1.21.11 Update - Mounts of Mayhem

Discussion in 'Empire Updates' started by chickeneer, Dec 30, 2025.

  1. Tonight EMC has updated to Minecraft Java version 1.21.11! The main new changes are the addition of the rideable mob Nautilus! You can see what changed in the base game on the minecraft wiki: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_1.21.11

    I have several notes about the update. First, I am setting a waste reset date of one month from today - so January 30th. I will put up another thread this week restating this.

    As always, please immediately report bugs to me in-game or on the forums at https://pmdev.emc.gs/ Thank you! Enjoy the update!
    First note on the mojang side. They have announced new update numberings. The next update will be 26.1. So no 1.22, sorry to bear that news if you had not heard yet.

    Next up is a list of EMC specific things we did as part of this update.
    • Added shop sign name handlings for the new items - such as Nautilus Armor, Netherite Horse Amor, and the new spawn eggs.
    • Added the Nautilus and Camel Husk to eggifiable entities.
    • Nautilus eggification does not currently store any special data, but will kick off armor/saddle just like horses/pigs/etc.
    • Renamed the /horse command to /mount to give information about Nautilus. I will note that currently the /stable still only supports Horse related mobs.
    • The horse residence flag has been renamed to the mount flag. There is still a horse flag as a subflag of the mount flag.
    • Do not allow you to place armor/saddles on horses that you don't have build flag or own.
    • Adjust the partial name lookup in /tell messages. Specifically that /tell will no longer check name history. But also will not account for people that have been offline quite a while.
    • There are still not new mob heads. This is a project needing some work by someone. Moople has done it in the past - but others could help if they wanted.
    I cannot think of anything else right now. Report any bugs that you notice.
    Spears are new! To be honest, I don't think I did any special coding with them. /shrug

  4. Sent out some bug fixings. Updating post to remove my original waffling about bugs existing at time of the original deploy.

    Thanks for that... (I have fixed my post) I just typed out this year, instead of remembering that it is a new year in just a couple days time. haha.

  7. Thank you for the update!

    I saw my first nautilus last night. I was picturing it being about the size of a happy ghast. How is that little thing going to carry me around?

  9. I have released a new years firework promo: /promo 2026 to celebrate the new year. I am with family today and have something else I want to create and release. I will create a thread with this promo information at that time. Have a great 2026 y'all!
