features included new mobs, such as llama and vexes, the Marketplace, and a partially-implemented off-hand slot.

The update was also the last major update to be released under the name Pocket Edition – afterwards, beginning with 1.2 (Better Together Update), the name was revised to Bedrock Edition due to the cross-compatibility gameplay between other devices introduced in that update.
