This page documents a major update currently being worked on.
Therefore, not all official feature names or items are mentioned.
The official logo for Caves & Cliffs.
Caves & Cliffs is an upcoming major themed update set to release in mid-2021[1] as Java Edition 1.17 and Bedrock Edition 1.17.0.[2] It was announced in Minecraft Live 2020[3] and includes new features for caves and mountains.
This update's development on Java Edition started with snapshot 20w45a, which was released on November 4, 2020.
This update's development on Bedrock Edition started with beta 1.16.200.52, which was released on October 28, 2020, although most of the features are behind experimental gameplay toggle until 1.17.0 and wasn't included in the full 1.16.200 release.[4][5]
Notable features
Main articles: Java Edition 1.17 and Bedrock Edition 1.17.0
Blocks
- Can be crafted with 4 amethyst shards.
- Generates only in amethyst geode structures.
- Makes a sparkling sound when placed or walked on.
- When it receives a random tick, it has a 20% chance to generate or grow an amethyst bud on one of its sides.
- Can only be obtained in Creative inventory.
- Relatively rare, generates only in amethyst geode structures.
- Grow on any side of budding amethyst blocks over time.
- Is a light source.
- Fully grown crystals break to produce an amethyst shard item.
- These can be crafted into spyglasses and tinted glass.
- Spawns between tuff and blocks of amethyst, much like real-life geodes.
- Visually similar to diorite, but with a smoother texture.
- Found underground surrounding the outsides of amethyst geode formations.
- Spawns as an outer- covering of amethyst geodes on the outer side of calcite, similar to real-life geodes.
- A type of glass that does not allow light to pass through.
- Crafted with a glass block in the middle and 4 amethyst shards around it.
- Drops itself when broken, even without Silk Touch, unlike glass.
- Copper Block and variants
- Copper blocks are used for storage.
- Made with 4 copper ingots.
- Only cut copper can be used to make stairs and slabs.
- Made with 4 copper blocks.
- Develops a patina of pale green copper carbonate over multiple stages, which might be sped up by weather such as rain.
- Honeycombs can be used to make waxed copper, which does not progress beyond the patina stage it has at the time.
- Copper blocks are used for storage.
- Crafted with 3 copper ingots.
- Redirects nearby lightning strikes to the top of the rod, which can prevent flammable structures from catching fire during thunderstorms.
- Emits a redstone signal when struck by lightning.
- Can be oriented in different directions.
- Can create lightning when struck by a channeling trident in a thunder storm, but does not output a redstone signal.
- Candles and Candle Cakes
- A light source, has light level of 3.
- Can have up to four in a single block, similar to sea pickles. If 1 more candle is placed in a block, it increases the light level by 3, making a max light level of 12.
- Variants for uncolored and all 16 colors.
- Emits fire particles.
- Can be lit with a flint and steel, fire charge, an arrow fired from a flame-enchanted bow, or a fire charge shot by a dispenser if it hits the candle.
- When lit, the player can left click it to snuff it.
- Can only be placed if there is a solid surface below.
- Can still float if the block below them is broken.
- Right-clicking a candle on an uneaten cake makes a "birthday cake", which can have 1 candle placed on it.
- If the cake is eaten, the candle will pop off.
- Uncolored candle crafted with 1 string and 1 honeycomb.
- Colored candle crafted using one of the 16 dyes and one uncolored candle.
- Can now be filled with lava in Java Edition, which was previously a Bedrock Edition exclusive.
- Can now be filled from the snowfall in mountains creating powder snow. Can be collected from buckets.
- Similar to snow, but entities fall through it, similar to the effect of cobwebs, but faster.
- This is how regular snow layer blocks worked in old versions of Minecraft, but it was changed because it created accidental booby traps when lava ponds generated at just the right height to cut out the ground but not the snow.
- "Snowier snow" was announced to be part of the Mountains biome in the biome vote at MINECON Live 2019, which is related to powder snow.[6]
- When wearing leather boots, it acts like scaffolding.
- If the player does not have leather boots equipped and they walk or fall in, they will start to freeze and take damage.
- Freezing lowers the player's FOV (field of view) and puts a frosty vignette on their screen.
