Mojang dropped one of the most exciting Minecraft updates of 2021 on June 8th. With lots of expectations before the release, Minecrafters were disappointed because the developer divided the update into two parts. They held back the cave biomes and cliff changes for the Caves & Cliffs update part 2.

Even though the most exciting thing about the Caves & Cliffs update was not even the part of its first half, Minecraft version 1.17 adds many interesting features and items. Three new mobs have also been introduced to the game, along with these additions: axolotls, goats, and glow squid.
