Java Edition: Pre-Release 3

The last pre-release introduced a pesky bug.  Mojang was on it and released a new pre-release!  A few more bugs were fixed as well, but there may be more.  Continue to help out so we can have a near bug-free release of 1.17 part 1 on June 8th!

Changes in 1.17 Pre-Release 3

  • Tweaked the textures of lit candles
  • Mobs rammed by goats will no longer retaliate
  • Axolotls and Glow Squids now only spawn in total darkness and where there's a natural stone block less than 5 blocks below the spawning space
