It's wednesday, my dudes! Todays snapshot marks The Village & Pillage update as, for the most part, feature complete. We're still planning to do a big polish pass, there may be some small features snuck in here or there, but ultimately it's bug fixing from here on out and we're hoping for a release quite soon!
CHANGES IN 19W11B
- Fixed bugs
Changes in 19w11a
- Lots of accessibility improvements!
- Added a new "Globe" banner pattern and item (Currently only accessible from commands or the creative inventory)
- Trading changes
- Added recipe for smithing and fletching table
- TNT and TNT minecart explosions now have 100% drop rate
Accessibility
- There's a new Accessibility menu which provides a useful place for all of our accessibility features to be toggled
- When the narrator is turned on, buttons will be narrated on focus
- Most screens allow tab and shift+tab navigation through buttons, edit boxes and other UI elements
- Most lists allow up/down arrow keys to navigate through them
- We've added a new option for turning up the background of all transparent text elements, which should help make them more readable for some people
Smithing table and Fletching table
- Smithing table is crafted with 4 planks + 2 iron ingots
- Fletching table is crafted with 4 planks + 2 flint
- Villagers use them as a work site
- We've decided not to add the functionality for these blocks for this update as we want to make sure that they're useful for the overall gameplay. We have a great idea for them for the next major themed update...
Trading Changes
- Lots of new trades have been added
- Villagers now level up in a new way
- The trading UI is updated (WIP)
- The trading prices now depend on your reputation and on demand
- The villagers will restock up to two times per day (if they can work at their work station!)
- Added visual trading; villagers will display the item they want to trade for your in-hand item
Villager Changes
- Villagers now have a daily schedule. They will for example go to work and meet up at the village bell
- Each villager will try to find their own bed and work station
- Each profession has a specific block that works as a work station for them (e.g. lectern for the librarian and cauldron for the leatherworker)
- Village detection is now based on beds, job sites and meeting points instead of doors
- Iron golems will spawn when enough villagers meet
