Insane Minecraft 1.11 Snapshot: Vex Power-up, Evoker Spell, and Deadly Arrows!

Hey guys it’s Anna make a swimming bird and welcome to a new snapshot for Minecraft one point 11 the exploration update this is 16 w 42 a bringing a handful of changes this week as we get closer and closer to the full release but still some interesting stuff to

Cover and important features including a buff to our new creepy little friends the vexes so let’s get into it now first off arrows have a critical hit tag as you can see crit and when you summon them in this way they will have that trail of particles just like when you

Fully charge your bow denoting that they’re going to do more damage so this is probably not too useful to most players but if you’re a map maker or a minigame creator I’m sure you’ll find a nice way to use these more deadly arrows but the vexes are the real stars this

Week they have received a major damage buff just like The Vindicator ‘s before them and I’m thinking the Evo crews here are next in line to get a buff before the the full release so vexes in previous snapshots they only did one and a half hearts of damage on easy to

Hearts of damage on normal and three hearts of damage on hard and that’s not even factoring in defense points of armor and toughness on Diamond armor so it made them kind of just like annoyances that phased in and out of the walls and bit you like mosquitoes with

Their little swords not doing much damage of course the the new woodland mansion dungeon is supposed to be an endgame challenge but a lot of players in the early snapshots found it too easy so that’s why they’re buffing a lot of this stuff and they want it you know

It’s hard to find one of these obviously two so you want it to be worth your while not just in terms of loot but also in terms of challenge so The Vindicator ‘s they do that nine and a half parts of damage to you on on Hard difficulty now

Meaning they can almost one-shot you if you have no armor so they’re a lot tougher and the vexes have followed suit they now do two and a half hearts of damage on easy four and a half hearts on normal and seven and a half on heart so

Not quite as tough as The Vindicator ‘s but of course these guys are going to be summoned in in groups of three or so so they are gonna fly in and out and make it very tough to hit them they’re going all over the place and doing a good

Amount of damage now so I’m excited did that they’re even creepier than they were before with their ghostly horse whinny noise that they make that’s very spooky so one little nerf that they did receive though there was a buff or a bug in the previous snapshots where if he

Had a thorns enchantment on and the vexes hit you they wouldn’t take any thorns damage but now they properly do so that’s nice that they changed that and yeah I definitely want to see the evoke er at least get an HP buff because these guys have powerful attacks

Obviously but they only take a handful of hits and just kind of run around making them easy targets and then you very easily get the new totem of undying which is one of the main reasons to go to the woodland mansion and I did see people see people throwing around

Thoughts about how maybe because the totems are kind of tough to find you can only get a couple per these rare dungeons maybe they should be rechargeable like you could put gold or some type of material that isn’t used that much into them to recharge them I’d

Like to see that as well and another big change that I want to mention too that I would like to see and a lot of people have been talking about this recently is the elytra wings they are kind of uh kind of limited because you can’t really

Boost with them unless you do some of the little tricks people have done with punch arrows to knock you farther up into the air and there was a really cool gift of somebody fighting a gas that way that lead developer Jeb did post so I think he might be thinking about eletric

Boosting but anyways back to the snapshot I just wanted to talked about a few things that I think might get changed before 1.11 comes out but the the observer blocks if you’re curious about all the changes to the observer bought blocks and the bugs that they’re working on no big changes this week

Really I think they’re still ironing that stuff out and they want to make sure the redstone people are happy or you know anyone who’s going to use the observers obviously they need to be useful and unique from just the normal buds that we have in the game so I think

They’re still tweaking those to try to make them nice and and ready to go but a few bug fixes that I want to mention witches that spawn in their huts they were not being persistent and now they will stay stick around just like the villagers in the normal villages they

Won’t D spawn so that is a nice change and then the Maps after you made them in the end or brought them into the end if you left the end they would break for whatever reason but that’s been fixed and last but not least the skeletons and wither

Skeletons in the end they were they were or the the nether rather they were spawning all over the place so you could find them wherever that definitely made the nether a bit scarier but they’re meant to be a challenge that you would see when you go to the fortress so that

Has been fixed as well but making the nether a little bit safer buddy stuff to deal with gas and everything obviously okay so that’s mostly it for this week just a bunch of bug fixes and a few minor changes but I can tell that there they are they’ve been you know

Commenting the developers have on the observer blocks and how they’re working on those so we’ll probably at least see that before the pre-release and hopefully a nice buff to the Evo kurz I really would like to see the woodland mansion a big challenge and if you want

The easy way of course you can just burn it down because it is made of wood thank you guys for watching please leave a like if you enjoyed this if you’d like to subscribe we will have more minecraft on the way in the future and I’ll see you guys then goodbye
