ShireenPlays – How To Download & Install the Official Minecraft 1.17 Caves and Cliffs Data Pack in Minecraft Java

Hello everyone welcome back to the minecraft video today i’m going to be showing you how to download the minecraft 1.17 caves and cliffs data pack that is now available so basically as i said in a previous video the minecraft 1.17 caves and cliffs update has been split into

Two and the brand new snapshots will no longer have anything to do with cave generation or world generation of the increased height and if you want to use those features you have to download this data pack so as always i will fill the description with all the

Instructions and the links that you will need to follow along with this video so basically first of all you need to go on to the minecraft website and find this specific blog minecraft snapshot 21w15a uh just scroll down to this part right here so the cave and cliffs prototype

Datapack you can still try out the world generation for the later update using a data pack which activates the changes as an experimental custom world all you need to do is click on this download the datapack link this will download to your downloads folder or your desktop or wherever

You have it you can see it’s downloaded right here and to make things easier for yourself you can go ahead and drag the zip file from your downloads folder onto your desktop next you’ll want to open the minecraft launcher okay and once you’ve got the minecraft launcher open

You need to make sure that you’re on the latest snapshot if you want to know how to do that you go to installations and then either make another installation or there will be a latest snapshot default one right here that you can click on but i’ve just made one for myself here

And then you press play to launch it once minecraft has opened you’ll need to create a brand new world to use the data pack in so you click on single player and then create a new world for example i’m just going to call it minecraft 1.17

Data pack then you need to click on the data packs button right here this will bring you to the data packs folder window you to open your pack folder you need to minimize this and drag the closing clips preview zip file into that folder then you can close that

And reopen minecraft and you should see the data pack right here there we go you then click the arrow to activate it and press done okay and once you’ve done that i’m going to go into creative mode just to make it easier and then you create the world you will

See this message popping up because this is experimental data pack but this is fine just press proceed and your minecraft world will start to generate we can then verify that the data pack has been added to the world by changing the game mode to spectator and going into the world and seeing the

Brand new cave generation so you can see right here we have some liking if we go around we can see we have some really deep dark caves down here that go all the way down look at that so that is how we verify and some deep slate right here in some

Deep flake cobblestone and i can prove this again by giving myself the night vision effect at p minecraft night vision let’s do three thousand three amplifier and false there we go and there you go you have the brand new 1.17 k generation you can also make sure

Or double check you have the data pack installed by doing slash data pack if you do slash data pack you can see the list right here oh sorry i didn’t actually type it in there list and you can see right there that we have two data packs enabled we have the

Vanilla built in data pack and we have the cave and cliffs preview zip world data pack enabled as well so i hope this video has helped you and i will see you in this video peace out you
