Minecraft updates: The latest Java and Bedrock patch notes

Looking for the latest Minecraft updates and patch notes? There are two versions of Minecraft that are often updated at different times. Minecraft Java Edition is the original standalone PC version and is often the first to get updated. Bedrock is the newer version made specifically for Windows 10, consoles, and mobile devices, and the most crucial difference is that this version isn't open to modding, but does support crossplay.

If this is your first visit, you've stumbled across our running catalogue of what's new in both versions of Minecraft. You can read up on Minecraft Java updates on this page, or head straight to the second page for Minecraft Bedrock patch notes.

Of course, the current buzz is surrounding the imminent release of part one of the Minecraft Caves & Cliffs update, set to launch on June 8 for both Java and Bedrock Editions. The second part of the update is due later this year, but there's still plenty of new stuff to look forward to with next week's update, including angry goats, the axolotl mob, and various new blocks. If you want to know the latest, read on to find out what the next update will offer.

Upcoming: Java update 1.17 Caves & Cliffs

Minecraft update: Caves & Cliffs Axolotls — (Image credit: Mojang)

Minecraft's next major update is called Caves & Cliffs, and is set to bring a lot of big changes to (you guessed it) the game's caves and cliffs. Because of the size of the update, Mojang since decided to split the update into two parts. The first part releases on June 8 while the second part of the update arrives later this year.

As well as the much-requested 'copper block', other block types are being added with part one of the update next week, as well as the new mobs: goats and axolotl. Additionally, while squids are already in the game, the addition of glowing squids will be brand new, and have been shown off in content snapshot 21W03A. Since the underwater caves are pretty dark, you'll be able to spot these glowing squids "from even far distances", which should make them easier to hunt. If you're planning on hunting them, though, get in line: Axolotls will be found near glowing squids, too, since they love to attack them.

Should you beat the axolotls to the punch, you can harvest ink from these glowing squids once you kill them. This ink can be used on signs, or to craft a glow item frame.

Part two of the update—pegged for later this year—is when caves will get their own new biomes like the lovely Lush Caves and the much spookier Deep Dark biome where the new Warden mob lives.

Minecraft Java's first big update following this year's Nether Update adds a few Nether-related features and more accessibility options. The start of the show is the brand new mob, the so-tough-it-doesn't-need armor Piglin Brute. It's big, mean, and carries an axe. Hey Mojang, why can't we carry axes?

New Nether Biomes

Basalt Deltas
Remnants of volcanic eruptions, this biome sports a high concentration of basalt columns and lava deltas. Walking through it, you will be surrounded by flowing flakes of white ash. Magma cubes finally have their own home and spawn very frequently here. A new block, blackstone, can be found here in large patches.

Crimson Forest
Crimson nylium carpets the cave floor with all kinds of strange new vegetation. Crimson nylium can be bonemealed to get more of this strange new vegetation. Huge crimson fungi make up the "trees" of this forest, with Shroomlights lighting up the forest floor. Nether wart blocks can be cleared quickly using a hoe. Weeping vines grow from the cave ceilings and fungi. Hoglins wander these forests. Crimson spores swirl through the air.

Soulsand Valley
An open space made mostly of soul sand and soul soil. Basalt pillars span from floor to ceiling. Fossil remains of unknown creatures from the past litter the valley. Ash falls through the air. A light blue glow envelopes the valley. Beware of skeletons here.

Warped Forest
Warped nylium carpets the cave floor with all kinds of strange new vegetation. Warped nylium can be bonemealed to get more of the strange new vegetation. Huge warped fungi make up the "trees" of this forest, with Shroomlights lighting up the forest floor. Warped wart blocks can be cleared quickly using a hoe. A dark blue fog covers the forest. Warped spores swirl through the air. The Warped Forests are strange, but also the least hostile place in the Nether.

New Nether Mobs

Hoglin

Hoglins are big aggressive beasts that live in crimson forests in the Nether
They attack players on sight. Be careful – they can easily knock you off a ledge!
Hoglins drop pork and sometimes leather, but not willingly
You can breed Hoglins by feeding them crimson fungi. Do so at your own risk
Hoglins get hunted by Piglins sometimes, but they don't go down without a fight
Despite this, Hoglins and Piglins aren't enemies – more like an ecosystem
Baby Hoglins like to pretend they are tough – but don't worry, they're more bark than bite
Want to keep Hoglins off your back? Pro tip: Hoglins hate the smell of warped fungi
Hoglins that somehow end up in the Overworld become Zoglins fairly quickly – but who would ever bring a Hoglin to the Overworld?