- Leather armor prevents freezing.
- Purely decorative and currently only available in the creative inventory.
- Comes in two forms, stalactites and stalagmites.
- Stalactites hang from the ceiling and will drip water or lava, based on what was above them. The stalactites will still drip water naturally without a source block above it, but it does not fill the cauldron.
- Stalagmites are found on the floor of the cave and deal damage if landed on.
- Falling from a greater height deals more damage than from a shorter height.
- Comes in two forms, stalactites and stalagmites.
- Rails can now be waterlogged in Java Edition, which was previously a Bedrock Edition exclusive.
- Generates in the deep dark cave biome.
- Can be used for wireless redstone.
- Senses vibrations created by things such as block placement, footsteps, and projectiles, including fishing rods.[7]
- Wool can occlude its ability to sense. This can be placed between or completely around the source of the input.
- Cannot detect players sneaking.
- Can be used with a piston to create a wireless redstone clock.
- Emits particles (animation here: File:Particle of the Vibration.gif) when it senses a vibration nearby except when waterlogged.
- Are not affected by ambient weather such as rain,[8] nor other sculk sensors and/or the warden.[9]
Items
- Drops 4 (without the fortune enchantment) from Amethyst Crystals.
- Used to make spyglasses and tinted glass.
- Obtained by using a water bucket on an axolotl, similar to fish.
- Can contain one cumulative stack of any variety of item types.
- Stack sizes are sustained. For example, a bundle containing 32 blocks with a stack size of 64 could hold only an additional 8 ender pearls, as the stack size of an ender pearl is 16; the half stack of ender pearls added to the half stack of blocks is calculated as one full stack. Unstackable items like minecarts remain unstackable.
- Displays a blue bar, similar to a durability bar, that shows how full it is.
- Items are added by holding the bundle within the inventory and clicking an item or vice versa.
- Tooltip shows icons of contained items.
- Items drop to inventory when right clicked.
- Are crafted with rabbit hide and string.
- Can contain one cumulative stack of any variety of item types.
- Created by smelting copper ore.
- Can be used to craft copper blocks, lightning rods, and spyglasses.
- Using a bucket on powder snow creates a powder snow bucket.
- Powder snow buckets can be used to place powder snow.
- Powder snow buckets can also be filled from cauldrons filled with powder snow.
- Spawn eggs for the new mobs are added.
The axolotl spawn egg, currently available in Java Edition.- The goat spawn egg, currently available in Bedrock Edition.
- Spawn eggs for the new mobs are added.
- Crafted from a amethyst shard and copper ingots.
- When used while held, it allows the player to see far away objects through a small square.
- Switching to third person view while using the spyglass shows the player holding up the spyglass to where the eyes would be.
Mobs
The five varieties of axolotl: lucy (pink), wild (brown), gold, cyan, and a rare blue variety.
- Based on the critically endangered Mexican salamander with the same name in real life.
- Planned to be found in bodies of water within lush caves biomes.
- The first amphibian added to Minecraft.
- Can be caught in a bucket like fish.
- Comes in four common varieties, lucy (pink), wild (brown), gold, and cyan, and a rare blue variety, which has a 1⁄1200 (~0.08334%) chance of spawning.
- Plays dead when damaged, receiving Regeneration.
- This regeneration ability is likely based on how real axolotls can regrow lost limbs.
- Attacks fish and squid, and attacks attack drowned and guardians (doesn't include Elder Guardians) if tempted with tropical fish by a player.
A goat.
- Currently only spawns in mountain biomes.
- Can jump high to avoid obstacles, about 5 blocks tall.
- Attacks nearby animals by charging and knocking them a considerable distance.
- Takes reduced fall damage.
- Avoids powder snow by jumping over it.
- Can be bred with wheat, which produces a baby goat.

- Contains tuff, calcite, blocks of amethyst, budding amethyst, and the amethyst clusters they generate.
- Twinkle-like sounds can be heard near amethyst crystals, which used placeholder sounds when it was showcased, and not the final version.[10]
- The sounds are caused by the amethyst blocks in the geode.
Biomes
A dripstone caves biome.
- Contains pointed dripstone and dripstone blocks.
