So, very early this morning Mojang officially released their latest major update 1.11 . Some of you may have already played around with it in the snapshots, some of you may be exploring it right now. Either way, I'm sure you're very keen to know when it's coming to Addstar MC. Hence this thread. I'll try to answer any and all questions about 1.11 (involving the server), and PLEASE make sure to keep ALL questions here, we don't want to be answering 50 people individually in-game. Hopefully these pre-answered questions will provide you with some info you're looking for. Or if you're unaware of anything about 1.11 and would like to learn more, please save your questions and visit the Minecraft Gampedia 1.11 page.
Frequently asked questions:
Q: WHEN IS IT COMING!?!!!?!??!?
Short answer: When we've finished shaping it to fit inside all the servers. So, basically as soon as possible.
Long answer: It will come to hub relatively quickly, and then we'll begin to roll out each server one by one (in no particular order) as we customize the update to fit each individual server. As of right now, we're still on pen and paper determining which new features may or may not allow things like griefing, thieving, and exploits. For example; in 1.11 vanilla, stray llamas will form a caravan behind a llama leashed by a player. This could be a form of stealing llamas, as it requires no physical interaction with the caravaning llamas.
Q: How come I can't connect to the server all of a sudden?
Short answer: You're likely using the wrong game version. You need to use Minecraft 1.10
Long answer: You might have your launcher settings to launch minecraft in the latest version of minecraft (which is now 1.11). Although you'll soon be able to join hub again, you won't be able to play on any servers till they are rolled out with 1.11. For now, you'd best downgrade your version as the red error message says. Here's a very handy thread put together by _Flaxen on How to update/downgrade minecraft. At 'Second step' you'll want to set your version to 1.10 since this is the latest version currently compatible with the server.
Q: Will I be able to find these new "Woodland Mansions"?
Short answer: No, but we're looking at ways of generating them in.
Long answer: Since worlds like survival and hardcore were generated fully in older versions of the game, there's no possible way to explore and find the woodland mansions. But we're looking at ways to generate them where they should be, if no claims are already present. So although you probably won't see any in the first few weeks/days. They should come eventually.
Q: Where can I find llamas?
Short answer: They should spawn naturally in savanna and extreme hills biomes. And we'll most likely introduce llama spawn eggs to loot tables like the rewards keys.
Long answer: We don't expect many llamas to spawn naturally in the savanna and extreme hills biomes, so your best bet would be to look out for people selling them, or collect as many rewards keys as possible. Keep in mind, llamas can be bred with hay bales if tamed. And make sure your llamas can't go for a wander, as it's not clear if we can prevent llama caravan thieves.
Q: What about a survival reset?
Short answer: No. It's not worth it.
Long answer: We'd only consider it if there was a big terrain update with new biomes. But still, we'd let the community have a big say in whether or not it happens. The last reset was when 1.7 came out, and since then there hasn't been any biome updates big enough to convince us.
Q: What about a hardcore reset?
Short answer: That's definatly an option, but we'd like to hear from you.
Long answer: Hardcore users would probably be much more accepting of a reset. Since most users are mentally prepared for a fresh start at any given time (if they die). Hardcore is smaller than survival, so there's not as much to say 'good bye' to. And with that in mind, the positives of a reset/fresh-start begin to outweigh the negatives. We're open to suggestions, and would appriciate feedback on this particular question. Would you guys like a hardcore reset?..
As always, keep in mind the admins are piled above their heads with things to do. But priorities come first, and this update is a priority. So please be patient and know that the admins want to bring this update out more than it may seem . <WHISPER> For now how about we thank the admins in advance!
