Minecraft wiki entry for Village_%26_Pillage, associated text: This is the first update to not have "Update" in its official name.
This is the first update to not be released for the Xbox 360 Edition, PlayStation 3 Edition, PlayStation Vita Edition, and Wii U Edition.
The pillagers were previously mentioned by Jeb in response to a suggestion posted on Reddit.[1]
The Village & Pillage trailer has a few game mechanics that were not introduced in 1.14. At 34 seconds into the video, the player throws a sword, and at 44 seconds, a villager with purple robes throws a blue version of redstone. The blue redstone was later confirmed to have been a rendering error.[2]
The official artwork for the Village & Pillage update shows a witch holding a potion with one hand, despite the fact that witch's arms are always folded like those of a villager.
On the China Edition, the title screen is the Village & Pillage artwork, but with an extra vex and Steve flying with elytra.