Gameplay
- Vibrations
- An action can cause vibrations in the air, which can be picked up by sculk sensors and wardens
- Can be caused by player and mob movements, blocks being placed or broken, containers opening, projectiles being fired and landing, blocks like pistons moving, buttons, levers and pressure plates activating, and blocks activating. Vibrations are not caused by ambient weather such as rain or snow [8]

Items
- Brush
- Used to sweep debris away from archaeological items.
- Sweeps debris off archaeological items one layer at a time. If interrupted, the block it was being used on simply disappears, and does not yield custom block heights.
- Also comes in a blue-green variant:
- This may imply a connection to copper, as both the variant and normal brushes have corresponding colors to the blocks shown.
- Ceramic Shards
- Obtained with a brush at archeological sites.
- Come in different colors and different designs, each depicting a different picture, such as an ender dragon, a cow, Alex, a skeleton, a tree and a vindicator.
- Can be placed/customized on clay pots.
- Currently using placeholder art, according to Jasper Boerstra.[16]
- Glow Berries
- Can be eaten.
- Used as a light source.
- Spawn Eggs
Mobs
"Glow Squid" redirects here. For the Minecraft Earth version, see MCE:Glow Squid.
- Glow Squid
- Originates from Minecraft Earth.
- Glows in the same way that magma cube cores, vexes, blazes and the eyes of spiders, drowned, and endermen do.
- Spawns in the deep ocean biome.
- Likely to spawn in flooded caves as well.
- Was decided on based on a mob vote between it, the Moobloom from Minecraft Earth, and the Iceologer from the Minecraft Dungeons DLC Creeping Winter.
- Warden
A picture of the Warden and Iron Golem standing side by side
- Spawns in the new deep dark biome.
- The first fully blind mob (bats, despite relying almost exclusively on echolocation, still have basic eyesight).
- When sensing movement, it moves toward the source of the movement.
- It follows and attacks players, mobs, and other entities that make vibrations.[note 1]
- It does not attack other Wardens.
- When attacked, it path finds toward the player.
- Seems to follow the same rules as the sculk sensor when detecting noise.
- When it detects a vibration, the growths on its head rattle and light up, similar to the sculk sensor.
- If any projectile, like a snowball or an arrow, is thrown and lands near the Warden, it causes the mob to head to the location of where the projectile landed, due to the projectile creating movement and noise. This tactic can be used in order to cause a distraction.
- Does not detect players that are sneaking.
- Can detect players that are invisible.[18]
- When aggravated for long enough, the warden follows the player continuously, regardless of any other distractions.
- It follows and attacks players, mobs, and other entities that make vibrations.[note 1]
- Incredibly strong, doing 30 × 15 damage, bringing players wearing full netherite armor from full health to 7 health points.
- A mob designed to be extremely difficult, and fled from.[19]
- Has a way to counter the strategy of building up 3 blocks to avoid attacks.[20]
- At least as fast as the player's walking speed.
- Seems to use the energy of vibrations to move faster.
- Seems to have knockback resistance.
- The warden's chest has a glowing core that appears to brighten and dim in tandem with the ambient lighting of the deep dark cave biome.
- The core creates a low throbbing sound as it pulses. The sound and animation seem to speed up rapidly when the warden notices a player.
- Is about 3.2 blocks tall, making it one of the tallest mobs in the game, exceeding the iron golem and enderman in height and width (the same).[note 2][21][more information needed]
World generation
- Archaeological excavation
- A new semi-underground structure where archeological items and ceramic shards can be found.[verify]
- Deep dark biome
- New biome at the "deepest depths of the world".
- Wardens can spawn here.
- May contain candles.
- Contains sculk blocks, and the new Sculk Sensor Blocks, a new block that responds to vibrations.
- Contains a new Darkstone.[unofficial name]
- Lush caves
- Generate below azalea trees.
- Can be reached by following azalea roots underground.
- Contains tall grass, glow berries, dripleaf plants, spore blossoms, moss blocks, moss blankets, clay blocks, azalea roots, and azalea saplings.
- Can spawn axolotls.
- Mesh caves
- Seems to be possibly a large tunnel-like cave generation.
