Minecraft Snapshot 18w11a

It's a super sneaky snapshot day! The Minecraft Java team is travelling to GDC soon, so this will be the last snapshot for a couple of weeks.

Changes in 18w11a

• Added shipwrecks!
• Added a new hostile mob: The Drowned!
• Added coral fans!
• Added F3+C to copy your current location to clipboard

Coral fans

We were big fans of coral, so we couldn't resist.

• Doesn't spawn naturally yet
• You can place it on the side of coral!

Drowned

They're called "drowned" for a reason!

• Spawn in all oceans! And rivers too!
• Zombies will also become drowned after, well, drowning
• Drowned can spawn with tridents, allowing you to get them in survival
• Their loot isn't final - there's a super secret item coming soon
• They can swim but they prefer to walk
• Gurgle.
• All drowned have a melee attack, and ones with tridents have a ranged attack
• Like zombies, drowned don't really like turtles that much

Shipwrecks

• Can be found in oceans and beaches
• Has 3 different type of loot depending on the ship!
• May spawn with some air pockets, that's a known bug. Sorry!
