Minecraft PE 1.17.30

We are happy that you visited our website today because we have very important news for you. The Mojang team did a very good job at developing two big versions. One of them is Minecraft Bedrock 1.17.40.21 and it is a full version. It contains a lot of features, so before starting reading them, we recommend you grab a cup of tea and perhaps a snack.

This release contains many interesting new features and a lot more, but of course, we will begin with what’s most important:

• A new gamerule called “Respawn Blocks Explode”. Its aim is to not let the beds and the respawning anchors explode.
  
  
  
  
• A new mode called Corner Mode that, when applied on with “detect”, highlights the area you want to save and it detects those corner blocks (it has to have the same name as the area).
  

In this version, the MCPE developers introduced several features from the Caves and Cliffs update part II. To enjoy them, don’t forget to turn on the Experimental Features. The features we are talking about are:

• Monsters spawning only when there is no light source around inside caves. This way the players will be able to explore these places safely when having a light source with them.
  
• The algorithm of terrain and biome generation was worked on and now it looks much better than before
  
• The surface of blocks, namely the difference between the blocks spawning in water and on land was improved
  
• The ore veins were enlarged, this giving the player more mining possibilities
  
• Noodle Caves. These noodle-shaped caves will serve as corridors between other kinds of bigger caves
  
• New ability to detect a perfect spawn spot close to the origin
  
• The Achievements screen was slightly improved and was re-located. Now you can find it on the screens of the Main Menu and Pause