- Not much is known about this cave variation yet, but it was confirmed on Twitter by Henrik Kniberg.[22]
- Possibly contain "catacomb" style branching cave sections.
- General
- More extreme and smooth terrain.
- Likely change to the generation of alternate stone types, to make them appear in larger but less numerous deposits.[23]
- Possibly seen in a screenshot tweeted by Henrik Kniberg,[24] in which diorite appears to generate in a long and flat horizontal strip, rather than a small unevenly shaped patch.
Gameplay
- Archaeology
- The player can find items and blocks in gravel and dirt inside the dig site structure by using the brush.
- Possible items shown in the preview footage include:
- Ceramic shards of varying color that depict different images.
- Diamond blocks and emerald blocks are probably not a part of this list and serve as a placeholder for something else.[citation needed]
- Dimming of light[unofficial name]
- While in the deep dark cave biome, the ambient lighting occasionally dims temporarily, limiting the player's visibility. This serves as a warning that the warden is nearby.[25]
Planned changes
Blocks

World generation
- Complete generation overhaul.
- Many variations on cave types and cave design.
- Biomes within caves introduced.
- Local water levels
- A new underground water level generation aspect has been introduced, which allows for certain areas of a world to generate with a specified water level different from that of another area (such as sea level).
- Allows for the generation of larger underground lakes and connections to oceans.
- Allows for the generation of many underground waterfalls.
- Allows for underwater entrances.
- Mountains

- Revamped, featuring some new small spruce trees on the slopes and ice or packed ice above the peaks.
- Contain goats, snow blocks, and powder snow.
- To be revamped, possibly to balance the generation of copper.
- Some stone appears a little different and when that stone is mined, more of the ore should be found behind it.
- Other Stones
- Diorite or calcite and what appears to be tuff spawn in layers of rock in straight lines instead of splotches.
An example of how the other stones may generate
Unconfirmed features
These features are not confirmed for 1.17, but were mentioned or showcased by developers during the development of 1.17. Main article: Mentioned features.
Structures
- Underground Cabin[unofficial name]
- Seen in the Deep Dark biome during the Minecraft Live 2020 stream.[26]
- Consists of a chamber with a cobblestone floor and stripped log support beams, containing 3 barrels, a blast furnace, and a large chest, with cobwebs and candles in and around it.
- May possibly not be a generated structure, but instead a construction built for the purpose of the Warden showcase.
General
Height Limit
- May be increased, though this is yet to be decided.[27]
- In Java Edition, customized world generation allows for a higher build limit and a lower void.
Trivia
- Swedish painter John Bauer was one of the main inspirations behind the design and idea of the lush caves biome, specifically Bauer's 'Oskuldens Vandring' (Innocent's Journey) painting.[citation needed]
- This is the first update to add a new ore to the Overworld since emerald ore was added in 1.3.1 (12w21a) for Java Edition and v0.9.0 alpha for Bedrock Edition, in 2012 and 2014 respectively.
- This is the first update to add a real-world metal into the game since Classic 0.0.14a in 2009 for Java Edition, which brought both iron and gold, and v0.3.0 alpha in 2012 for Bedrock Edition, which brought iron.
- Although the axolotl is the first amphibian mob implemented into Minecraft, it was not the first announced one, since frogs were announced during the MINECON Live 2019 biome vote.
- Despite ores being shown to emit light during the reveal of this update, this was later confirmed to be just for demonstration purposes, to give a much clearer vision for viewers, and not for the final version.
- The name "Sculk" is derived from the word "skulk", meaning "keep out of sight, typically with a sinister or cowardly motive".[13]
- Mojang Studios employees explored real caves to research for the update. This helped give inspiration and ideas for the update, including for the mesh caves.[28][29]
- Henrik Kniberg also recalled memories of past visits to caves around the world.[30]
- Tinted Glass is the name of the Stained Glass in the April fool's joke Minecraft 2.
- As of Java Edition 1.17 (20w51a), Waxed Lightly Weathered Cut Copper Stairs is the longest item name in the game, with 41 characters.
- The art style of the concept art for Caves & Cliffs was inspired by the concept art of Diamonds and Lemons, the Adventure Time episode featuring a Minecraft crossover.[31]
