artabriaToday was Minecon and we finally know the name of the 1.17 update: Caves & Cliffs! It won't arrive until next summer, but I'm already SO. EXCITED.
They're changing the cave generation, and we'll have this big beautiful caves with underground lakes. And biomes.
We're also getting a new ore, copper, that can be used to craft a lightning rod. Which means that we'll be able to turn fire spread on again without fear of your builds burning up because there was a storm while you were mining or hunting electrical creepers. (And spooky Halloween builds will look so good, too)
On the mob side: the axolotl looks sooo cute, the Warden looks scary and I can't wait to find it in the future Deep Dark biome (they want to bring back that first night feeling). The glowing squid won the community vote, but I don't know if they're adding it to the Deep Ocean in this update or to the next.
