Everything Changed in the Minecraft 1.17.1 Update!

Good morning minecraft gamers best speller in the game here it’s a big day update date today july 6 2021 a brand new minecraft update dropped that’s right the era of minecraft 1.17 is over we’re moving on 1.17.1 is the newest update it’s a java edition update

In today’s video we’re going to talk all about the new update gamers today i’m asking you to do a huge favor there’s something big happening if you haven’t heard i’m two followers away from 25 000 followers on twitter today i am kindly asking you to drop a

Follow on my twitter there’s a link at the top of the description you could also like and subscribe if you really felt like it that’d be cool 1.17.1 is the latest java edition update the update dropped well today 1.17.1 is still caves and cliffs update part one

The warden the deep darkness stuff is not in the update yet now 1.17 dropped about a month ago at this point on june 8th so kind of a big gap in between this update that’s actually pretty different last year the nether update dropped on june 23 2020 and 1.16.1

Dropped the next day so yeah one month uh one day pretty big difference now in terms of snapshots or prayer releases or anything like that there were five total for 1.17.1 we got three pre-releases two release candidates which is a little unusual but yeah that’s how it happened now 1.17.1 is

Kind of a big update i mean there are some notable changes but at the same time it’s not really like that big at all in this update we have a change to the spyglass to change the powder snow axe a lot will change uh drown change this one is my favorite

One couple goat changes and some changes to the zombie as well as bug fixes and actually when it comes to bug fixes uh yeah 1.17.1 has some pretty big ones our first big 1.17.1 change has to do with powder snow and cauldrons but powder snow so if you played 1.17 at

All uh you may not have actually come across any powder snow at all that’s because you would have to be a little bit crazy and actually try and farm this stuff now to farm powder snow you’re gonna have to put cauldrons outside in the rain

Except in the snow so like in a cold biome or like really really high up and then you have to wait i haven’t done it at all in survival i don’t recommend doing it in survival it’s a pretty painful process all for something that isn’t that useful

But good news 1.17.1 makes the process a little bit less painful powder snow contents will now fill up two times faster a warning this is still going to be insanely slow don’t really recommend doing this with your time but hey actually look at that one happened already that’s pretty sweet but i

Promise you i guarantee that was kind of just a one-off thing like this is not going to happen very fast um you’re gonna have to be patient i highly recommend getting either a lot of cauldrons or maybe just not doing this at all and not even messing with potter snow until like the

Next update hey it happened again though ah maybe it won’t be too bad next up we have some goat changes the two goat changes happened in 1.78.1 the first go change has to do with goat breeding let’s say we had two normal goats so normal goat rate that nope

That’s screaming a normal goat nor okay hold on all right let’s say we had two normal goats this is a normal goat and this is a normal goat let’s say we bred the two goats we would now have a chance to get a baby screaming goat from those two goats getting bred

This all means the screaming goats are gonna be a little bit easier to get now now unfortunately for the goat it still doesn’t really do much like no goat horn or anything like that quite yet but screaming ups are easier to get out so you could decorate your base with a

Bunch of loud screaming goats have them like charge at you whenever or other things it’s pretty cool they’re easier to get no all right now the next change is pretty interesting so to be honest i don’t know how often you’re going to be really uh using this one but

Let’s say we had some goats and then we gave them effect maybe uh jump boost then let’s say uh maybe one of the goats who decides to jump or maybe even slow falling that would work too could give them like slow falling or really any effect effects are now actually

Going to affect the goat so uh you check these goats out they’re going up the blocks right now uh definitely jump boosts and then if one of these decides to jump actually uh we’re getting something pretty insane so how about a little more jump boost

Um okay now how about one of you just just jump i know it’s kind of hilarious when it happens oh uh yeah yeah poor sheep so it’s pretty funny when it happens uh there we go uh jump boost goat oh yikes the effects actually work on the goats

Now uh same with slow falling which is a really interesting one with the whole jump it turns to jump into like a glide i don’t know where that one just came from but it definitely had a jump boost uh-huh oh oh no that coat is gliding oh no

No no no no oh you’re good you’re good yeah that’s right slow falling yeah so admittedly not the most useful thing but uh definitely interesting maybe if you’re like um a goat reader i guess and maybe you like brew potions on the side uh try this one out uh definitely

