In this episode, DuDs and Jimbo discuss snapshot, 21w08a, for Minecraft 1.17, that tweaks cave sizes and generation further. Grimstone is now called Deepslate, and we now have Deepslate versions of Iron, Gold, Lapis, Redstone, and Diamond ores. Andesite has been changed out for Tuff, and the snapshot adds Smooth Basalt and Cobbled Deepslate. Also, we have a question from ChiefBigBear about which aspects of Minecraft DuDs and Jimbo thought they would hate when it was first announced but ended up really enjoying when it was eventually added to the game. Plus, a few random thoughts on 1.17 and Armour stands coming to life in Mending Minecraft.

In this episode, DuDs and Jimbo discuss snapshot, 21w06a, for Minecraft 1.17, that introduces a new cave generation, called the Noise caves, which come in two flavours the Cheese caves and the Spaghetti caves. Aquifers will also now become part of the generation, this is an area within a cave that has a local water level. Also, there are some big changes to world height and some smaller changes to Mineshafts and Dripleafs. Plus, we have a question from RebelJC about the idea of turning Zombies into Husks to farm sand (if that was to become an item they would drop).