Zoglin

Zoglins are zombified Hoglins – the result of bringing a Hoglin into the Overworld
Unlike Hoglins, they can't be bred or fed, and they don't care about warped fungus
Beware – these beasts are raving mad and attack just about everything they see!

Piglin

Piglins are an aggressive civilization that lives in the Nether
They mostly hang around in Crimson Forests, but you might find some in the Nether Wastes too
They think of players as target practice and will attack on sight
However, if you dress appropriately, they will see you as a respectable figure. Or tolerable at least
Piglins are suspicious of strangers. If they see you opening a chest or other container, they will assume that you're stealing and will treat you accordingly
If Piglins hear you break a chest or a block of gold (or similar), they will also assume you are stealing
Piglins LOVE gold and get very distracted by gold items
Gold ingots are currency to Piglins. Throw ingots at them, or right-click them with an ingot, to barter for various goods
Piglins sometimes get hungry and hunt Hoglins for food. Or they try at least. They results... vary.
Piglins prefer to hunt and fight in groups. When a fight is happening, everyone wants in
Piglins that somehow end up in the Overworld become zombified fairly quickly
Piglins are creeped out by soul fire and Zombified Piglins, and will avoid them if possible
Wither skeletons and Withers are historic enemies of the Piglins and will be attacked on sight
Baby Piglins are not as dangerous, but they can be mischievous, so watch your back
- ...and they like to play with Baby Hoglins
...and they like to play with Baby Hoglins
Added a Piglin banner pattern that can be found in bastion remnants

Zombified Piglin

Zombie Pigmen are now known as Zombified Piglins, and they now have ears. Well, at least one ear
Zombified Piglins no longer attack innocent bystanders (unless you enable gamerule universalAnger)
Zombified Piglins stop being angry if the targeted player dies nearby (unless you disable gamerule forgiveDeadPlayers)
Zombified Piglins continuously spread to other Zombified Piglins, as long as they see their target

Strider

Strides on top of the surface of lava
Can be saddled, but has a will of its own
Really likes the smell of warped fungi – might even be convinced to follow it

Nether Update new blocks

Added crying obsidian. It's sad and cries purple energy
Added basalt. Craft it 2x2 or use a stone cutter to create clean and shiny polished basalt!
Added blackstone, along with its variants: regular, polished, and polished brick
- Blackstone can be used to craft furnaces and stone tools
Blackstone can be used to craft furnaces and stone tools
Blackstone can be used to craft furnaces and stone tools

Added two new non-flammable wood-like blocks: crimson stems and warped stems
Added crimson and warped hyphae – all-sided "stem" blocks, including stripped variations
Added new ground surface blocks: crimson nylium and warped nylium
Added new vegetation: Nether sprouts, crimson roots, and warped roots
Added two types of fungi: crimson and warped. Try using bone meal to grow them!
- You can place crimson and warped roots and fungi into pots

Added weeping vines that grow from the bottom of a block downwards

- The Wither can now be summoned using soul soil as base
Soul soil and soul sand can be used to craft soul torches, which in turn can be crafted into soul lanterns
The Wither can now be summoned using soul soil as base
Soul soil and soul sand can be used to craft soul torches, which in turn can be crafted into soul lanterns
The Wither can now be summoned using soul soil as base
Added soul campfires. Warm your buns with the heat of one thousand souls!
Added chain blocks
Added Lodestone. Crafted from a Netherite ingot and chiseled stone bricks
Use a compass on a lodestone to create a lodestone compass, which will point to that lodestone

Netherite

Mine ancient debris in the lower depths of the Nether. At your own risk though. No insurance coverage for that
Combine four Netherite scrap with four gold ingots in a crafting table to make a Netherite ingot
Refine it into Netherite scrap in a furnace or blast furnace
Use a smithing table to fuse the Netherite ingot with your diamond weapon, tool, or armor
Netherite items float in lava – just so you don't lose all your gear after that unplanned lava bath
Netherite items have higher enchantment value than diamond (but not as high as gold)
Netherite tools work faster and last longer than diamond
Netherite weapons do more damage than diamond
Netherite armor have higher toughness and durability than diamond
Netherite armor gives you knockback resistance, so you barely get knocked back at all when hit by arrows and such
Netherite blocks can be used as the base of a beacon and Netherite ingots can be used as the fuel for a beacon.

