- DISCLAIMER: This describes an update on the FANON website. When 1.17.1 is released in the near future and if it does not update what this page says it will, please do not troll me in the comments about how this is not in the real game. Thank you :)
- 1.17.1 is canonical to my 1.18: Savannah Update post, my 1.19: Combat, Enchanting, Adventure! post, and my 1.20: A New World post.
1.17.1 was released as a surprise a month after the 1.17 Caves and Cliffs update, on September 14th, 2021. There were no snapshots prior to the release, so many bugs came with this update. Luckily, 1.17.2 was released two days later fixing numerous bugs from 1.17.1.
Additions[]
Highlights:[]
Tin Ore: Only spawns under Mountains, Rivers, or Oceans, from y80 to 54. Spawns most commonly at y68. Generates in veins of 1-4 and can be smelted into a tin ingot.
Tin Ingots: Used as a crafting recipe for several tin-related items. Obtained by excavation sites, raw tin, and piglin bartering.

- All Tin Blocks, Stairs, Slabs, and other block variants give off two more redstone output than a normal block would when interacted with, stepped on, or destroyed

Evergreen Logs, Planks, Stairs, Slabs, Fences, Fence Gates, Doors, Trapdoors, Stripped Logs, Wood, Stripped Wood, Leaves, Saplings, Signs, Boats, Buttons, and Pressure Plates have been added. The Bark is a greyish-brown color with a similar color inside.

Azelea Logs and Planks
Azalea Logs, Planks, Stairs, Slabs, Fences, Fence Gates, Doors, Trapdoors, Stripped Logs, Wood, Stripped Wood, Signs, Boats, Buttons and Pressure Plates have been added. The bark is nearly identical to acacia bark but it has a lilac-colored inside similar to the logs in Minecraft Dungeons' "Dingy Jungle."
Pointed Stone has been added. It is Pointed Dripstone but with a stone texture. It generates uncommonly in the Dripstone Caves biome.
Icicles have been added. They drip water by themselves when exposed to heat, and the bottom has a chance of melting when exposed to heat. They generate exclusively in the Blizzard Tunnels Cave Biome.
Ominous Crystal: 2 are crafted from an Amethyst Shard and a Glow Ink Sac. They are as thick as a candle and stop mobs from spawning in a 15x15 radius.
Tin Pipe: Used to transfer items between hoppers. Cannot interact with any block with an interface except for another Tin Pipe or another hopper.
Bone Diamond Ore: Regular Diamond Ore, but with a bone texture. Only generates in fossils.
Mossy Deepslate Bricks, and Infested variants of all Deepslate Bricks have been added.
Magnetized Copper Block: Is made when lightning strikes a copper block or a lightning rod with a copper block under it. Has the same texture as regular copper, but with dark blue flecks. Can be made from any oxidation stage, can be made from blocks, stairs, and slabs. Players with Iron Boots on cannot fall off the block, but instead walk on the side and even upside-down! Players with both an Iron Helmet and Iron Boots levitate up to a Magnetized Copper Block. Magnetized Copper Blocks emit blue particles under it.
Raw Tin, obtained from mining Tin Ore
Items:[]
Tin Ingot: Smelted from Raw Tin or Tin Ore.
Raw Tin: Dropped from Tin ore.
Entities:[]
Crimson and Warped Boats have been added. They are used just like all the other boat types.
Biomes:[]
Lava Grottos:
Mostly Generates under y0. A lot of Basalt generates in this biome, as well as Igneous Rocks like Diorite, Granite, and Andesite. Lava Pools are spread throughout the cave with a few Obsidian Waterfalls scattered around the place. Basalt Pillars like the ones in the Nether generate in this biome as well. There is no glow lichen, it was all burnt by the lava, and the only signs of live are dead coral fans on the walls and Bone Blocks scattered around. Magma Cubes spawn here along with other overworld monsters. But to reward you for the dangers of this biome, Diamonds spawn here more often than in any other cave biome.
Blizzard Caves:
Only generate in the new Mountain Biomes. They spawn with packed ice and icicles. Strays generate very commonly in here, and lakes of Blue Ice can sometimes be found. Powdered Snow replaces all gravel in the cave, be sure to bring your leather boots!
Drifting Mountains: A mountain sub-biome that only generates next to Jungles. Unlike the wooded mountains, it only spawns between a Mountain and a Jungle, very rare conditions, especially because these two do not often spawn near each other, making this one of the rarest subbiomes in Minecraft. The Drifting Mountains are similar to the Shattered Savannah except they are much shorter, with terrain only reaching up to y156. However, what makes this subbiome unique, is that it is filled with floating islands, some of them very small, and some of them very large. Under the floating Islands is a hilly jungle, filled with Stone, Jungle Trees, and normal Jungle things. On top of the islands are like normal mountains, with Jungle Trees and et cetera.
The Developers have confirmed this biome wasn't finished, and it was given a massive update in 1.19: Combat, Enchanting, Adventure! with the addition of Sapper Plants, Snapper Traps, and Whiptails.
Waterfalls: Large Waterfalls Generate in Wooded Moutains. Mist Particles generate at the bottom of them the waterfalls can start rivers and lakes. Very rarely there is a lava variant!
