Minecraft 1.17 Caves & Cliffs update officially released
Best features
Many fans were waiting for the cute axolotls, and they are finally here. Axolotls are a new aquatic mob found naturally in waterlogged caves and dark areas of the ocean. Like wolves, axolotls are the underwater companions of ocean explorers.
Glow Squids, the winner of Mob Vote 2020, have also been added to Minecraft. Though they look similar to regular squids, these mobs drop glow ink sacs. Using glow ink sacs, players can create glow item frames and make text glow on signs.
The last new mob is the goat. Remember to be careful around these mischievous mobs. Out of nowhere, a goat can come and knock players when they're AFK. The good news is that goats only spawn in mountain biomes, so there is no need to be scared unless the player is in the mountains.
Other than the mobs, the 1.17 update features over 100 new items and blocks. Mojang has added amethyst geodes, copper, powdered snow, spyglass, deepslate, calcite, raw ores, and many more.
Download the update and check out all the new features of the Minecraft 1.17 update.
