Minecraft 1.11: The Ultimate Survival Guide

Hi everybody Cub here welcome to the ultimate Survival Guide for Minecraft 1000 update and in this update we have a couple new features some of which are important some of which are not but we’re going to cover every survival relevant feature in this minecraft 1.9 update so I went ahead and split the

Video into a couple different parts the first part will be the new blocks second part will be the structures and new mobs and the third part will be miscellaneous changes and other relevant survival changes also I’ll just note here that I also have other survival guides for previous versions of Minecraft which you

Can find in the playlist in the description below so without further ado let’s take a look at Minecraft 1.9 of the new block is the observer block you craft it with six cobblestone three on top and three on the bottom two redstone dust and then one other quartz

Just like so and that could see your observer block now when you place down the observer block you’ll notice that one side has sort of a back a little bit of red showing and the other side has sort of a face the face is the side of the observer block that actually does

The observing and what it observes is changes in block state on the Block in front of it so for instance if I put a block right here you’ll see that a redstone signal comes out of the backside of it and lights up this repeater and then this lamp so that is

How the observer works it basically observes changes in the block in front of it and some interesting things about observers you can chain the observers so that they sort of chain together and produce a signal elsewhere so right here for instance you can see that they also

Produce a one pixel at the current time so that they leave a block when powering a piston here and they also strongly power blocks and give out a signal strength of 15 as you can see right here the next new block will be taking a look

At is the shelter box and looks like this you can open up by right-clicking it and you see you have a space to store things in your shelter box now you might notice that these look kind of like the shelter mobs found in the end dungeon

Cities and that is for a good reason it’s because now if you go ahead and kill these shelters here go ahead and kill one of these guys here you should see we kill two of them at least one of them will drop a shelter shell so let’s

See if we can see this here they are go shelter Chell and use these Shoukry shells to actually craft up the shelter boxes and the recipe goes like this so you need to shelter shells so one on the top one on the bottom and a chest right

In the middle and there you go get your shelter box now these things are very versatile let’s take a look at what they can do so this shelter box is a very very useful item let me show you why so here I have a bunch of items in

This choker box inventory and normally with a typical chest if I broke this it would dump all the items out on the ground but as you can see here that is not the case the items did not drop on the ground and the shelter box has actually retained those items as you can

See in the tooltip here now if I go ahead and place this back down all the items are just as they were I can move stuff around I can add stuff to this and you will see that when I break it and place it back down all the

Items remain exactly as they were so that is very very useful allows you to carry a lot of items with you throughout the world shelter boxes come in all different colors so the way to basically color them is to just go ahead and grab a die get your shelter box place it in

The crafting table with your die of choice and voila you now have a different colored chunker box very nice very nice now there’s also a few other properties and shelter boxes you need to be aware of one is that they can be dispensed from dispensers here so here I

Have a button dispenser dispenses the shocker box right there on top of it and this does work in all four cardinal directions and then we have a piston piston is going to break this joker box but the shelter box will remain with the same contents inside as you can see here

So that’s the shelter box a very very useful item one of the things note about Joker boxes is that the hitbox of the shelter box itself changes from one block tall to one and a half blocks tall when you open it you can see this by the

Fact that I’m moving up and down while I’m opening and closing the shelter box and this is very important because it means that shulker boxes absolutely have to have a half a block gap above them to open this is unlike chests chessick you can have you know half slab or stairs

Above them choker boxes they won’t open if you have those things above them and same thing here with the half slab we put a half slide above there can’t open it you have to have this half block gap between the shelter box and the next closest block now we’re moving on

To the new structures and the new mobs so the new structure is actually what you see before you the woodland mansion it is a massive structure that spawns any roofed forest biome there are three layers to this the first two being much larger than the third layer and there

Are a couple of new mobs inside of here which we will take a look at in a minute but first let’s just go ahead and fly on through this thing just to give you a idea of the layout so you can see there’s big grand staircase in here and

There’s a ton of different rooms that can spawn in here I’ll just show you a few of them as we go around here and the sort of makeup of this is dark oak wood birch wood and some carpeting some red and white carpeting but there are quite

A different variety of rooms and a lot of different configurations that they can spawn in so quite a lot of possibilities for this woodland mansion eventually if you look around the woodland mansion you’ll find some of the new mobs these mobs are called the illah Jers and in particular this guy here is

Called The Vindicator and he is basically a defender of the mansion let me go ahead and go into survival and show you how he defends it us will go to game-mode 0 right here there we go so he’ll come after me now and I got to be

A little bit careful here I don’t die but there we go he’s gonna chase after me with an axe I can try to block it but he will critical hit me and stun my shield so I actually can’t block for a little while and then I have to

