Game Tips

• Added hints for jumping, flying, sneaking, and how to use and place a crafting table.
• Added a hint on how to open the inventory on a touch device.

Edit world

• Added a Harcore [sic] switch. It cannot be toggled yet.

Mobs

• Added spawn categories, which will be used in the future for mob spawning.
  • Spawn categories have been enabled in entity behavior pack files, but are not yet functional.

/titleraw and /tellraw

• Updated to include support for rendering input key glyphs.

Graphical

• Increased maximum render distance to 36 for Xbox Series X|S consoles.

Shield

• Shields can now partially block damage dealt by guardians and elder guardians’ laser attack.

Wolf Armor

• Can now partially block damage dealt by guardians and elder guardians’ laser attack.
• Wolves wearing wolf armor now trigger post-hit damage immunity, preventing the item’s rapid destruction by continuous damage sources like lava, slimes, and magma cubes.
• Sounds have been updated.

API

• Moved EntityType and EntityTypes from beta to 1.11.0
• Released playMusic, Player.queueMusic, Player.stopMusic from beta to 1.11.0
• Removed BlockAreaSize from beta and replaced usages with Vector3.
• Renamed parameter itemCategory in getItemCooldown and player.startItemCooldown to cooldownCategory.

Heavy Core

• A mysterious, dense block which can be combined with a breeze rod to craft a mace.

Breeze Rod

• Dropped by the breeze.
• Can be crafted into 4 wind charges.
• Can be used with the heavy core to craft a mace.

Mace

• A new heavy weapon that can be crafted from a breeze rod and a heavy core.
• Using the weapon while falling can increase the damage output. The higher the player falls, the more damage is dealt.
  • This can be done by jumping towards the target and hitting them before the player hits the ground.
  • Successfully striking a target in this way will negate any damage accumulated from the fall, similar to how a wind charge works.
  • Other entities near the struck enemy will receive knockback.
• Can be repaired with breeze rods using an anvil.
• Players can use a mace in combination with wind charges to launch up and deliver devastating smash attacks on their enemies.

  • Only supports blocks as of now.
