For starters, many bugs of the previous version have been removed, additional features have been added, and the game sensitivity has been improved to ensure an awesome gaming experience.
The new Minecraft game update is for both the Bedrock and Java Editions of the family-friendly franchise and can be downloaded on android devices as well as PCs and IOS.
So, let’s explore the new and exciting features that the developers of the game have added to one of the world’s best games.

The Features of Minecraft 1.17.10 Bedrock Edition

Blocks

Candles

The candles in this version are colorful and come in 16 dyed types with one yellowish undyed type. They are crafted with honeycomb and string and can be lit by any incendiary device. This Minecraft version allows you to place a maximum of 4 candles in one block up to a light level of 12.
You cannot place candles of different colors on the same block and only one can be used on an uneaten cake. However, if you eat the cake, then the candle goes out.

Mobs

Axolotl

In Minecraft 1.17.10, the Axolotls will produce a water bucket when fed with tropical fish. Also, the developers of the game have reduced the size of the Axolotl’s hitbox equal to the size of the mob.
Also, the Axolotls are completely motionless when playing dead so be vigilant.

Guardian and Elder Guardians

These mobs fire their lasers at the Axolotls if they find them active (not playing dead).

Drowned

The zombies now attack any Axolotl they see if they are not playing dead.

Goats

One very impressive feature is that the tempted goats in this version of the Minecraft game have the same velocity as those in the Java edition and have reduced fall damage as well.

Skeletons

When in powder snow for 20 seconds, the skeletons become stray, unlike the previous versions which took about 45 seconds.

Non Mobs

End Crystals

The updated version of the game has seen a change in the models to contain three cubes instead of two.

Bastion Remnants

The developers have changed the chest loot and have improved the overall loot by increasing the weight of rarer items and improving the rolls of many pools in the new version of the Minecraft games.

Enchanted golden axes and apples have been added to the loot table alongside golden carrots while iron nuggets have been removed from treasure chests.

Game Settings

An additional accessibility icon can be found in the settings menu.

General

Realms

Three world upload slots are available in Minecraft 1.17.10, however, you can activate one world at a time and switch between the three slots.

The New Features of Minecraft 1.17.10 Java Edition

Minecraft players who use the MacBook and Windows devices are not left out of the new Minecraft apk file updates as well. They can download Minecraft 1.17.10 Java edition and enjoy some of the world’s greatest game modes. Here are a few of the Minecraft 1.17.10 updates:

General

You can upload your own worlds while gaining access to more server settings. You observe your activities and progress through the player activity monitor. 

Also, all modules related to the Realms have been moved into a separate library so that future additional features will not require new releases of Minecraft apks.

In the meantime, major improvements have been made to the user interface to enhance gameplay.

The developers have also fixed the bugs that caused memory leaks when initiating TNT chain reactions in the previous versions.

About Minecraft Games

Minecraft is a game where players unleash their creativity and survival instincts by designing their own worlds through farming, mining, building, crafting weapons, fighting off enemies, and trying to stay alive. 

It was created by Marcus Pesson in 2009 and since then, the game has become a worldwide phenomenon with millions of users enjoying the game’s impressive features and gameplay.

Editions

There are several editions of the game, but the most popular ones are the Java and the Bedrock editions. Java is designed to run on Windows, macOS, and Linux while the Bedrock edition (also known as Minecraft PE) runs on android devices and consoles such as Xbox.

Game Modes

The game developers have created 4 modes of the game, depending on the version (some versions only have 3). They are the Creative, Survival, Adventure, Hardcore, and Spectator Modes.

Creative Mode

The Creative Mode grants players access to all resources to enable them to create and design any world they wish. There are no enemies to fight, no health to maintain, no damage to take, and no need to satisfy their hunger. Players can fly freely around their world and build without any hindrances.

Survival Mode

As the name suggests, the players in this mode need to come up with several strategies to stay alive, making it the favorite of most Minecraft players. Players need to compete over limited resources while fighting off monsters. One needs to also maintain their health bar by avoiding falls, drowning, suffocation, starvation, etc.

Adventure Mode

Players create their adventures and custom maps in this mode. There is also the command block that permits the map-maker to interact with players through scripted server commands. Just as the survival mode, one has to avoid hunger, damage, and death.

Hardcore Mode

This is the most difficult mode akin to the survival mode but has permadeath which means that once a player dies, they can no longer interact with the world. Either they create a new world and start all over again or become spectators. Thus, they need to keep a keen eye on their health bar or lose everything.

Spectator Mode

Players in the spectator mode can fly through the world and observe activities taking place without directly interacting with it. Players can also teleport and view the inventories or the perspective of other players or creatures. Unfortunately, the spectator mode is only available in the Java Edition and Console Legacy Editions.
