The dust hasn’t even settled after theofficial release of 1.17 Caves and Cliffs Update Part One, which brings dozens upon dozens of new features and enhancements toMinecraftas the first half of the colossalCaves and Cliffs Update, and Mojang Studios is already looking ahead withMinecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta 1.17.10.22. A careful look at the1.17 Caves and Cliffs Update Part One changelogsreveals a big discrepancy between Minecraft: Bedrock Edition and Minecraft: Java Edition, however, which the latest Minecraft beta is aiming to rectify.
One of the gently-hidden features of the Caves and Cliffs Update is the addition of candles, a lovely new light source that can come in various colors and is a surprisingly exciting feature for many players. Minecraft: Java Edition players already get to enjoy everything candles have to offer, but Minecraft: Bedrock Edition narrowly missed out on candles with the initial 1.17 update release. Today’s beta adds candles, alongside a ton of other bug fixes and changes, for testing before Mojang Studios releases candles to the public.
1.17 Caves and Cliffs Update Part One is already a fantastic and feature-packed update for Minecraft, but the addition of candles to Minecraft: Bedrock Edition in the near future will make it even sweeter. Players won’t have to wait until therelease of 1.18 Caves and Cliffs Update Part Two, either, as Mojang Studios has confirmed candles are arriving soon after the launch of 1.17.