Soul Speed

Shine your boots of choice with this soul-sucking enchantment to speed around on soul sand and soul soil
However, there's a downside: enchantments will slowly degrade your boots each soul block you walk on
Can only be obtained by bartering with those pesky Piglins

Bastion Remnants

Added four separate bastion remnant types: bridge, Hoglin stable, housing units, and treasure room
You can find these sizable structures in all Nether biomes, except the treacherous ash-dusted regions of Basalt Deltas
Explore, loot, and conquer a bastion remnant to call it your home – but beware! Piglins don't take kindly to intruders stealing their possessions

Ruined Portals

They can be found in any Overworld or Nether biome
Some are hidden underground, under the sea, or buried in sand

Nether Update mob anger rules

Forgive Dead Players

If this gamerule is disabled, then angered mobs will stay angry even if the targeted player dies
If both forgiveDeadPlayers and universalAnger are enabled, an angered neutral mob will stop being angry when their target dies. They won't seek any new targets after that
Notable exception: Angered Zombified Piglins continuously spread anger. So even if one Zombified Piglin stops being angry because its target died, other angered Zombified Piglins nearby are likely to make it angry again. The only way to stop the anger is if none of the angered Zombified Piglins see a player for a while

Neutral Mob Anger
Updated anger management for most neutral mobs (polar bear, wolf, bee, Enderman, Piglin, Zombified Piglin).

When hurt by a player, the neutral mob will target that player and try to kill it
The mob will stay angry until the player is dead or out of sight for a while
Anger is persistent, so a player can't escape by temporarily logging out or switching dimension
If a targeted player dies near the angered mob, it will stop being angry (unless forgiveDeadPlayers is disabled)
Neutral mobs also get angry at other mobs who hurt them. However, that anger is not persistent
Angered neutral mobs will only attack the offending player, not innocent bystanders
- Notable exception: If a beehive or nest is broken, the bees will be angry at all nearby players
Notable exception: If a beehive or nest is broken, the bees will be angry at all nearby players
Notable exception: If a beehive or nest is broken, the bees will be angry at all nearby players
Some mobs spread anger (wolf, Zombified Piglin, Piglin, bee). If a player attacks one, all nearby mobs of the same type will get angry at that player

Universal Anger
Universal anger is basically guilt by association. A neutral mob attacked by players will be angry at players in general, regardless of who attacked them.

A neutral mob attacked by a player will target the nearest player, even if that player wasn't the attacker
Every time the neutral mob is hit by a player it will update its attack target to the nearest player
Players can use this to make neutral mobs attack other players. Who would ever do something that devious?
Universal anger does not apply when a neutral mob is attacked by another mob - only when it is attacked by a player
Universal anger is persistent. The angered mob will stay angry even if the player logs out and logs in, or jumps through a portal and back
Mobs that spread anger will also spread universal anger. So if a player attacks a Zombified Piglin, all other Zombified Piglins within sight will be universally angry and attack their nearest player
An angered neutral mob will stop being angry if it can't see any eligible target for a while

A wire on top of a block, which is redirected from below, will now power the sides it is redirected to. E.g. a fence gate above the redirecting wire will be powered

Hold F3 and tap F4 to open the menu
Tapping F4 will cycle the game mode, or you can use the mouse

On this page we've collected the patch notes for the latest Minecraft Bedrock update. Bedrock was once known as Pocket Edition and Windows 10 Edition, and is the version of Minecraft distributed across mobile, consoles, and all sorts of platforms. It has some advantages over Java Edition, like dramatically better performance, but many of the best Minecraft mods are still built for the classic Java version, and Bedrock is still catching up to Java's latest features.

Here's an up-to-date list of Minecraft Bedrock's patch notes.

