Axolotls ahoy!
Minecraft’s big new Caves & Cliffs update is just around the corner—or part of it is, anyway. Mojang announced previously that they’d decided tosplit Caves & Cliffs in two, rolling out a summer and winter release this year. The first part of that major update 1.17 is arriving next week on June 8th. It’s got neither caves nor cliffs in it, though. Most of the world generation stuff is coming this winter. Starting next week you can start officially playing with goats and axolotls and glow squid, oh my!

Here’s a good chunk of what’s coming in update 1.17, Mojang explain in theirCaves & Cliffs FAQ:
That’s quite a lot of new bits and bobs to play with already, honestly. The copper blocks alone are going to be a good time for us folks who like building. Nate’s already said he thinks thatcopper is the best new block. It oxidizes over time, going through several stages from natural copper color to totally green-tinted.
Minecraft worlds have ways of showing their age in subtler ways already, but the copper blocks seem like they’ll be a pretty neat way of seeing your builds change over time.
There’s all the new animal mods as well of course, but I don’t need to tell you why to be excited about those, do I? Axolotls can be carried in buckets and fight underwater baddies with you. Goats shove you off of mountains. Glow squid can be harvested to make glowing signs. More mobs means more fun, as ever.
Minecraft update 1.17 launches next Tuesday, June 8th. Caves & Cliffs part two 1.18 is expected this holiday season.
