There will be a snapshot on the 28th, and this can be considered to be near-final. The next few updates will be small updates that focus on one area of the game.

The Curse System - This is a new form of enchant that allows the way an item works. The vanishing curse means it disappears on death, the binding curse means it cannot be taken off. These are designed for mapmakers, but these two have been put into survival as a proof of concept.

Observer Block - Basically a BUD switch, when a block changes (e.g. plant growth) it produces a signal.

Inter-End portals - These are portals dotted around the end that teleport you back to the middle island

Shulker Box - A chest that will keep its items when broken. Cannot be placed inside another shulker box, but not an ender chest

Treasure maps - New type of villager called a Cartographer, they sell you maps. One type of map leads you to an ocean monument, one to a woodland mansion.

Locate command - Creative mode, gives you the location of a dungeon e.g. nether fortress

Woodland Mansion - New generated structure. It’s very big. There are three mobs inside: Evoker, Vindicator, Vex

Totem of Undying - Hold it in your offhand, and it will save your life. When your health reaches zero, it applies a regeneration effect, and is consumed.

Llamas - Tamed like horses and you can put a chest on them, and they will move in herds

Spoiler

From what I can see, in the pictures, this is going to be an update focusing largely on survival. I love to see that llamas are going to be included into Minecraft, and I bet that players can ride them (since they have a saddle on their back). I also love that maps include clues to where generated structures are located. I don’t want to point out the additions that I saw from the pictures, as Octo will do that, in the morning. :slight_smile:

The wonderful Xisuma made a cut of the Minecon video of each of the features here.

I’m actually super pumped about this update, especially the woodland manors and llamas. Gotta give a hand to Mojang for this one.

Wow this update actually looks pretty cool. Packed full of survival shit though and not much creative :confused:

Llamas will be perfect for my Werner Herzog-style adventures in a blocky South America

I am ready to ride some lamas!!!

Wow… just… wow XD

It’s tomorrow Octo. WHY AREN’T YOU EXPLAINING THINGS YET?!

I like the new things they’ve added though, looks pretty cool. Shame college consumes my life.