Minecraft Bedrock update 1.17.0

New Features

Axolotl

Axolotls are amphibious creatures that spawn in underground water
Holding a Bucket of Tropical Fish will cause nearby Axolotls to follow the player on both land and in water. Axolotls cannot be tamed but can be bred by feeding them Buckets of Tropical Fish
Axolotl will attack Fish, Squid, Drowned, and Guardians!
Axolotls come in a variety of colors, all with an equal chance of spawning except for blue. Blue Axolotls have a small chance of spawning as a mutation when breeding two Axolotls
Axolotls can survive on dry land for a few minutes. After that they will start to dry out and take continuous damage until rehydrated
When taking damage, there is a chance that the Axolotl will play dead. While playing dead, the Axolotl will regenerate health and mobs will be unable to target the Axolotl
When a player kills a mob that the Axolotl was attacking, they are rewarded with the regeneration effect and their mining fatigue is removed, if they had it
Axolotls can be picked up with buckets, just like fish!

Goat

For now, Goats spawn in Extreme Hills. This will change with Caves & Cliffs: Part II

Powder Snow

Mobs inside a block of powder snow start to freeze and eventually take damage
Players can protect themselves from powder snow by equipping leather armor
Cauldrons fill up in snowy weather, creating a renewable source of powder snow. It will also generate naturally in certain snowy biomes when Caves & Cliffs: Part II releases
Buckets can be used to scoop up and place powder snow
Most mobs cannot walk on powder snow and fall into the block instead
Skeletons transform into strays after standing in powder snow for awhile
Wearing Leather Boots allows a player or mob to walk on Powder Snow without falling in

Glow Lichen

A dim light source that appears on cave walls and in underground lakes
Use bone meal to spread it along block surfaces and harvest it using shears

Amethyst Geodes

These huge Geodes can be found anywhere underground of newly generated chunks in the Overworld
Amethyst Geodes have an outer layer of Smooth Basalt Blocks and a second layer of Calcite Blocks
Inside Geodes, there is an inner layer of various Amethyst Blocks
All types of Amethyst blocks (including Clusters) create beautiful sounds when you walk on them, break them, place them, or hit them with a projectile – go make some music!
Amethyst comes in block form inside the Geodes in two ways: Block of Amethyst Block and Budding Amethyst

Amethyst Clusters

Amethyst Clusters grow from budding Amethyst, which can be found inside Geodes
Clusters have four growth stages: Small Amethyst Bud, Medium Amethyst Bud, Large Amethyst Bud, and Amethyst Cluster
Fully-grown Amethyst clusters drop four Amethyst Shards (or more with the Fortune enchantment) when a Pickaxe is used, and drop two Amethyst Shards when broken by hand, Piston, or other means
Clusters can be mined with the Silk Touch enchantment at any stage of growth

Budding Amethyst

On any side of a Budding Amethyst Block where there is air or a water source block, a Small Amethyst Bud will eventually grow
Amethyst Buds can only grow when attached to Budding Amethyst, and will grow until they become a full Amethyst Cluster

Cluster Amethyst Blocks

Clusters can only grow when they are placed on budding Amethyst Blocks

Amethyst Shards

Amethyst Shards are items used in a variety of crafting recipes

Tinted Glass

Though visually transparent, light does not pass through Tinted Glass
Can be crafted by putting a Glass Block in the middle of four Amethyst Shards on a Crafting Table
Tinted Glass can be obtained without the Silk Touch enchantment and does not shatter when broken, like normal Glass

Copper

Copper Ore can now be found underground in newly generated chunks and can be smelted into Copper Ingots
Block of Copper and Cut Copper can be crafted, as well as stairs and slabs
After being placed in the world, Copper Blocks will oxidize slowly over time, turning to exposed Copper, Weathered Copper, and Oxidized Copper
Copper Blocks that are not fully oxidized can be waxed to prevent further oxidation, either by using a Honeycomb item on them, by using the crafting grid, or by using a Dispenser loaded with Honeycombs
Axes can scrape off wax and oxidation from Copper Blocks

Lightning Rod

All lightning strikes that happen within a radius of 64 blocks from a Lightning Rod will strike the Lightning Rod
Lightning rods can be crafted using Copper ingots in a Crafting Table
A Lightning Rod struck by lightning will emit a full Redstone signal for 8 game ticks

Raw Ore Items

Added Raw Copper, Raw Iron, and Raw Gold items
Ores that are smeltable now drop raw item forms of the ore instead of the ore block, and these can be smelted just like before
This is to prevent cluttering the inventory and have consistency with Fortune on all ores
Ore blocks are still smeltable, meaning you can still smelt ore blocks you've obtained previously or with the Silk Touch enchantment

