Minecraft PE 1.17.20.20

The last two game versions contained, namely Minecraft PE 1.17.10.23 and Minecraft PE 1.17.2 contained ridiculously short lists of changes, but as we promised in the article about one of them, the MCPE developers prepared a more complex beta, that is Minecraft PE 1.17.20.20.

This time, the MCPE developers had much more work to do. They have:

• Introduced a tilt up sound for big dripleaves
  
• Removed the problem of wrong sounds playing when turtle eggs are placed on top of sand blocks
  
• Introduced the possibility to use a new audio slider to control many in-game sounds, for example walking on amethysts, moss, deepslate. This is also available for the sounds played when landing on blocks or when jumping on them.
  

In addition to all the above-described work on making our gameplay more comfortable and nice, the MCPE developers also carried out a number of technical fixes and changes. Some of them are:

• New events
