Swimming Bird – Minecraft 1.11 Snapshot: Durability Bar & Observer Changes, Llama Spit, Totem Fix, Elytra Sound

This video intended for educational purposes hey guys it’s Adam e ke swimming bird and welcome to a new snapshot for Minecraft one point 11 the exploration update this is 16w 41a bringing a handful of features and even a bit of controversy to talk about so if you have missed any of the major

Features of 1.11 please check out the links in the description to learn about llamas and Haunted woodland mansions and all that cool stuff we’re going to start today with item durability it is so much nicer now if you remember what it looked like before as your items would degrade

They would turn into kind of a gross yellow brown color is very tough to read because this backing bar was transparent but no longer it is much nicer now we have a vibrant range of colors here from green to yellow to orange to red and the

Back bar is a solid black so so much easier to tell especially at a glance how much durability you have left if you’re in the middle of combat or something now you can just kind of look down in the corner of your eye and see that your swords about to break and

You’re gonna die so so yeah just a nice quality of life change over here we’ve got some sound effects because the elytra wings now have their own sound event for when you equip them in the past they were just kind of lumped in with leather armor and as far as sounds

Go they still are lumped in with leather because they draw from those same sound effects as you can hear here so that’s just kind of a placeholder for now but that is still nice because just recently we had placeholders for wither skeletons and zombies and they got their own

Sounds for 1.11 so I have a feeling we’re gonna hear something unique when we put those wings on over here I’ve got an innocent armor stand these guys were being attacked by wither bosses as well as the John Eve indicators if you don’t know what that is definitely check out

Those snapshots we talked a lot about those last time so yeah because these are entities they were being targeted by some other entities but no longer they are safe now wolves dogs ocelots and cats and the like that we’re falling through the world mysteriously that should be fixed

As well the villager over here if you were to try to trade with these guys and you want to see their other trades you click these arrows they would previously make the disappointed sound the same sound as when you put emeralds in and take them out but now they’ll only you

Know just make a curious kind of mumble when you’re looking at their stuff and browsing their wares so that is nice it doesn’t make you feel bad for trying to look at what they have on offer so over here there’s some llamas there’s definitely a lot of llamas on this

Extreme Hills they’re spawning in all over now these guys were spawning in into solid blocks and suffocating before they ever got to join you in a giant llama Caravan train so no longer they should be alive when you find them and you won’t just you know find random

Leather scraps around so that is nice I know horses had that same problem in the past over here I’ve got some llama spit for you guys so you can now summon in llama spit because it is its own entity it’s a nice little projectile that they spit

Out and I’m just gonna summon a bunch of these globs it’s real gross with the spittle dripping down but there we go so now we can use them I’m sure some people are going to come up with some weird ideas with those and then over here I’ve got a left-handed Vindicator these guys

Can be left-handed just like zombies and in the last snapshot or the you know couple here when they were left-handed they were holding up their axe with with nothing they were just holding up their right arm and doing a weird gesture and holding their axe in their left hand

Just at their side so that has been fixed they will now hold the arm up that actually has the axe and John Eve indicators I wanted to use one of these guys to show you guys an example so if you in the past this is really useful

For me if you you’re not into commands this is still kind of nice because it’s gonna help people out that make things like adventure maps and stuff but in the past if you tried to teleport a bunch of entities or things or tried to kill a specific thing like Johnny this guy’s

Not Johnny yet but now if I named him Johnny he will die now in the past if you did that and that Johnny didn’t exist it would just kill everything in the world or it would just teleport everything because it didn’t have that little selector there but now it just gives you

This error so it won’t kill everything when you try to kill one specific named thing that is very very helpful and it’s going to make sure less devastation happens in worlds I definitely use that a lot for snapshots if I spawn in like a mob with no AI or in the dragon boy

Series as well I use that so down here I’ve got this totem of undying they did fix the bug where it wasn’t being consumed or destroyed that was funny in the last snapshot you could just live forever if he had one of these the max entity cramming game rule was off by one

They adjusted that zooming out of those exploration maps that I helped you find the woodland mansions and different you know things like that ocean monuments that was messing with the maps where they were just turning out blank if you would zoom them out and also if he

Copied them it would lose the structure pointer but now that has been fixed so you should be able to find those mysterious dungeons and things a little easier the wither skeletons when they were trying to spawn in the normal skeletons were kind of taking the place

Of a lot of them more than usual usually it’ll be you know like three wither skeletons and one normal skeleton but it was kind of the inverse but they have fixed that so wither skeletons aren’t as rare and then last but not least the controversy over here so before we get

Into this the developers specifically developer Grum has said that some of the changes to the observer box here are our bugs they’re not actually how it’s going to be in the full update so try not to freak out they did fix a bunch of things with it they also changed it where when

There’s a block update next to this thing it does make it where it sends out a signal of 15 redstone power so it’ll you can see this is a you know 15 here and it will power this lamp but over there that one is 16 so it’s not going

To power it far enough now the big issue with this is that you know if you wanted to extend a redstone signal you could just use a repeater but people were starting to use the observers and it’s like one one redstone output here as just a very compact way of detecting

Things for farms but because it has so much power now it’s not as useful for that but the way it was before we you know you can just throw that repeater down it could still have all that strength if you wanted it to so I I’m hoping the developers do change it

Back to just have a slight signal kind of like a trapped chest and things like that so I think that’s what they’re going to do as I mentioned they did say that some of the changes were bugs but there was a lot of people freaking out online they were mad that the observers

Were useless and broken but they should be more useful next time and speaking of next time we should be pretty close to the pre-release here Jeb the lead developer was in America for a while for Minecon and also you know hanging out going to Disneyland all that good stuff

But he has since returned the last few days he’s been back in Stockholm so he is ready to go and I think the pre-release will probably be ready here soon as well thank you guys so much for watching 1.11 is not far off definitely before the end of the month I’m thinking

But but should be soon either way please leave a like if you enjoyed this if you want to subscribe we’re definitely gonna have more minecraft in the future and I will see you guys then for that good bye Ah