Raw Ore Blocks

Added block of Raw Copper, Raw Iron, and Raw Gold
Just like other ore materials, you can craft a compact block with raw ore items to save inventory space or use as decoration
Raw ore blocks can be placed on a crafting grid to break down into the original raw ore items

Mining it with a Pickaxe will drop Cobbled Deepslate, which can be smelted back into Deepslate

Deepslate Blocks can be crafted into Polished Deepslate, Deepslate Tile, and Deepslate Brick Blocks, including slabs, stairs, and walls
Deepslate Blocks also come in Cracked Tile, Cracked Brick, Chiseled, and Infested variants
Stone tools can be crafted using Cobbled Deepslate

Changes to Pack Manifests

As of 1.13, we have made some changes to the pack manifest with a new format version of "2". We recommend that any new packs or world templates that you create use format version of 2 from now on. With this new format, there are a few additional changes to be aware of, detailed below

All Pack Types

The 'name' field in the header is now required for all pieces of content

World Templates

The 'lock_template_options' field is now required. This Boolean field determines whether the world options for your template should be locked to default values when a player creates a world from the template. They can still choose to unlock and modify the options, but will be warned that doing so could affect gameplay

The 'base_game_version' field is required (see below for more info)

The 'min_engine_version' field should no longer be used as it isn't parsed on world templates and produces a warning on import

Resource and Behavior Packs

The 'min_engine_version' field is now required. This affects how the game interprets some of the assets loaded from Resource and Behavior Packs. We recommend using the latest available version of the game for this field (e.g. '[1, 13, 0]') to ensure your pack works correctly

Base Game Version Field

For this field, we recommend using the value "*". This will ensure that anyone using your content in their Minecraft worlds will always get the latest base game (Vanilla) content when an update is available.

In the case that your content relies on specific base game behavior, you can use this field to specify a base game version, starting with 1.13. If you choose to do this, you should omit the third octet; for example, if the version of the game you are targeting is '[1, 14, 2]', you would specify a version of '[1, 14, 0]'). If you specify a version this way, any worlds using your custom content will not get new base game content when it becomes available in future releases, which could help prevent unwanted changes to behavior in your content caused by updates to the base game. However, we still recommend using the "*" value to ensure players can continue to enjoy your content in their Minecraft worlds long-term while also receiving updates to the base game.

New Nether Biomes

New Nether Mobs

Hoglin

Hoglins are big aggressive beasts that live in crimson forests in the Nether
They attack players on sight. Be careful – they can easily knock you off a ledge!
Hoglins drop pork and sometimes leather, but not willingly
You can breed Hoglins by feeding them crimson fungi. Do so at your own risk
Hoglins get hunted by Piglins sometimes, but they don't go down without a fight
Despite this, Hoglins and Piglins aren't enemies – more like an ecosystem
Baby Hoglins like to pretend they are tough – but don't worry, they're more bark than bite
Want to keep Hoglins off your back? Pro tip: Hoglins hate the smell of warped fungi
Hoglins that somehow end up in the Overworld become Zoglins fairly quickly – but who would ever bring a Hoglin to the Overworld?

Zoglin

Zoglins are zombified Hoglins – the result of bringing a Hoglin into the Overworld
Unlike Hoglins, they can't be bred or fed, and they don't care about warped fungus
Beware – these beasts are raving mad and attack just about everything they see!

Piglin

Piglins are an aggressive civilization that lives in the Nether
They mostly hang around in Crimson Forests, but you might find some in the Nether Wastes too
They think of players as target practice and will attack on sight
However, if you dress appropriately, they will see you as a respectable figure. Or tolerable at least
Piglins are suspicious of strangers. If they see you opening a chest or other container, they will assume that you're stealing and will treat you accordingly
If Piglins hear you break a chest or a block of gold (or similar), they will also assume you are stealing
Piglins LOVE gold and get very distracted by gold items
Gold ingots are currency to Piglins. Throw ingots at them, or right-click them with an ingot, to barter for various goods
Piglins sometimes get hungry and hunt Hoglins for food. Or they try at least. They results... vary.
Piglins prefer to hunt and fight in groups. When a fight is happening, everyone wants in
Piglins that somehow end up in the Overworld become zombified fairly quickly
Piglins are creeped out by soul fire and Zombified Piglins, and will avoid them if possible
Wither skeletons and Withers are historic enemies of the Piglins and will be attacked on sight
Baby Piglins are not as dangerous, but they can be mischievous, so watch your back
- ...and they like to play with Baby Hoglins
...and they like to play with Baby Hoglins
Added a Piglin banner pattern that can be found in bastion remnants

