Best 1.11 Servers

Minecraft 1.11, the Exploration Update, added woodland mansions, llamas, shulker boxes, totems of undying, observers, and cartographer villagers who sell exploration maps. The update focused on giving players reasons to explore further from spawn.

Woodland mansions are massive rare structures inhabited by illagers — hostile villager-like mobs including vindicators and evokers. The totem of undying, dropped by evokers, became one of the most valuable survival items as it prevents death once.

Shulker boxes revolutionized inventory management by acting as portable chests that keep their contents when broken. This single addition changed how players organized storage and traveled on servers.
