Gamers interested in finding out what’s in today’s Minecraft 1.17 pre-patch can find the first details below.

As confirmed by Mojang earlier this month, numerous bug fixes and minor changes are being added to the game in the run-up to the big 1.17 launch.

A message from the development team explains: “From now on you should see mostly bug fixes. Also, pre-releases don’t follow the normal snapshot cadence of release on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

“In addition, based on community feedback, we have decided to reintroduce candles in Part 1 of Caves & Cliffs. Candles will be available in Bedrock shortly after Part 1 is released.”

Bringing back Candle is one of the most notable changes in today’s Minecraft update, which should now be available for everyone to download.

More pre-patches are expected to come out in the coming weeks, and this is just the first.

And with the new release cycle just around the corner, it looks like the full Caves & Cliffs update will be available for download at the end of June.

Mojang chose to split the Caves update into two parts, telling fans in May: “The first part of the Caves and Cliffs update will feature new mobs, new items (like the amethyst shard), and new blocks — and it’s happening. just so we’re going to go deep into one of those for you today. Get to know the copper ore block.

“Copper is the first new ore to be added to Minecraft in a long time, since the addition of Nether Quartz ore in the Redstone update in 2013. It comes in two varieties: a common one found in stone and a rarer version that is found in deep shale, close to the bottom of the world.

“Do you want some? Pick a pick and start mining – but don’t dig too deep. Copper ore veins are usually found at medium depths, not too close to the surface, but not too far down either. Oh, and don’t worry – you don’t need any fancy tools to mine it. A stone pickaxe will do just fine.

“Unlike other ores, such as iron, the block itself will not fall when you mine it (unless you use a silk pick). Instead, you get a few chunks of raw copper, each of which can be melted into a copper bar.”

And for an overview of what’s been added today, you can find the pre-Minecraft 1.17 patch notes below:
