Splashes

• "Javalicious edition"

Internationalization

• New strings within the game were made available for internationalization:
  • World selection error messages,
  • Customized superflat preset names,
  • Spectator-mode-specific options and messages,
  • In the Options menu: the words "chunks" and "fps",
  • In item tooltips: the words "Color: ", "NBT: " and "Durability: ",
  • The  +  keybindings display text, and text associated with other actions,
  • Text associated with downloading resource packs from servers.

Cauldrons

• Washing dyed leather armor and dyed banners now removes 1 water level from the cauldron.

Spawn eggs

• Are now sorted by name in the Creative inventory.

Stacks

• There is no longer an item stack of 0 when using the drag function to craft items.

Creepers

• If a creeper is inflicted with a potion effect, its explosion causes a lingering effect of the potion.
• No longer drop music discs when killed by a stray or wither skeleton.^[3]

Husks

• Now try to avoid water.

Snow golems

• Now, when their pumpkin is sheared from their head, that is saved with the game (previously it was just an in-memory visual effect).

Skeleton trap horses

• The chance of spawning with a thunderstorm lightning strike is reduced to ¹⁄₅ of what it was.

Chickens

• Some pixels has been added under the head.

Exhaustion levels

Chat

• Some warnings now appear above the hotbar instead in the chat, like "Press [key] to dismount" had.
  • "You can only sleep at night"
  • "You may not rest now, there are monsters nearby"
  • "This bed is occupied"
  • "Height limit for building is 256 blocks"
  • "Unable to open. Loot not generated yet."

/give

• Now ignores item-specific stacking restrictions.^[4]

Block states

• Block states can now be used in the /execute, /fill, /setblock and /testforblock commands.
  • Examples:
    • /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:stone variant=granite instead of /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:stone 1
    • /setblock ~ ~ ~ wool color=blue instead of /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:wool 11
    • /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:planks variant=acacia instead of /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:planks 4
    • /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:birch_fence_gate facing=west,open=true

Resource packs

• The required pack version number was changed to "3" in pack.mcmeta.
  • Version 3 resource packs have to use lowercase filenames for everything.

Entity IDs, block entity IDs, block IDs and item IDs

• Now are no longer case sensitive.
  • Auto-completion puts in lowercase letters.

Entity and block entity IDs

• Use underscores to separate words, rather than using single words in mixed case.
• Optionally, a minecraft: namespace prefix can be used, just like block and item IDs. However, it is not optional for EntityTags and spawners.^[5]
• There are still old entity IDs in the language files (example: LavaSlime instead of magma_cube for the magma cube) and the new mobs in 1.11 have their ID with the old type (no underscores, capital letters for the beginning of the words. example: VindicationIllager instead of vindication_illager for the vindicator.)
• The following names have changed:

• Horse was split into entity IDs horse, donkey, mule, skeleton_horse and zombie_horse for their respective types.
• Skeleton was split into entity IDs skeleton, stray and wither_skeleton.
• Zombie was split into entity IDs zombie, zombie_villager and husk.
• Guardian was split into entity IDs guardian and elder_guardian.
• Unused savegame IDs Mob and Monster were removed, meaning that all references to the first mob added to the game called Mob, have been removed.

NBT format

• For all horses, HasReproduced, Type and Saddle tags are removed.
• ChestedHorse and Items tags now apply only to mule and donkey.
• SkeletonTrap and SkeletonTrapTime tags now apply only to skeleton_horse.
• Elder tag is removed from guardian and elder_guardian.
• ZombieType, and IsVillager tag is removed from all zombie types.
• ConversionTime and Profession tags now apply only to zombie_villager.
• SkeletonType tag is removed from all skeleton types.
• Pumpkin byte tag is added to snowman.

Loot tables

• Donkeys, mules, husks and zombie villagers now each draw from their own loot tables, rather than drawing from the horse and zombie loot tables, respectively.
