PRE-RELEASE 3 | Minecraft Java Edition 1.17

A Minecraft Java Pre-Release

It's Monday and it's time for another pre-release! This one fixed a few bugs and crashes.

In case you missed our recent news, we just announced that we're releasing Caves & Cliffs Part I on June 8th. That's soon!

Update: we've now released 1.17 pre-release 3.

Note that a bug has snuck into this pre-release making the game warn about every world as if it was experimental. This will be fixed in the next pre-release.

CHANGES IN 1.17 PRE-RELEASE 3

• Tweaked the textures of lit candles
• Mobs rammed by goats will no longer retaliate
• Axolotls and Glow Squids now only spawn in total darkness and where there's a natural stone block less than 5 blocks below the spawning space
