There is a guide for this update!

See Java Edition guides/Caves & Cliffs: Part I for a guide to all of the new features introduced in Caves & Cliffs: Part I.

1.17, the first release of Caves & Cliffs, is a major update to Java Edition announced at Minecraft Live 2020^[1] and released on June 8, 2021.^[2]

On April 14, 2021, Mojang Studios announced that the update would be split into two updates due to the amount and complexity of content, as well as team health.^[3] Multiple features such as revamped mountain and cave generation, and increased world height were removed in 21w15a, and were subsequently released in 1.18.^[4] A data pack was included in the Minecraft.net article for 21w15a that re-enabled the removed features, and subsequent snapshots updated this data pack.

Additions

1.17 block and item additions

Blocks

Amethyst bud

Grows from budding amethyst, which is found in amethyst geodes.
Starts out tiny, but grows into medium after a while, large after even more time, and eventually becomes an amethyst cluster.
Unlike crops, each growth stage is a separate block instead of a block state.
Drops only when mined with a Silk Touch pickaxe.

Amethyst cluster

The final, mature stage of the amethyst bud, which grows from budding amethyst in amethyst geodes.
Drops amethyst shards if broken, in an amount affected by Fortune, but can also be picked up with Silk Touch.
- Breaking by hand, piston, breaking the support block or other means drops only 2 amethyst shards instead of 4 that would be dropped by using any pickaxe.
Emits a light level of 5.

Azalea

Has variants with either no blossoms or pink blossoms.
Bush-like blocks that can be planted on dirt and grass blocks.
Both azaleas can grow from moss blocks when bone meal is used on them.
The variant with pink blossoms is seen as small flowers by the game (for example, bees can pollinate them).

- Yellow particles are formed when waxing the block.
Axes can be used to scrape off wax and oxidation (one stage at a time).
- White particles are formed when scraping off wax from the block.
Lightning may clean oxidation, reverting the oxidation process by one or several stages.
- Chances of cleaning and number of reverted stages are higher the closer to the struck block.
Can be crafted into cut copper.
There are 8 variants in total.

- These recipes can be unlocked in the recipe book with deepslate ores as well.

Dripleaf

Allows an entity to stay on it for 1.5 seconds (30 ticks) before the entity falls through it.
- The tilt happens in 3 stages: unstable, partial, and full. These can be seen in the F3 debug menu.
  - All the stages are solid except the full stage, which is when the player falls through.
  - When nobody is standing on it, it is set to none stage.
- The tilt can also be triggered by hitting the plant with a projectile.
- The tilt can be prevented by powering it with redstone, but hitting it with a projectile still causes it to tilt.
Comes in two sizes: small and big. Small can be applied bone meal to grow into big.
- Small dripleaf can be obtained only with shears (otherwise breaks) and can be planted on clay or moss blocks, or underwater on clay and dirt blocks.
- Big dripleaf can be obtained with any tool or by hand and can be planted on grass, dirt, and moss blocks.
Both sizes can be found inside lush caves, which can currently only be accessed through the single biome, caves, or floating islands world types.
- It is available in Survival through the wandering trader.

Dripstone block

A decoration block.
Appears to be made of the same materials as stalactites and stalagmites but as a full cube.
Generates mainly in the dripstone caves biome, which is currently available only through single biome, caves, or floating islands world types.
- Dripstone clusters can also be found rarely in regular caves.

Glow item frame

Placeable entities that appear to glow.
Do not affect the light level, but appear as if lit up themselves.
Items placed inside also glow.
Crafted using an item frame and a glow ink sac.
Includes application to maps.

Glow lichen

A naturally occurring light source found rarely in caves, growing on any face of a block.
Has a light level of 7.
Obtained with shears, otherwise breaks.
Does not spread naturally, although bone meal can be used to spread it horizontally (or vertically if on the side of a block).
- It spreads to adjacent spaces, up to 4.
Can be waterlogged.
Unlike vines, it does not pop off when underwater, and is not climbable.
Up to 6 can be put on the same block space, merging into one block.

