Minecraft 1.17.20.22: Main features of the update

The developers at Mojang Studios continue to work hard on the Caves & Cliffs update. Minecraft 1.17.20.22 has a large number of different interesting innovations. Also, the developers did not forget about the work on fixing errors. Thanks to this, the game becomes more comfortable and stable every time.

Amethyst

While searching for various precious materials in Minecraft 1.17.20.22, the player can find an amethyst geode. This is a new structure that consists of three layers: outer, middle, and inner. The outer layer is composed of smooth basalt, while the middle layer is composed of calcite. All the main things are in the inner layer.

Here, the user can find blooming amethyst, amethyst block, and buds. Also, sometimes there may be a crack in the amethyst geode. Through this crack, the player will be able to get directly into the inner layer. You only need to get amethyst with an iron, diamond, or netherite pickaxe.

Melting Ore Drops

Now in Minecraft PE 1.17.20.22, the extraction of precious materials will be slightly different. Raw metal will drop out of the ore.

To get an ingot familiar to the player, this metal must be melted in a furnace. After that, the player will be able to use the ingot to make various things.

Glowing lichen

While traveling through the underground world in Minecraft 1.17.20.22, the player may notice a faint glow on the walls. Coming closer, he will notice that this glow comes from the plant, which is rather unusual.

This plant is called a glowing lichen, and it helps the player very much in the early stages when there are not enough torches.

The glowing lichen emits light with a power of 7. By the way, the maximum light level in the game is 15. This plant does not spread naturally, so a bone meal is required.

Unlike lianas, the user will not be able to climb the lichen in Minecraft 1.17.20.22. Also, this plant cannot be flooded with water.
