14w11a is the seventeenth snapshot for Java Edition 1.8, released on March 13, 2014,[1] which adds endermites.

Additions

Mobs

Endermites

  • Appearance is similar to a silverfish's appearance, except they are purple and emit ender particles.
  • Endermen are hostile toward them.
  • Sometimes spawn in place of an enderman teleporting away.
  • Despawn after 2 minutes.
  • Spawn with a 5 percent chance when an ender pearl lands.

Changes

Blocks

General

  • Now internally use states instead of metadata.
  • Metadata will still be used for a while.
  • Block states of the block being looked at are now displayed on the debug screen - examples: redstone, door.
  • Internally, metadata no longer needs to be calculated out of the 4-bit data value, instead, the values of specified properties can now be easily gotten and set.

Block models

  • Converted fence gates, brewing stands.
  • Lighting now works with models (most models for some users).

Graphics

  • Dropped items now face the player in all three directions on fast graphics.

Fence gates

  • Show two holes in their item icon.

Mobs

Creepers, skeletons, witches, zombies, zombie pigmen

  • Now run away from exploding creepers.

Endermen

  • Walk slightly faster.

Silverfish

  • Occasionally stop before moving again (similar to most mobs).

Slime

  • Seem to jump a bit more randomly.

Non-mob entities

Minecarts

  • Changed minecart physics.
    • Minecarts now go faster and farther.
    • Improved collision and position handling.
    • Minecarts can derail at corners if going too fast, as well as refuse to go uphill.

Minecarts with furnaces

  • They now give a much greater boost to other minecarts.
  • When powered, they can move on non-powered rails without decelerating.

Minecart with TNT

  • Explosions no longer stack.

General

Debug screen

  • On the right hand side, a display shows up if you are looking at a block, giving various pieces of information and NBT data about it.
  • Looking at a door and redstone shows you the state of the block.
    • Door: which way it is facing, if it is open, which half you are looking at, if it is powered, and what side the hinge is.
    • Redstone: power direction (up, down, side, none) for all compass directions (north, south, east, west) and power level.
  • Not 100% complete, data for a lot of blocks still missing.

Fixes

6 issues fixed

Trivia

  • 14w11a was previously removed from the launcher for some time, but was added back in September 2018.
  • Endermites were said at this time that they "may have something to do with dragon eggs".[4]
