A new batch of bugs are being squashed with the latest Minecraft beta
Minecraft may have just dropped the humungous 1.17 Caves and Cliffs Update Part One on every platform, but Mojang Studios’ work isn’t done yet. They recently released Minecraft: Bedrock Edition Beta 1.17.10.23, which includes some more bug fixes and improvements for the Caves and Cliffs Update. Don’t expect any new features so soon after the last public release, although Beta 1.17.10.22 did add candles earlier this month.
Once Mojang Studios is comfortable with the bug fixes they’ve tested and the state of candles, they’ll likely release all of these changes and improvements in a Caves and Cliffs Update patch in the coming weeks. For now, however, we have to be content with testing Mojang Studios’ betas and submitting feedback whenever we encounter any lingering issues.

Xbox Game Pass is Microsoft’s biggest opportunity since Windows itself
At E3 2021, Microsoft outlined its vision for moving beyond its console install base, capturing audiences who can’t buy, or simply don’t want to buy, a video game console. The opportunity Microsoft has here is potentially huge, on a scale unlike anything the company has seen since Windows itself.
