Change Highlights in this version:
Caveats:
– You’ll be unable to open old worlds in this snapshot as there is currently no upgrade path towards the new world height
World generation:
– Overworld generation range and build limits have been expanded by 64 blocks up and 64 blocks down, to a total range of 384 blocks
– Underground features, structures, and caves generate all the way down to y -64.
– No, they aren’t loud. The “noise” part of noise caves is a technical term and has nothing to do with sound.
– Noise caves are a new way of generating caves, providing more natural variety. They can get really huge sometimes!
Noise caves come in two flavors:
– Cheese caves. Like the holes in swiss cheese. These often form caverns of various size.
– Spaghetti caves. Long squiggly tunnels, sometimes wide like tagliatelle.
– The old cave carvers and canyons still generate, combining with the noise caves to form interesting cave systems.
– As with carvers, when noise caves intersect the surface they form cave entrances.
– An aquifer is an area with local water level, independent of sea level. Aquifers are used during world generation to generate bodies of water inside noise caves. This sometimes results in large underground lakes!
– For now, aquifers are only used below y31. This means all noise caves between y31 and sea level (y63) will be flooded with water, and noise cave entrances will essentially be lakes. This will be fixed later.
– Magma sometimes generates at the bottom of underground bodies of water
– Underwater cave carvers and underwater canyons have been removed, since aquifers are used to generate water in caves instead.
– Mineshaft pieces don’t generate if they would be fully floating in the air
– Mineshaft corridors are supported by log pillars when needed
– No floating cobwebs
Blocks & Items:
– You can no longer crouch or jump to prevent a big dripleaf from tilting
– A big dripleaf will now tilt rather than break when hit by a projectile
– A redstone powered big dripleaf will not tilt (except when hit by a projectile)
– Dripleaf now starts tilting quicker than before, and will keep tilting regardless of what you do
– Fixed MC-213813 – Small dripleaf can destroy any block
Visuals:
– The textures for hanging roots and small dripleaves have been updated

It IS the cave update!
IM SOOO EXCITED!
slicedlime, do you know if there will be a 21w06b snapshot allowing us to upgrade our worlds to this snapshot anytime soon?

It's interesting how the bottom of the Minecraft world is filled with stone. I'm guessing that's where the Deep Dark is going to go.
Sucks I cannot convert old worlds to the new ones for the time being. But im okay with that. Mojang should take their time for this update
I always enjoy your voice and narration 🙂
Those big caves look amazing! They're going to be a lot of fun to explore and build in. I hope that in the final release they are much less common than they are in this snapshot and previous versions, so that it is that much more exciting when a player discovers one.
the diamond rates are impressive in the large caves
Here’s a possibility: what if you made the world even deeper? If you added another 64 block below, you could implement a form of “height difficulty”; the deeper you go, the more dangerous it is. There would be enough room to comfortably slot underground biomes, like the Deep Dark, without it feeling a little crowded. If you moved diamonds to -64—-127 and increased ore there (and lowered it above), there would be a reward for the extra risk. It could make getting to the bottom of the world actually a challenge!
Basically, Terraria.
Is it possible to load a world that was made in the previous snapshot (with the new snapshot, 21w06a)?
Bring back The Void Fog From Beta! If u Put them Back i will Cry from Nostalgia :')
I would love to have the lavafalls and waterfalls generated so that it doesn't look ugly. For example, little to none lavafalls on the surface, only waterfalls above water lakes and only lavafalls above lava lakes.
Also, wouldn't it be cool to have emerald ore generated in the lush caves? It would then make sense why villagers have so many of them.
Will we get all-new achievements eventually?
Rip floating cobwebs you will be missed..
These new caves are bonkers!
"like spahgetti… yes"
Is this the permanent maximum height and depth for 1.17 or just the max height and depth for this snapshot? Was really hoping for -1024 to +1024 build height!
Wow, I was literally just thinking the other day "man, mineshafts are gonna look really silly in these huge caves, I hope they do something about that" and hey look, here we are! The mineshafts fit in a LOT better this way.

While the updated root texture is a good improvement, the dripleaf stem looks like a significant downgrade to me.
Maybe the noise caves could have diamonds spawn more rareley visable
Your updatevideos are the reason why I subscribed
1.17 is officially the best update of all time. Not even exaggerating. Phenomenal job, Mojang!!!!
This update is amazing, thank you mojang u never let down with these updates
Another snapshot closer to learning just what exactly the deep dark is and why we will want to explore it and fend ourselves from the wardens… It's coming soon!
Oh boy, I thought we had to wait two weeks.
I'M SO HYPED!
is the level where you find diamonds the same
what about sifting gravel to make sand?
and then blowing cobblestone to make gravel too. notice that to obtain cobblestone, you need player interaction.
makes a tnt cycle, and enhancing tnt usage is in the theme for the update.
if not exactly like this, then sth similar, along this line, especially in a way that it is impossible to make completely automated, but that gives that needed renewable sand
not to speak of the need to destroy deserts to have a nice glass dome or anything that aint a couple of windows
Seeing an aquifer in a warm ocean with its teal-blue color got me thinking of how cool it would be to have a thermal biome with lava pockets, bubbling “warm” water with magma blocks underneath, and thermal vents spewing particles like campfires.
I'm worried this will make ores like diamonds a lot more common to find. I hope the rarity of the ores become rare again in a future snapshot.
I guess this is the return of endless caves systems from back in the good old Alpha and early Beta days, but much bulkier. xD
yayy
Wow, this looks amazing! Thanks for the update
diamond ore is it still levels from 15-1 or is it now 15 – -64
I have a question will drowns spawn in the aquifers??
"Because they are generated using a mathematical technique called Perlin Noise"
But the whole game is generated using Perlin Noise, it should just be called Noisecraft
IMO the massive caves should be way rarer
HOLY CRAP
Does that mean there will be a wall of bedrock between y=0 and y=-64 on the chunk borders that separate old and new? Or will we never be able to convert our worlds.
Perfect type of caves that I want to do a 404 Challenge like paulsoarsejr.
One thing, why aren’t ores going to spawn below zero? I understand that area is where the deep dark will spawn but unless the Warden is guarding something really good there’s no reason to go down there.
You think its possible that with the increased depth now, that ravines should cut deeper/be deeper in general than they currently are?
Are the Mojang developers coding an algorithm that will transfer old world elements into the new world generation? I think that's why old world loading is temporarily disabled.
I ask you slime?
Will y0 – y61 actually apply a Deepstone in Normal cave ore (before CAC Update) or are have new ore for Deep dark?
Like (Deepstone Diamond Ore? , Deepstone Iron Ore?)
Mega bases are now gonna be crazy!
Hello twitter man
This is making me so excited!
3:22 Pacifically!
What with diamond level. theres GOTTA be SOME changes to it! like under y 12 are there MORE or less or what? and what with strip mining? pls say what is hapaning with these things!
Noice caves. Yes, nice.
Were hungry while creating names for the subtypes,, weren't you Mojang?
