Minecraft 1.17-rc2

07 Jun 2021

The second (and probably final) pre-release is out. The changelog says, “fixed a few critical issues”, but now we know what those critical issues are. See the changelog.

“Critical Issues”

• Blocked loading skins from education.minecraft.net and bugs.mojang.com
• Added error handling (crash fix) for dispensing spawn eggs
• Improved error handling (crash fix) for opening the JAR as a resource pack
• Crash fix for placing blocks (podzol) under trees during levelgen

Thanks to skyrising#1562 in #snapshot-discussion on the SciCraft Discord for some of this information.
