Mojang released the Minecraft 1.17 Caves & Cliffs update part 1 on June 8th, 2021. The update came out simultaneously for both Java and Bedrock edition so that no gamer has to wait to enjoy the new content of the update because of their platform.
The Caves & Cliffs update brings many new ores and items along with a couple of new mobs. Copper and deepslate are the new ores introduced in the update, and the textures of all other ores, including diamond and gold ores, have been changed so that players can quickly identify each one of them.
The Minecraft Bedrock edition can run on many different devices such as PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and mobile phones, whereas the Java edition only runs on PCs with Java installed.
