Many Minecraft players opt to upgrade the look of vanilla Minecraft with mods, texture packs, and resource packs. The Minecraft 1.17 update introduced many new things into the game and changed how a lot of Minecraft elements previously looked.
Luckily, plenty of resource packs have also been updated for the 1.17 Minecraft update. Considering the new Caves & Cliffs updates in mind, here are some of the best resource packs gamers can use in Minecraft 1.17.

Gamers looking for a high definition resource pack that doesn’t deviate too much from vanilla Minecraft but still gives the feeling of an upgrade might want to check out Fresh Animations.
It will surely be interesting to see how the new fan favorite 1.17 mobs like the glow squid or the axolotl appear under this resource pack.

Considering the 1.17 update, the dark interface will likely compliment the new deepslate blocks well. It will also help important items stand out amongst the rest in chests and inventory slots given the dark background.
