The Minecraft 1.17 Caves and Cliffs update is now in its final stages. As the launch date approaches, developers are continuously releasing pre-release versions.
Unlike snapshots, pre-releases entirely focus on bug fixing rather than introducing new features. The 1.17 update is going to be released on the 8th of June. Before the official launch, developers make sure that bugs and glitches related to new content (and old) are fixed.
Today, Mojang released the pre-release 4 for Minecraft Caves and Cliffs Part 1. Last week, Mojang officially announced the end of 1.17 snapshots, and with that, the first pre-release came out.