Basically retreat and these guys take quite a few hits see if I can just take them out there there we go yep and he does drop a X when he dies so there we go that is the Vindicator the first new mob you might see in the woodland

Mansions next up in the woodland mansions we have the Evoque er it looks like this you can tell he’s invoker because he has a golden outline to his robe and this guy is pretty nasty if we go ahead and fight him in survival let me just go ahead and switch to survival

Right here there we go you’ll see he summons in vexes which are these little ghost-like figures that sort of run around and are attacking me the vexes will turn red when they’re about to charge you and they are pretty easy to defeat but they’re also quick

And to move through blocks and yeah the evoker also spawns spikes that will try to kill you as well so he’s pretty nasty so that is the evoker and if you actually kill the evoker he drops a new item and that item is the totem of undying he can actually also drop

Emeralds sometimes but this totem of undying is a new item and let me show you what it does so the totem of undying what does it do basically it saves you from death so let’s say this zombie was about to slay me and I took enough damage to actually

Die there we go you see the animation there and totem of and dying has been activated and it’s given me some regeneration and some absorption for a few seconds which allows me to get away from what would have been death otherwise so that’s what the totem of

Undying does it does have to be held in the hand though so just be aware of that a couple of other things about these illegitimate a Killa Jers on sight as you can see here this guy’s chasing this villager and will not stop until either

This guy is slain or it gets out of range and there’s also an Easter Egg with those indicators so if we go ahead and spawn a Vindicator here named Johnny he will actually go after any mob within his vicinity so it doesn’t really matter what the mob is he’s going after it

Because he’s crazy Johnny a Volkers will also attack villagers on site by spawning in some vex just like so there we go so yeah they will attack the villagers as long as they are within range and also they have a hidden easter egg here if I go ahead and spawn in the Sheep

Diet blue you’ll see that the evoker changes the blue sheep to a red sheep also a quick note about these vex they don’t last forever eventually they start taking damage and die after a certain amount of time we also have two new types of villagers this update one is

The nitwit villager as you can see here this guy wears a green robe and does not have any trades despite the fact that we are right-clicking on him right now by the way you can also name villagers now simply by right-clicking on them with a nametag so that’s been made a lot

Easier and another new villager is this guy the cartographer so the cartographer has a couple of useful trades but the most useful of these trades are the explorer maps and these basically will help you to find ocean monuments and woodland mansions depending on which one

You get so I just go ahead and buy one from this guy here there we go we can take a look at what it looks like so here is the woodland Explorer map and that will indicator down there that little symbol actually indicates where the woodland mansion is now depending on

Where you’re at this might be very close or very far away but let’s go ahead and see if we can head there right now to see how this map sort of fills out all right guys so we made it and you’ll notice that my player icon is now much

Bigger than normal that means that you are close to the woodland management if that thing gets bigger and as we sort of you know explore more of the map more of it gets filled out you can see the icon was pretty much dead on and that the

Outlines of the watery areas we’re also essentially dead on so yeah very cool little exploration map that they now have and I expect them to maybe add this for more dungeons in the future the final numa of this update is llamas so llamas look like this and they come

In a couple different colors here here’s just a few of different colors they can come in and sizes that’s a baby llama right there and the llamas will spawn in extreme Hills biomes so you can tame wild llamas simply by right-clicking on them and writing them and whenever they

Become tamed you should see some hearts up here so hopefully we’ll see some hearts up here on this guy there we go yep so this guy is now tamed and once you have a tame llama there’s a couple different options you have so number one you can shift right-click now and open

Up this llama inventory and you can play some carpet in there to get some different llama saddle designs so this is the red version there’s also the bandit llama right there that’s my personal favorite I thought I would say and there’s also green and like I said

Every card has different designs so you can explore those for yourself and also you can put a chest on a llama just by right-clicking on it and there we go our chest is there once again you want to shift right click and now you see you have some slots to actually store stuff

In your your llama so that is pretty interesting one other thing of note is that you can open the in llama inventory if you simply ride the llama and press E so you can transfer stuff directly from your inventory to the llama inventory and you’ll also notice this llama only has

Six slots whereas the llama we rode up there had nine so that is due to the fact that different llamas had different strengths and depending on the strength of the llama you get more or less slots to store stuff in if you’re in survival mode llamas will

Use a spit attack to shoot you for about half-heart worth of damage and they do the same thing to wolves so you’ll see here they will chase the wolf and spit at the wolf to try to damage it you can also Bree llamas by simply right-clicking on them with the hay-bale

Just like so and there we go there’s a little baby llamas and finally although you can’t really control the direction of the llama while you’re on it you can control a bunch of llamas at once by putting a lead on one llama and then leading it through a pack of other

