Minecraft 1.17 : The Caves & Cliffs Update

Opposite for me, I like the focus on mining and the under ground making it more interesting.. Might have to learn what levels to optimize specific resources but other than that I welcome the more interesting things to discover.

Looks like they are iterating / polishing some of the features..

So much new stuff.. The move to a newer openGL is interesting.

That was one big slime at the end!

The update is being broken into two updates, however if you want in update 1 you can enable the update 2 features in advance which contain world generation...

HMMMMM

Interesting way to roll things out...

Hmm 3 possible paths forward?

1. Update the existing world with update 1 then do a world reset for update 2
2. Do a world reset install update 1 with the new world gen data pack and hope for the best
3. Do nothing till update 2 and do a world reset then.

The world gen is possibly the biggest change over all.. Not sure a world reset is worth it without getting the complete new world gen.

Is there any idea yet when any of these things may happen? I've been putting off playing until the new world is created.

Current estimate:

"The Minecraft Caves & Cliffs release date has been split, with the first part arriving Summer 2021 and the second set for the holiday season, for both the Windows 10 and Java Editions."

Hmm so a full update could be a long way off then...

Prerelease 1 for part one....

Still conflicted as to what to do about updating the server for this two parter...

Yeah I know what you mean. So much has been added but way more is yet to come. It's a real pickle!!
