Minecraft has published Snapshot 21w08a, the latest Java Edition snapshot for the 1.17 Caves & Cliffs Update!
This update makes more changes to cave generation and ore distribution, renames Grimstone to Deepslate, and introduces a new texture while keeping a Cobbled Deepslate block in play. There are also Deepslate Ores which act like regular ores, but with the Deepslate background texture!
Diamonds and other ores are still available in cave floors and walls, but will often be hidden from the player, encouraging you to go mining in the vast caves below Y=0. Tuff now generates in patches instead of Andesite, and Smooth Basalt has been added as an outer layer of Amethyst Geodes!
There are also changes to ore textures, cave interactions, and the particle effect around spore blossoms.
In this video, I explore these features in Survival Minecraft before going into Spectator and Creative mode for side-by-side comparisons of new blocks.
There's plenty more to these updates, and you can find the full changelog here: [ Ссылка ]
