Minecraft Patch Notes 1.17.1

Minecraft Patch Notes 1.17.1

Here are the patch notes for both Java & Bedrock editions:

Java Edition 1.17.1

General

Death messages
  • Two previously untranslated death messages for some underwater mobs have given messages:
    • <Name> died from dehydration
    • <Name> died from dehydration whilst trying to escape <Name>
Languages
  • Added Classical Chinese.

Changes

Blocks
Cauldrons
  • Powder snow now fills cauldrons twice as fast as before.
Items
Spyglass
  • Tweaked held model texture to include glass on the backside.

Mobs

Axolotl
  • Blue axolotls now only spawn through breeding.
Drowned
  • Increased the drop probability of a copper ingot from 5% to 11%, and increased the drop rate with each level of Looting from 1% to 2%.
    • This change is to match Bedrock Edition’s drop rates.
Goats
  • Breeding common goats now have a 2% chance to produce screaming goats.
  • Status effects applied to goats now also apply when the goat is jumping or ramming.
Zombies, Zombie Villagers, Husks, and Drowned
  • No longer pick up glow ink sacs.
    • This prevents zombies from persisting after picking up the loot of a dead glow squid.

General

Protocol
  • Handshake packet padding method for “hostname” and “port” field has reverted to pre-1.17 when the server address which used is an SRV record.
    • Now, data padded in these fields will use the address and port which SRV record pointed at, instead of using “server address” as “hostname” and 25565 as “port”.
Fonts
  • Some new characters have been added.
    • Includes several currency symbols and some new emoji.
    • The new characters are: ✂🍖🪣🔔⏳⚑₠₡₢₣₤₥₦₩₫₭₮₰₱₲₳₵₶₷₸₹₺₻₼₿
Languages
  • Removed the following languages due to incomplete translations:
    • East Allgovian German
    • Manx
    • Sicilian
Logging
  • Deaths of named mobs are now logged.
