Java Edition 1.14

"For a long time villages have always been a very serene, peaceful place, except at night when zombies would come, and then it was anything but that. There's never been a group of adversaries that maybe had it out – or perhaps even felt jealousy – for the villager lifestyle. With villages and villagers getting a new fresh coat of paint, we felt that it was time for them to also get a new challenge, to balance out their luxurious lifestyles they'll be living."

- Cory Scheviak

1.14, the first release of Village & Pillage, is a major update to Java Edition released on April 23, 2019. It focuses mainly on villages, adding a new subset of illagers known as pillagers, and redesigns village architecture to match the biome it is located in. This update also introduces many new blocks and mobs, revamps the crafting system by moving some functionalities to different blocks, updates the taiga biome with foxes and sweet berries, and adds a new bamboo jungle biome along with bamboo and pandas. It is also the first major release to include the new textures of the Texture Update.

The update was originally revealed during the MINECON Earth 2018 livestream on September 29, 2018.

Trivia

 * Village & Pillage is the first update name to not have the word "Update" in its title.
 * 1.14 is the first update since Java Edition 1.9|1.9 to have a third minor revision (Java Edition 1.14.3|1.14.3); Java Edition 1.10|1.10 through Java Edition 1.13|1.13 only had two minor revisions.
 * Originally, the Update Aquatic was to be released as version 1.14, but this was changed to be released as Java Edition 1.13|1.13, due to the world generation overhaul taking longer than Mojang was hoping.
