Minecraft's latest big update is here, bringing along a bunch of new stuff to check out in the Pocket and Windows 10 Editions. Called the Discovery Update, version 1.1 of the game places a large emphasis on exploration with new enchantments, Woodland Mansions to discover, and, most importantly, llamas.
On top of all of the new discovery-related additions, this update also brings the Minecraft Marketplace to Pocket and Windows 10 Editions. In the Marketplace, you'll be able to find and download community-created pieces of content to check out.
Here's a look at what's new in the 1.1 update:
- Minecraft Marketplace

- Llamas
- Shulker Boxes
- Woodland Mansions
- Cartographer Villager & Exploration Maps
- Illagers (Evokers & Vindicators)
- Vex

- Dyeable beds (and you can jump on them, too!)
- Iron and Gold tools can now be smelted into Iron Nuggets and Gold Nuggets
- Adventure Mode
- New game rules: DoFireTick, DoMobSpawning, DoTileDrops, - MobGriefing, DoEntityDrops, KeepInventory, DoMobLoot, DoDaylightCycle
