The Minecraft 1.17 Caves & Cliffs update was released by Mojang after dividing the update into two parts. The first part does not include the major cave biomes and cliff changes, but it does have a lot of content to enjoy for the players.
The first part of the Caves & Cliffs update brings cute and mischievous mobs like the axolotl, glow squid,and goat along with new items and ores such as spyglass, copper and deepslate. Some new features have also been added, like players being able to place underwater rails.
The upcoming Minecraft 1.18 update will also bring a new scary mob called the Warden. The Warden is the first-ever blind mob in Minecraft made up of sculk sensors that are another new block which will come in the update later this year.
The 1.17 Caves & Cliffs update is now available to download, and this article focuses on teaching the players how to update Minecraft from 1.16 to 1.17 on Java Edition.