Interesting not necessarily the most useful thing but yeah definitely interesting for sure this next situation is going to require a couple pretty specific conditions to line up just right for you to actually experience it but maybe if you were lucky you saw it in 1.17 so first let’s say you’re down

In the caves you have dark water water where a glow squid can spawn you have a glow squid spawn and then unfortunately glow squid jumps out of water or something happens glow squig goes away alright so goodbye glow squid uh glowing sack on the ground right uh

Now let’s say we had a zombie spawn and then the zombie walked over the glowing sack the zombie would have before potentially picked up that glowing sack and just held on to it now if you know how mechanics work with zombies that would mean that the zombie would no longer do spawn

And it would just be standing around idling around with glow squid inside of the cave uh just just literally existing it wouldn’t despawn well uh good news if that happened to you it will no longer happen to you that has been removed in 1.17.1 as of 1.17.1 zombies husks uh drown

And zombie villagers can no longer pick up the glowing sack if you have a bunch of these things on the ground near these mobs no matter what they will no longer be able to pick them up not exactly an exciting change but definitely a good change if you don’t like mobs spawning

In your caves and then just standing around oh man my favorite change in the entire update though is this next one i really like this one this is amazing so before this update drowned had a five percent chance to drop a copyright when taken out with a normal sword

Each level of looting would raise that chance one percent so that means looting three eight percent chance this update uh the game has been changed completely so our base percentage is going to be 11 that means uh when we take out a drone with a normal sword uh no enchantments

Anything like that we’re gonna have an eleven percent chance to get a copper ingot now it’s not exactly the best uh but it’s definitely better than five but it gets even better this is a good one so check this sword out it’s got a good name

It also has looting three so now in one point seventeen point one each level of looting is going to raise that chance to get a copper and get two percent instead of one so looting one that’s gonna get you thirteen percent uh looting two is gonna be 15. looting

Three is going to give you a 17 chance to get a copper ingot from a drought when you take it out now yes uh still it is not the best thing in the world seventy percent isn’t exactly like insane or in amazing it’s not gonna happen every single time

But it’s 17 instead of eight percent that’s literally more than twice as good that is so good if you already have a drowned farm setup in your world uh then take your looting sword over to it and try taking the drought out if you don’t have a drone farm setup in your world

Uh you could set it up don’t really set it up for copper though but i mean if you’re looking for other drowned things like nautilus shell the trident you know just drum loot in general or if you just want to build a drowned farm uh you’re gonna start getting more

Copper ingots from the thing which is really really nice another way to get copper we love to see it we absolutely love to see it we can’t complain about this one my favorite 1.17.1 change easier coppering is i mean look at that two copper ring gets in no time at all

If i had found an amethyst geode i could actually take those two copper ingots and combine them with an amethyst for the perfect segue into the next 1.17.1 change actually check this out the spyglass does it look a little bit different to you did you never get one in 1.17 like me

Well that’s fine uh the spyglass texture has actually been changed so check this out this is a screenshot that i took in this world before i turned it to 1.17.1 uh yeah looks a little bit different the base of the spyglass has glass snow that’s the change that that’s

It uh you can see the glass in your hand uh it doesn’t change anything the zoom works exactly the same it just is like a little bit more consistent now not reality breaking the game is immersive again which is that’s great good stuff axolotl axolotl we have two axolotls in the wild

Uh there’s the third axolotl so we have the pink axolotl right there and the yellow axolotl uh previously if you were really lucky in 1.17 you might have found the blue axolotl and i’m not talking like that one right there i’m talking the dark blue one

Uh now in 1.17.1 if you have that blue axolotl you are insanely lucky because the blue axolotl is now harder to get again so the blue axolotl if you’re looking for it uh you’re gonna have to use the spawn egg or survival friendly way you’re gonna actually have to breed axolotl the only

Way to get the blue axolotl that’s the axolotl with the orange on it as well is going to be by breeding other axolotls and it’s not going to happen a lot either it’s going to be insanely uncommon essentially in an abstract sense and also not at all if you have the blue

Axolotl the one with orange on it you’re going to be similar to somebody like logan paul or somebody with something insanely rare logan paul has that pokemon card it’s like 300 000 lot of money yeah this actually isn’t a logan paul endorsement maybe not the best comparison here but the blue

