Minecraftplayers all over the world are currently enjoying 1.17Caves and Cliffs UpdatePart One, while Mojang Studios tirelessly develops the second half of the major release. Today, however, players who aren’t at the forefront of early Minecraft betas and snapshots can pick up a new patch update with the release ofMinecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.17.30, which is currently rolling out to all platforms. As expected, this patch doesn’t include any big feature additions, but there are plenty of changes, fixes, and technical updates for creators.
Those who are interested in taking a look at what’s to come in the second half of the Caves and Cliffs Update can also enable the “Experimental Features” toggle in this release to enjoy some of the major features that were added in previous betas. Be aware, however, that these features are likely to be less stable and more buggy than the regular build.
It’s a common assertion thatMinecraft is one of the greatest games ever made, backed up by a hefty list ofbest Minecraft toys and gifts, and a large part of this is likely due to Mojang’s constant dedication to its title. Minecraft continues to improve over time, and the 1.17.30 update looks to be a solid (if boring) release with lots of polish and bug fixes for players to enjoy.
The Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.17.30 patch update is now available for players onXbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, PlayStation, and Switch devices.
