The Minecraft 1.1 patch has arrived! The video from Hat films above covers the new features nicely quite nicely, and they've been listed over on the Mojang blog as well. 1.1 additions include better bows, a mysterious "Golden Apple recipe," different coloured eggs that can be used to spawn mobs and multiple language translations.

  • Bow Enchantments

  • Golden Apple recipe

  • New language translations.

  • Slightly smoothed color transitions between biomes

  • Reduced brewing time to 20 seconds

  • Added spawn eggs to creative (the colors of the eggs even look like the mobs)

  • Added world type options (currently only super-flat and default)

  • Removed collision box from ladders

  • Sheep eat grass and regain their wool