Zombified Piglin

Zombie Pigmen are now known as Zombified Piglins, and they now have ears. Well, at least one ear
Zombified Piglins no longer attack innocent bystanders (unless you enable gamerule universalAnger)
Zombified Piglins stop being angry if the targeted player dies nearby (unless you disable gamerule forgiveDeadPlayers)
Zombified Piglins continuously spread to other Zombified Piglins, as long as they see their target

Strider

Strides on top of the surface of lava
Can be saddled, but has a will of its own
Really likes the smell of warped fungi – might even be convinced to follow it

Nether Update new blocks

Soul soil and soul sand can be used to craft soul torches, which in turn can be crafted into soul lanterns
The Wither can now be summoned using soul soil as base
Added soul campfires. Warm your buns with the heat of one thousand souls!
Added chain blocks
Added Lodestone. Crafted from a Netherite ingot and chiseled stone bricks
Use a compass on a lodestone to create a lodestone compass, which will point to that lodestone

Netherite

Mine ancient debris in the lower depths of the Nether. At your own risk though. No insurance coverage for that
Combine four Netherite scrap with four gold ingots in a crafting table to make a Netherite ingot
Refine it into Netherite scrap in a furnace or blast furnace
Use a smithing table to fuse the Netherite ingot with your diamond weapon, tool, or armor
Netherite items float in lava – just so you don't lose all your gear after that unplanned lava bath
Netherite items have higher enchantment value than diamond (but not as high as gold)
Netherite tools work faster and last longer than diamond
Netherite weapons do more damage than diamond
Netherite armor have higher toughness and durability than diamond
Netherite armor gives you knockback resistance, so you barely get knocked back at all when hit by arrows and such
Netherite blocks can be used as the base of a beacon and Netherite ingots can be used as the fuel for a beacon.

Soul Speed

Shine your boots of choice with this soul-sucking enchantment to speed around on soul sand and soul soil
However, there's a downside: enchantments will slowly degrade your boots each soul block you walk on
Can only be obtained by bartering with those pesky Piglins

Bastion Remnants

Added four separate bastion remnant types: bridge, Hoglin stable, housing units, and treasure room
You can find these sizable structures in all Nether biomes, except the treacherous ash-dusted regions of Basalt Deltas
Explore, loot, and conquer a bastion remnant to call it your home – but beware! Piglins don't take kindly to intruders stealing their possessions

Ruined Portals

They can be found in any Overworld or Nether biome
Some are hidden underground, under the sea, or buried in sand

Nether Update mob anger rules

Forgive Dead Players

If this gamerule is disabled, then angered mobs will stay angry even if the targeted player dies
If both forgiveDeadPlayers and universalAnger are enabled, an angered neutral mob will stop being angry when their target dies. They won't seek any new targets after that
Notable exception: Angered Zombified Piglins continuously spread anger. So even if one Zombified Piglin stops being angry because its target died, other angered Zombified Piglins nearby are likely to make it angry again. The only way to stop the anger is if none of the angered Zombified Piglins see a player for a while

Neutral Mob Anger
Updated anger management for most neutral mobs (polar bear, wolf, bee, Enderman, Piglin, Zombified Piglin).

When hurt by a player, the neutral mob will target that player and try to kill it
The mob will stay angry until the player is dead or out of sight for a while
Anger is persistent, so a player can't escape by temporarily logging out or switching dimension
If a targeted player dies near the angered mob, it will stop being angry (unless forgiveDeadPlayers is disabled)
Neutral mobs also get angry at other mobs who hurt them. However, that anger is not persistent
Angered neutral mobs will only attack the offending player, not innocent bystanders
- Notable exception: If a beehive or nest is broken, the bees will be angry at all nearby players
Notable exception: If a beehive or nest is broken, the bees will be angry at all nearby players
Notable exception: If a beehive or nest is broken, the bees will be angry at all nearby players
Some mobs spread anger (wolf, Zombified Piglin, Piglin, bee). If a player attacks one, all nearby mobs of the same type will get angry at that player

Universal Anger
Universal anger is basically guilt by association. A neutral mob attacked by players will be angry at players in general, regardless of who attacked them.

