It seems that the hit sandbox video game "Minecraft" has a new and massive content update. The update — known as the "Exploration" Update 1.11 — is now available for both the PC and the Mac.

The "Minecraft" update introduces new animals such as llamas as well as new maps, locations, and adventures available for players in the hit game.

According to GameRant, "Minecraft" has been around for more than half a decade, and despite the amount of time, the game is still a big hit with players of all ages. As such, with its overwhelming popularity, the tech giant Microsoft bought the game's developer — Mojang — in order to collaborate on more updates for the hit title. 

The Exploration Update adds a lot of nifty new features to "Minecraft" that will make the game's exploration a lot more enjoyable and rewarding for avid players. The new features include a cartographer, as well as locations rife with treasure but littered with challenging obstacles. Llamas and Shulker boxes are also introduced in this update.

The Cartographer is an NPC found in Villages. The NPC will allow players to exchange their excess emeralds for a special map, one that has the markings of the nearby treasure caches in the area.

Woodland Mansions are new areas that have different rewards but are guarded by hostile Villagers that use weapons, traps, and even spells to keep the player from getting the Totem of Undying.

Also, according to the Gamers Drop, the new animal llama is quite similar to the horses in the game om terms of it being useful as a mount when equipped with a saddle. However, they can be outfitted with a chest that provides a means of portable storage, and putting a lead on one llama will attract nearby others, which gives the players the means of forming a good caravan or the useful creatures.

Finally, the Shulker Box can be destroyed in order to store items.