Axolotl is rare if you have it that’s pretty cool hey would you take a look at that general these are the technical changes in 1.17.1 there is one notable one here but there are some other technical changes the big one here new characters you can actually use these emojis in the game

Now which is pretty sweet ah and then bug fixes so according to the 1.17.1 wiki there is a total of 41 bug fixes and 1.17.1 that’s a lot of bug fixes here are four notable ones mcbug 222 731 mcbug 225 six m c bug two two eight eight five eight

And oh boy the big one mcbug two two nine one nine one all of those bugs have now been fixed so just in case you don’t memorize the bug numbers like me and what they actually mean uh here they are so the first one mcbug two two two seven three one

Is a bad one at least for axolotl so if you captured an axolotl and then you placed it down uh sometimes the axolotl would actually try and escape the water like just leave the water and go on land which is obviously bad news for the axolotl like very very bad news

They shouldn’t be doing that anymore hopefully uh just definitely keep your eyes on it uh just to be safe but yeah they hopefully shouldn’t be doing that now uh this is a bug that i have noticed already uh sorry devs uh they swim around outside of the water sometimes like when

I put them on the corner it happens a lot um okay it’s not going to happen now but they’re like kind of out of the water right it’s kind of weird looking yeah editor please remove all of the color hey wait is that a geode

Oh no way this is a geode on the surface on the surface a geode oh that’s amazing what oh that’s insane here is the seed and the location that’s insane editor please remove all the color from this video now it’s not good and put the sad music to please

Okay yep thank you perfect uh the next bug fix uh two two five eight one six hanging group sweet hanging group before this fix hang it was gigantic on the ground and it was pretty sweet that was just tiny like all of the other items on the ground

Yep it’s not giant anymore i’m so sorry about that i should have never shown it in the video that’s sad yeah so come to find out the axolotls were actually pretty problematic in 1.17 so axolotls would actually despawn even though they had name tags and were on leads sometimes uh they

Shouldn’t despawn anymore 1.7.1 if those are the conditions uh however the axolotl is still being insanely weird on the lead um i guess that’s intentional i don’t know it’s pretty strange i i don’t exactly know why that one’s still here but it’s still here and it’s pretty sweet oh poor axel

So yeah if you have an axolotl on a lead or if you have an axolotl with a name it shouldn’t despawn anymore it might still do this crazy crawling thing though ha ha ha then the big one uh two two nine one nine one diamond or distribution changed between 1.16.5 and 1.17.1

So uh something weird was up with with diamonds it’s pretty split here it’s kind of strange some people have run some pretty big tests and found that everything is pretty much the same as before other people have been saying that it’s just harder to find diamonds for some reason

Not having any luck i’m the second group i haven’t been able to find diamonds at all diamond or generation has been like messed up at least that’s how it seemed in 1.17 for me i don’t know what to say here uh diamond or generation was bugged in 1.17

Uh some people say it wasn’t as bugged as it felt but i don’t know it felt pretty buggy either way though 1.17.1 uh diamond org generation has been fixed i hope it’s been fixed i already loaded in my world and kind of built all over it so

Diamonds are going to be fixed in pre-existing chunks if you’ve already loaded your world in 1.17 can’t find diamonds i’m sorry you’re gonna have to go somewhere like completely new to find them but yeah i dropped a video on it last week you might have caught it i don’t

Know how has it been for you have you been able to find diamonds in 1.17 uh has it been harder than 1.16 easier let me know down below a diamond change diamond bug or not here are all of the bug fixes in minecraft 1.17.1 41 issues fixed in total again that’s a

Lot of bug fixes uh tons and tons of bug fixes most of the bugs are from 1.17 some of the bugs are from before 1.17 as well but other than the bug fixes that is actually going to just about wrap up today’s video minecraft 1.17.1

Is out now now how about the warden in 1.18 when is that happening well uh we still don’t really know when that’s going to happen i mean i would think snapchats have to be starting soon though hopefully snapshot season soon with 1.18 uh i hope but yup unfortunately no

Official release date on that one whenever 1.18 snapshots start i’ll start making snapshot videos and i’ll drop those you won’t want to miss them tomorrow i’m going to drop a guide episode it’s going to be pretty cool definitely don’t want to miss that too to make sure you don’t miss those things subscribe
