Mojang has finally released the first snapshots of the Caves and Cliffs update for Minecraft 1.17 (20w48a). It adds new amethyst blocks, powder snow and dripstone.
Amethyst clusters can be mined underground in special cave formations that are absolutely stunning. Powder snow can be used to freeze monsters and other players. And dripstone is still being added, which means it's only available in creative mode at the moment.
With that in mind, this month's list focuses on the new update, showcasing some of the best seeds that represent the beauty of Caves and Cliffs and its additions.