A neutral mob attacked by a player will target the nearest player, even if that player wasn't the attacker
Every time the neutral mob is hit by a player it will update its attack target to the nearest player
Players can use this to make neutral mobs attack other players. Who would ever do something that devious?
Universal anger does not apply when a neutral mob is attacked by another mob - only when it is attacked by a player
Universal anger is persistent. The angered mob will stay angry even if the player logs out and logs in, or jumps through a portal and back
Mobs that spread anger will also spread universal anger. So if a player attacks a Zombified Piglin, all other Zombified Piglins within sight will be universally angry and attack their nearest player
An angered neutral mob will stop being angry if it can't see any eligible target for a while

Minecraft Bedrock update 1.17.0

New Features

Axolotl

Axolotls are amphibious creatures that spawn in underground water
Holding a Bucket of Tropical Fish will cause nearby Axolotls to follow the player on both land and in water. Axolotls cannot be tamed but can be bred by feeding them Buckets of Tropical Fish
Axolotl will attack Fish, Squid, Drowned, and Guardians!
Axolotls come in a variety of colors, all with an equal chance of spawning except for blue. Blue Axolotls have a small chance of spawning as a mutation when breeding two Axolotls
Axolotls can survive on dry land for a few minutes. After that they will start to dry out and take continuous damage until rehydrated
When taking damage, there is a chance that the Axolotl will play dead. While playing dead, the Axolotl will regenerate health and mobs will be unable to target the Axolotl
When a player kills a mob that the Axolotl was attacking, they are rewarded with the regeneration effect and their mining fatigue is removed, if they had it
Axolotls can be picked up with buckets, just like fish!

Goat

The winning mob of the MINECON Live 2019 mob vote!
For now, Goats spawn in Extreme Hills. This will change with Caves & Cliffs: Part II
Goats will occasionally ram into players and other mobs
Goats can jump high and take less fall damage than other mobs
Goats will avoid walking onto Powder Snow
Goats can be bred and tempted using Wheat
Use an empty Bucket to get Milk
Keep an ear out for the elusive Screamer Goat!

Glow squids are aquatic creatures that spawn in underground water
When killed, glow squid drop Glow Ink Sacs

Glow Ink Sac and Glow Item Frame

Craft a Glow Item Frame by combining a glow ink sac with an item frame in a crafting table
Any item in a Glow Item Frame is perfectly illuminated, even at night!

Glow Ink Sac and Glowing Sign Text

If a Sign is interacted with a Glow Ink Sac, the text will then get a glowing effect

Powder Snow

Mobs inside a block of powder snow start to freeze and eventually take damage
Players can protect themselves from powder snow by equipping leather armor
Cauldrons fill up in snowy weather, creating a renewable source of powder snow. It will also generate naturally in certain snowy biomes when Caves & Cliffs: Part II releases
Buckets can be used to scoop up and place powder snow
Most mobs cannot walk on powder snow and fall into the block instead
Skeletons transform into strays after standing in powder snow for awhile
Wearing Leather Boots allows a player or mob to walk on Powder Snow without falling in

Glow Lichen

A dim light source that appears on cave walls and in underground lakes
Use bone meal to spread it along block surfaces and harvest it using shears

Amethyst Geodes

These huge Geodes can be found anywhere underground of newly generated chunks in the Overworld
Amethyst Geodes have an outer layer of Smooth Basalt Blocks and a second layer of Calcite Blocks
Inside Geodes, there is an inner layer of various Amethyst Blocks
All types of Amethyst blocks (including Clusters) create beautiful sounds when you walk on them, break them, place them, or hit them with a projectile – go make some music!
Amethyst comes in block form inside the Geodes in two ways: Block of Amethyst Block and Budding Amethyst

Amethyst Clusters

Amethyst Clusters grow from budding Amethyst, which can be found inside Geodes
Clusters have four growth stages: Small Amethyst Bud, Medium Amethyst Bud, Large Amethyst Bud, and Amethyst Cluster
Fully-grown Amethyst clusters drop four Amethyst Shards (or more with the Fortune enchantment) when a Pickaxe is used, and drop two Amethyst Shards when broken by hand, Piston, or other means
Clusters can be mined with the Silk Touch enchantment at any stage of growth