Hanging roots

Decorative blocks that can be placed only on the underside of a block.
Obtained with shears, otherwise breaks.
It can also be obtained using a hoe on rooted dirt turning it into normal dirt.

Infested deepslate

An infested variant of deepslate.
Spawns a silverfish when mined.

Light block

A new waterloggable source of light, originally from Bedrock Edition.
Only available with commands such as /give.
Behaves like air and it is visible only when the item is held, similar to barriers.
- Unlike barriers, light blocks can only be targeted when holding the item.
The light level it is emitting can be changed by interacting with it.

Lightning rod

Can be crafted with 3 copper ingots.
Lightning strikes within a 32-block radius get redirected to the lightning rod.
- Turns completely white when struck by lightning.
Gives off a redstone signal with a strength of 15 if hit by lightning.
Can be activated directly by throwing a trident with Channeling at it during a thunderstorm, though this does not produce a redstone signal.

Moss block

An opaque block with a grass-like texture on all sides.
Can be fertilized with bone meal to grow grass, tall grass, moss carpets, and both types of azaleas on it and in its vicinity.
Can be fertilized with bone meal to grow over (expand) across stone surfaces, but not grass surfaces.
Breaks when pushed by a piston or sticky piston.
Can be combined with cobblestone or stone bricks to make the mossy versions of those blocks.
- Vines can still be used, in addition to moss blocks.
Hoes are the appropriate tool to collect it.
Small dripleaf can be planted on it.

Moss carpet

Same texture as the moss block, but one pixel thick.
Can be crafted with moss blocks, or be obtained by applying bone meal to them.

Pointed dripstone

Can be either placed on a ceiling to create a stalactite or on top of a block to create a stalagmite.
- Can be combined to form longer stalactites and stalagmites.
Thrown tridents break pointed dripstone. They also break when pushed directly or with a block by a piston.
Stalagmites break if not attached to something below.
Stalagmites hurt entities that fall on top of them more than normal fall damage.
- Damage is relative to height: For example, jumping on a stalagmite deals 2HP of damage, and falling from 3 blocks deals 8HP of damage.
Stalactites can fall or break if unsupported, and break apart on impact, hurting entities they fall on.
- Damage is relative to height: For example, one falling from 2 blocks deals 2HP of damage, and one falling from 3 blocks deal 4HP of damage.
- They drip water or lava into cauldrons if a source block is placed above the stalactite, and gradually fill the cauldron. Water drips even without any water above the block (as does lava in the Nether) but this effect alone does not fill the cauldron.
If a stalactite is hanging from a dripstone block with a water source above, it slowly grows both the stalactite from above and a stalagmite from below.
- Growth speed is random but very slow; a single growth step can take several in-game days.

Potted azalea

Obtained by planting an azalea into a pot.

Powder snow

A variant of snow, entities that walk over it sink into it.
Leather boots can be worn to prevent entities from sinking into powder snow blocks.
- Players can still crouch to descend with leather boots. Wearing leather boots also allows powder snow to be "climbed", like water or scaffolding. They also prevent fall damage when landing on powder snow.
- Leather horse armor also protects horses from freeze damage.
When inside a powder snow block, a frosty vignette appears around the player's screen and any entity (with the exception of strays, polar bears, snow golems, and withers) inside starts freezing and taking damage after a short time.
- Wearing any piece of leather armor stops the freeze effect.
Can be collected and placed with a bucket.
Entities on fire melt powder snow when colliding.

Rooted dirt

A dirt-like decorative block with roots on its texture.
Similar to coarse dirt, neither mycelium nor grass spread to it.
Using bone meal on any side grows hanging roots underneath.
Tilling rooted dirt with a hoe now converts it into dirt, and pops out hanging roots.

