Minecraft PE 1.17 All Features
Let's start with the axolotl, which looks very cute and somewhat like a friendly fish, but it specifically lures you into its trap. As soon as the player is in the water and gets close to him, you can be attacked. You can use this as a pet, but you will need to build a strong aquarium to do this. Goats are also very non-aggressive, but they can be dangerous when they start to take a run at the player. Powerful horns can do a lot of damage and also it will push you away for more than 5 blocks, so you need to make sure that the character is away from the abyss or deep pit. These goats also jump around the mountains like parkour masters, so this is one of the fastest mobs that can only be caught by trickery, such as using bait and traps. The Glowing Squid is a mob that was added as the winner from the voting during the Minecon 2020 event. You can get the glowing ink that you will need to craft glowing blocks or items. It also perfectly decorates the aquatic world, which allows you to build beautiful underground bases. Underground groves are generated in places where special trees grow. This tree is called azalea which has powerful roots that penetrate deep into the soil. In such places, beautiful openings are formed that are covered with moss, other small flowers and bushes. Additionally, you can find a small and large drop leaf, a pointed drop stone, cave vines and glowing berries, hanging roots, ingrained dirt, a moss carpet, and even a whole moss block. These are excellent additional decorative materials that can be used as both an exterior and an interior for your home. Among the main features are also listed luminous lichen, powdered snow and shale blocks, as well as amethyst geodes! All this is used to create one of the most useful devices - the telescope. Now you no longer need to install Zoom modifications or enlarge the image using the UI settings. You can also craft a more stylish updated glass with a tinted effect that will allow you to see everything that is happening from the inside, but from the outside it is not transparent, so that other players will not be able to look inside the room. Additionally, by exploring the updated cave biomes, you will be able to find new blocks that are copper ore. This material is used to craft the body of the telescope or to create special mechanisms whose main function is to be installed on the roof of the house and catch lightning. Next, the energy charge passes through the lightning rod into the ground or feeds your mechanisms. You can also create decorative buildings made of copper, because it has a very interesting feature associated with the oxidation of copper in the rain. So, gradually, the gold-rich copper will turn into a green block.
Next, we'll look at the full list of changes, hidden features of blocks and mobs, how it works, and where to use the new blocks.
Full List of Changes
Axolotl
Axolotls are creatures that spawn in underground lakes.
Use a bucket of tropical fish to lure them in. It can't be tamed, but such cute creatures can be bred by feeding them tropical fish.
This mob is hostile to other aquatic creatures and can also attack monsters.
You can get them with different body colors, but to get blue, you will have to cross other colors for a long time.
Axolotls can't exist without water. Just a few minutes is enough and they will start to take damage.
Keep in mind that these creatures are very cunning and can pretend to be dead. This allows them to get rid of the aggression of enemy mobs.
You can also help the Axolotl to get rid of the enemy mobs. For this, you will get health regeneration and reset the fatigue counter.
Fun fact, you can put them in a bucket like a fish.
Goat
As you know, this is the winner in the voting for a new mob that took place at the Minecon 2019 event.
You can find goats in the Extreme Hills of bios. But in the future, the list of spawn points will expand.

Also using a glowing ink bag and a sign, you can get text with a glowing effect that makes it easier to navigate at night or in dark places.
Powdered Snow
By placing mobs in such a block, you can freeze them, and they will also receive a small amount of damage while there.
To protect your character, you can wear leather armor.
Use buckets to move the snow powder.
Exotic and other unsuitable mobs do not have the ability to walk on such blocks, so they just fall inside.
Skeletons can change the behavior scripts after a short stay in the snow powder.
Use leather shoes to avoid falling inside.
Glow Lichen
It is one of the few underground light sources. Its dim light appears on the walls of caves and in underground lakes.
You can pick it up using scissors.
Amethyst Geodes
This is generated underground in all UpperWorld biomes.
This consists of two layers: the outer layer consists of smooth basalt blocks, and the second layer consists of calcite blocks.
Inside you can find a bunch of different amethyst blocks.
Various amethyst blocks create beautiful sounds during any interactions.
Amethyst clusters
Inside the geode, there is always a process of amethyst growth.
You can see that the clusters have different sizes: small, medium, large buds or Amethyst Cluster.
From fully grown amethyst clusters, you can get four Amethyst Shards.
Tinted Glass
The main feature of this glass is that it does not pass light rays.
To get this, place the glass block in the middle of the four Amethyst Shards in the crafting grid.
It doesn't break like normal glass, so you can get it back.
Copper
This ore is only generated in new underground biomes.
You can get ladders, slabs, or ordinary blocks made of copper.
By putting this under the open sky, the copper blocks will start to slowly oxidize.
Use wax to stop the oxidation process. By combining different stages of oxidation, you can build new creative buildings.
Use axes to remove wax from the surface of the blocks or to clean the surface from oxidation.
