So, i've just updated my minecraft to 1.11, this update contains a whole lotta stuff, here's the list of the addition :
*Mobs:
-Illagers
some ill looking villagers. There are 2 types of illagers,they're Vindicator and Evoker. Vindicator holds and iron axe and will attack players and villagers, spawn in the Woodland Mansions.Evoker is a super witch type of thing that can spawn vexes and attacks with fangs, a pretty scary hostile mob i must say.
-Vex
Only could be spawned by Evoker, its a mini flying ghost looking thing and it holds an iron sword, its pretty hard to defeat i tell you that much.
-Llama
This mob is amazing, it could be equiped with carpets, chest and saddle, and you can leash up to 10 of them to make a form a caravan group
*Blocks
-Observer Blocks
Probably a game changer for some hardcore redstone dude, this block outputs an redstone signal when detects a block update.
-Shulker Box
Probably my favorite addition, its a chest type of thing, but keeps the items in it when you break it. I mean, its like an ender chest, but, it still pretty cool in my opinion lol. And you can craft this by putting a chest in the middle of your crafting grid and surround it with shulker shell (which is a drop when you kill a shulker)
*Items
-Totem of Undying
holding this in your hand will resurrect you upon taking lethal damage, it gives you absorption and health regen when actived, it a drop when killing a evoker.
-Exploration Map
Can only obtained through trading with a cartograper villagers, used to find an ocean monuments and the woodland mansion
*Enchants
Meh, nothing really to fancy in the new enchantments, its just Curse Of Binding that wont let you throw away the specific enchanted items but will drop if you die and curse of vanishing which will vanish the items with this enchantment when you die.
Those are the new additions, and i think it need more you know, like minecraft could use all the mods out there as reference. I think it'll be amazing if minecraft add something like 'chisel and bits' mod because that mod is awesome, and just add some machinery like the stuff in mekanism or ender io stuff.
So, what do you guys think? Is it a game changer update or just another boring minecraft update? And what do you really want to be added to minecraft in the next update possibly.

It's also worth mentioning all the shield buffing they did, as well as numerous bug fixes, most notably for me, getting stuck in a dirt block when it changes from farmland to regular dirt.

Also, for multiplayer, a big plus is going to be a character limit increase for chatting. Previously, I believe it was only 100 characters, but I think I read that they're going to raise it to 250. The shield buffing alone is enough for me to be hyped. It actually blocks explosion damage! NO MORE CREEPER DEATH RAIN IN RAVINES!!!

m0ssb3rg935 :  just read about that, the shield is kinda OP in this update isn't? I feel like pvp is going to be less fun with that 100% damage blocking :/ but yeah, at least the amount of death by sneaky creeper is going to be reduced lol

Why would they make it where you can't kill anyone by setting the shield at 100%? That seems very unfair.

Pokemonfan1000 : i think damage can only be dealt by mobs/players with weapon, so its not that we're immortal with shield, but i still think that its kinda too OP

Ah ok. It would be kind of crummy if you couldn't kill anyone. People would then start to leave if it were like that.

I'm not too impressed by the update honestly.

I don't expect any Minecraft updates to really change the game anymore. The last "major" update changed the game so much that nearly everything that was made previously to the 1.9 update is now unplayable in the new version of the game and anything made since feels kind of clunky.

Minecraft as a game is dying and unless they come up with something truly revolutionary it will continue to die off slowly.

geeogree : yeah, i agree. Ive played 1.11 for a bit now and i get bored already. Vanilla minecraft is dying, if there's no mods and stuff, the game is gonna be donzo imo.

skrt-lord : the only time I really enjoy "vanilla" is playing CTM maps because the game is challenging. Otherwise the game is simply too easy. I can kill the dragon and the wither on hardcore mode without too much effort. The game is needs something more to it in order to make it challenging on its own. Having to add mods to the game to make it interesting means the game itself isn't that good unfortunately. =/

geeogree : yep, exactly lol. Challenge is all i think i need in the next updates, or basically just give more stuff to play around with. I've watched a lot of minecraft content on youtube and come to a conclusion that if you play vanilla, and you suck at building and redstone, the game isn't entertaining to watch (and i assume the content creator won't enjoy playing it) cause its the rewarding feeling when you finish a redstone contraption or a massive build in your survival world that i think keeps the game interesting, otherwise, there's not much items to play with.