Sculk sensor

A redstone component that detects vibrations.
Currently, it does not generate naturally, available only from commands such as /give, but natural generation is planned for future versions.
Senses vibrations such as block placement, footsteps, and projectiles, and emits a redstone signal.
Emits particles when it senses a vibration nearby.
A comparator connected to it emits different signal strengths based on what caused the signal.
Does not detect ambient weather such as rain.
Wool blocks between the sensor and the cause of the sound prevent the sensor from detecting the sound.

Smooth basalt

A basalt variant that composes the outer layer of amethyst geodes.
Can be obtained by smelting basalt.

Spore blossom

Available only in Creative or in buffet / custom worlds with the currently unused lush caves biome.
Can be placed only on the underside of a block.

Bucket of axolotl

Obtained by using a water bucket on an axolotl, similar to fish.
Can be used to carry around and empty out axolotls, also similarly to fish.

Bundle

Available only from commands such as /give.
Used to store other items (except shulker boxes) inside of it.
Can hold only one stack of items, but is able to hold different types of items inside of it.
- Items with smaller stacks, such as ender pearls, take up more room in a bundle, and non-stackable items take up the whole bundle.
The bundle's contents can be opened by pressing use while holding it, throwing out its entire content into the world. When destroyed as an entity, it drops the items it currently has as well.
- Right-clicking a bundle in the inventory empties one item from the bundle.
The player receives a tutorial when first having a bundle in the inventory.
Even though bundles are not stackable, bundles can be nested.
- Can hold up to 16 bundles.
- Only empty bundles can be placed in other bundles without using commands.
Has a GUI when hovering over it.
- Shows contained items in its GUI's inventory slots when hovering over it, as well as fullness as a number.

Spyglass

Crafted with 2 copper ingots and an amethyst shard.
When used, it zooms in on wherever the player is looking but limits their view to a square.
- The scope texture is a glass square with a copper border.
- The overlay that limits the view can be removed with a resource pack or by pressing F1.
There is a unique animation for using the spyglass, which is visible in a third-person perspective or by another player.

Can be caught using a water bucket, like fish.
Can be bred using buckets of tropical fish.
Come in five different colors (leucistic, yellow, brown, cyan, and blue, with blue being the rarest).^[1]
- Blue axolotls are very rare, as they don't naturally spawn, only appearing with a ¹⁄₁₂₀₀ chance when breeding.
Plays dead when damaged on water, receiving Regeneration I.
- This regeneration ability is likely based on how real axolotls can regrow lost limbs.
Attacks drowned, guardians, elder guardians, squids, glow squids, and fish, dealing 2HP damage.
- They have a two-minute cooldown after hunting non-hostile targets such as fish and squids.
- They prioritise attacking hostile mobs over passive ones.
If a player kills a mob an axolotl is in combat with, the player gets a Regeneration I effect and is rid of Mining Fatigue, if they had it.

Glow squid

Originates from the mob of the same name in Minecraft Earth.
Underwater mob that behaves like a regular squid.
Can only spawn in complete darkness and where there's a natural stone block less than 5 blocks below the spawning space.

- Every executed command, message (even if it would be normally invisible), result or error is stored to file.
- Cannot be run from inside functions.

/item

Modifies the inventory of a block or entity.
- This command has three forms:
  - /item <target> replace <item stack> [<count>] – same as old /replaceitem
  - /item <target> modify <modifier> – modifies item (without copying).
  - /item <target> copy <source> [<modifier>] – copies item for source to target(s), optionally applying modifier
- Possible sources and targets: entity <selector> <slot> or block <x> <y> <z> <slot>

- Replaced /replaceitem.

/perf

Starts a recording for 10 seconds capturing metrics such as tick durations, used heap sizes and other more detailed stats.
Executing again before the 10-second limit ends the recording early.

Item modifiers

Reuse functions syntax of a loot table to describe item modification in /item command.
The function part of loot tables can now be defined as separate data pack resource in item_modifiers directory.
- Such files can contain a single function (i.e single JSON object) or an array of functions.

Game rules

freezeDamage
- Whether entities take damage from freezing inside of powder snow.
playersSleepingPercentage
- Controls what percentage of players must sleep to skip the night.
