Snapshot season is here again! 1.11.1 has its first (and possibly only) snapshot, which adds a few new goodies, and fixes a lot of bugs.
The holidays account for a few new additions (the fireworks in particular, for example), but more still are there just for fun!

Please report any and all bugs you find in Minecraft to bugs.mojang.com. If nobody reports a bug, it could cause a time paradox!
To get snapshots, open your launcher and press the "New Profile" button. Call it "snapshots" and check the box saying "Enable experimental development snapshots" and save. To switch to the normal version, you can select it in the dropdown at the bottom left corner of the launcher. Back up your world first or run the game on in a different folder (See the "new profile" dialog).
Snapshots can corrupt your world, please backup and/or run them in a different folder from your main worlds.
Cross-platform server jar: Minecraft server jar
Damage varies depending on how many firework stars the rocket has. Can be between around 1 1/2 hearts to like 8 1/2 from experience. I also believe the damage varies depending on how close to the firework you were, much like explosions.
Edit: To your other post; exploits reported are hidden to prevent further abuse with those exploits. Sure someone can figure it out themselves later on, but it drastically lowers the chance of the exploit being spread everywhere since that wouldn't be much fun.
????????????????????????????????????????????????//
Also, what exactly is the "Bed God Mode Exploit"? Jira decided to ban everyone from viewing the actual bug report like usual...
This is common behaviour. They don't let you see the exploit reports as there will be servers running older versions. If they'd left the report as public, people could reproduce the exploit on old servers.
Oh, OK. But can someone tell me what it actually does and how you can do it? Is it similar to this "GodMode" hack on a hacked cloent that can be activated on Vanilla Servers?
Also, a bug that wasn't an exploit was blocked from public viewing before.
That's the point of making it private. They don't want you to know, no matter your intentions.
It'll be hard to figure out and probably isn't worth it anyways.
As for the other bug, if you submit a bug report, you can make it private (Only you and mojang staff can see it) no matter how serious it is, so it's up to the poster to do that.
Oh. Also, I figured out how to do the bug, apparently is was used quite a bit on 2b2t for teleportation purposes, so they posted the entire exploit. Surprized that FitMC didn't post about this on YoyTube, considering that he usually posts all of the new Minecraft exploits.
Ok, never mind the huge wall of text, that was a teleportation exploit, not the bed one. This MIGHT be the BedGodMode exploit, though.
What's even the point of finding exploits if people are just going to use external mods to cheat the system anyways, why not just... Use the modified clients? Especially when they're as obvious as that, most likely granting you an instant ban right away.
I hope they don't nerf rocket-flying
I NEED TEH POWER
Well, flying in general is kinda endgame anyway... Not to mention how tough it is to come across a non-looted End Ship on most servers. Mods add jetpacks anyway, and firework rockets need blaze powder right? Blaze powder that could also be used to power a brewing stand and make Strength potions. I have yet to test it, but I can't really see it being too terribly OP... especially compared to using Punch bow trickery.
Edit: Ok, so the basic rockets you would probably use to do this trick only cost paper and gunpowder, and the speed boost is quite nice... It might be nerfed a bit, but I don't see them completely devaluing it anytime soon.
What is that red bird thing in the snapshot picture?
That is actually Grumm I believe.
Grum is in every screenshot, usually hidden somewhere. He was more...forward in this one.
Got my hopes up that birds might finally be added to the stock game. The mechanics are already there with bats.
Aww man, just last week I had stumbled across the awe and majesty that is mending infinity bow! xD
Now you're taking it away?
Fair 'nuf I suppose, it did make me pretty OP. :>
Villagers should sell Iron McNuggets.
Time to shoot fireworks sideways now! Roman Candles, anyone?
Iron apples

Still no chairs tho... XD
I dunno, I feel you should get more back from smelting some items. Like chestplates. They cost 8 ingots to make, yet you only get a single nugget back? Seems like it should be 1-2 ingots. I understand not getting all 8 ingots back, but only a nugget makes it hardly worth recycling old armor. At least it makes sense for tools only giving back a single nugget!
Rocket-powered flying sounds fun! I'll finally get a use for all that gunpowder I've collected my entire playthrough!
I suppose Mending+Infinity on a bow was pretty overpowered. I've been using it on my world. I've almost never needed to use my sword now. Wonder if it'll remove one of the enchantments if I update my game version?