Tame llamas and you’ll see we got some llamas here queuing up to be part of this caravan so you can have like a llama caravan through your world which is pretty interesting so now onto some miscellaneous features that are present in survival minecraft now first of all

We have the increase in the chat length and you can see as I wrote here the chat length has been increased from 100 characters to 256 so you can type really really really really really ridiculously long messages in one go one small but very relevant change is that now as you

Can see here and gateways will now generate in the outer end islands so this naturally generated randomly and then outer end island and you can use these to get back to your original end island very easily all you have to do again is just throw a ender pearl

Through and you will spawn back at your original end island obsidian platform mapping and minecraft has also been updated to include the ability to map the end so that is a very neat feature there are two new enchantments in Minecraft 1.9 the first is the curse of

Binding this makes it so that you can’t actually remove any armor or things that your player is wearing so I actually can’t remove this time-in helmet right now the only way I can get rid of it is if it breaks or if I die and the curse

Of vanishing is the second one the curse of vanishing makes it so that if you die whatever has the curse of vanishing on it and will disappear with your death so let me just go ahead and demonstrate this here just go ahead and do slash kill command we will respawn nearby and

You see the binding helmet is still here and since I died it is now freed from me but the vanishing curse of vanishing sword is now gone and it is actually vanished so that’s actually pretty useful for PvP servers if you don’t want other players to get your diamond gear shields have

Now been buffed so they now block a hundred percent of all incoming melee damage and you’ll see we also do not get the wither effect from wither skeletons shields also now fully blocked creeper explosions so you see there I took no damage from that at all zombies on fire

Will no longer set the player on fire when attacking you with your shield activated Elder Guardians will now drop a wet sponge instead of a dry sponge guardians that now died due to fire will now drop cook fish instead of raw fish you can now place an Electra on an our stand

Fill our hit boxes have been changed that they more accurately reflect where the flower is and so you can now hit the flower and retrieve it with ease and also flower pots have been changed so you can not only put stuff into flower pots now but also take it back out

Blocks will now auto update one place next to redstone sources so friends if I go ahead and place a trapdoor down you see it automatically gets put in the open state rather than flat on the ground like that blaze will now take half a heart of damage from each splash

Water bottle that hits it and the same thing is true for Enderman also skeletal horses like the ones seen here are only one-fifth as common as they were previously you can now name a saddled pig with a name tag which you couldn’t do before if a creeper under the effective of

Potion explodes like this guy right here he will leave behind a cloud of lingering potion of the same effect also known in this update chickens now have a bottom neck texture amazing custom named items such as this chest here named Cubs treasure trove will now retain their

Names after being broken and you see their Cubs treasure trove does not stack with a normal chest and it also still retains the name even after being dropped and you can even drop it with other similar items and yeah you still see they are separate and the same thing

Applies to banners so for instance slide break this banner here retains its name and does not stack with the other banners as I said this applies to a bunch of other blocks like hoppers beacons and a bunch of others in Minecraft 1.7 you can now use the following items to smelt

Things you can use carpets wool bowls wooden buttons signs doors fishing rods ladders bows and boats and by the way the blocks on top of the furnaces represent the amount of items you get from smelting one of each particular item so for instance boats here I put a

Boat in here I will get two items out of this but if I put some carpet in here for instance I only get about a third of a block per carpet that we smell the exhaustion level of all activities in Minecraft including running jumping sprinting walking and swimming all have

Been decreased in the Minecraft 1.7 Update what this means is you’ll need less food to complete those activities successfully in 1.11 however the amount of exhaustion you get from regenerating health has been increased meaning you’ll need to eat more food to regenerate health in the new update in 1.11 you can

No longer store more than 24 mobs in a single spot so for instance here I have 24 skeletons in a single 1×1 space if I add a 25th one in minutes they all start to suffocate and die and yeah you’ll see as I continue to add more mobs one dies

For every one that falls in so that is a little bit of an issue for XP farms if you ever run one of those however that also means that you can set up item farms very very easily minecraft will now tell you if you’re too far away to

Sleep in a bed and also the warning appears above your hotbar as do other warnings instead of in the chat dispensers will now properly place boats so that the boat is facing outward from the dispenser and also you can now see your hunger bar when you’re driving a

Boat and also when you’re riding in the minecart finally the colors of the durability bar have changed it now goes through more of an orange and yellow phase before getting to red and also the background color of the durability bar has changed from clear to black shields will now keep their enchantments and

Their durability when crafted with banners you can now sneak on non-full blocks and not fall off you will no longer find which huts empty or abandon as the witch that spawns with the witch hut now has the ability to not de-spawn when you leave the area so that is the
