What the 1.11 Exploration Update brought
1.11 was released on November 14, 2016. Her theme is long-range trips. A mapmaker in the village sells maps of a researcher: they lead to an underwater fortress or a forest mansion, a huge house in the middle of a dark forest.
There are axes and callers in the mansion. The caller lifts his fangs from the ground, calls for harm, and then drops the totem of immortality after death.
As early as 1.11, llamas appeared, walking in the caravan and spitting, shawler boxes, watchers, iron numbs, and two curses — inevitability and loss. The last version of the branch was 1.11.2, released on December 21, 2016.
Why 1.11 is important for servers
Two of the 1.11 things changed the game on the servers forever. The shell box does not lose anything when it breaks -- it's a chest in its pocket, moving with it and going camping. The totem of immortality changed the PvP: it is held in its second hand, and the fight goes until the rival runs out of totems.
1.11 has few of its own servers: seven months later 1.12 was released. Usually 1.11 is included in the range of the server with ViaVersion - for example, "1.8–1.21".
Check the server's own version, usually written in a description. There are no 1.8 totems and shulker boxes on the core, even if you went with 1.11.2. If the core is newer, client 1.11 will release ViaBackwards.
How to select a server and log in
Open the server page: it’s online now, the chart for the day and week, peak, record and uptime by day for 90 days. Online monitoring measures itself using ping. The version and platform filters will narrow the list.
You can download 1.11.2 in the official Luncher or JuxLauncher. Press Copy Address, open "Net Game" to add a server and put an address. Details are on "How to Go".
Vote for the server - once a day. He raises the server in the “By Votes” tab, and some servers give a reward for him in the game by nickname.