Budding Amethyst

On any side of a Budding Amethyst Block where there is air or a water source block, a Small Amethyst Bud will eventually grow
Amethyst Buds can only grow when attached to Budding Amethyst, and will grow until they become a full Amethyst Cluster

Cluster Amethyst Blocks

Clusters can only grow when they are placed on budding Amethyst Blocks

Amethyst Shards

Amethyst Shards are items used in a variety of crafting recipes

Tinted Glass

Though visually transparent, light does not pass through Tinted Glass
Can be crafted by putting a Glass Block in the middle of four Amethyst Shards on a Crafting Table
Tinted Glass can be obtained without the Silk Touch enchantment and does not shatter when broken, like normal Glass

Copper

Copper Ore can now be found underground in newly generated chunks and can be smelted into Copper Ingots
Block of Copper and Cut Copper can be crafted, as well as stairs and slabs
After being placed in the world, Copper Blocks will oxidize slowly over time, turning to exposed Copper, Weathered Copper, and Oxidized Copper
Copper Blocks that are not fully oxidized can be waxed to prevent further oxidation, either by using a Honeycomb item on them, by using the crafting grid, or by using a Dispenser loaded with Honeycombs
Axes can scrape off wax and oxidation from Copper Blocks

Lightning Rod

All lightning strikes that happen within a radius of 64 blocks from a Lightning Rod will strike the Lightning Rod
Lightning rods can be crafted using Copper ingots in a Crafting Table
A Lightning Rod struck by lightning will emit a full Redstone signal for 8 game ticks

Spyglass

The Spyglass is used to see far away places and can be crafted with Copper Ingots and an Amethyst Shard
Camera movement when looking through a Spyglass is slowed to make it more comfortable to use. This is adjustable using the Spyglass Damping slider in Settings on Bedrock Edition

Raw Ore Items

Added Raw Copper, Raw Iron, and Raw Gold items
Ores that are smeltable now drop raw item forms of the ore instead of the ore block, and these can be smelted just like before
This is to prevent cluttering the inventory and have consistency with Fortune on all ores
Ore blocks are still smeltable, meaning you can still smelt ore blocks you've obtained previously or with the Silk Touch enchantment

Raw Ore Blocks

Added block of Raw Copper, Raw Iron, and Raw Gold
Just like other ore materials, you can craft a compact block with raw ore items to save inventory space or use as decoration
Raw ore blocks can be placed on a crafting grid to break down into the original raw ore items

Deepslate

Deepslate is generated in blobs below y = 16
Mining it with a Pickaxe will drop Cobbled Deepslate, which can be smelted back into Deepslate
When ore is generated in the same place as Deepslate, Deepslate variants of that ore are now generated instead
Deepslate Blocks can be crafted into Polished Deepslate, Deepslate Tile, and Deepslate Brick Blocks, including slabs, stairs, and walls
Deepslate Blocks also come in Cracked Tile, Cracked Brick, Chiseled, and Infested variants
Stone tools can be crafted using Cobbled Deepslate

Tuff

A new decorative block
Blobs of Tuff Blocks generate in the world below y = 16

Smooth Basalt

Basalt blocks can now be smelted into smooth basalt blocks as a new decorative block

New Cave Blocks

If a stalactite and stalagmite touch, they will connect into a full column

Dripleaf

Small Dripleaf will grow into Big Dripleaf when fertilized with Bone Meal
Big Dripleaf is a platforming block. Players and mobs on top of the block will cause the block to tilt and drop

Moss Block and Moss Carpet

The Hoe is the most efficient tool to harvest Moss Blocks and Moss Carpet

Azalea

Azalea and Flowering Azaleas are new decorative plants
Azaleas have a chance of growing after using Bone Meal on Moss Blocks
Fertilizing an Azalea with Bone Meal will transform it into a tree with Azalea Leaves and Flowered Azalea Leaves, which can be harvested using Shears
Azalea and Flowering Azalea can also be used as Furnace fuel

Rooted Dirt and Hanging Roots

Tilling Rooted Dirt with a Hoe turns the block to normal Dirt and drops Hanging Roots
