1.17.1 Pre-release 1 (known as 1.17.1-pre1 in the launcher) is the first pre-release for Java Edition 1.17.1, released on June 18, 2021,[1] which tweaks some game mechanics and fixes bugs.
Changes[]
Blocks[]
- Powder snow now fills cauldrons 2 times as fast as before.
Items[]
- Tweaked held model texture to include glass on the backside.
Mobs[]
- Blue axolotls now only spawn through breeding.
- Increased the drop probability of copper ingot from 5% to 11%, and increased the drop rate boost with each level of the Looting enchantment from 1% to 2%.
- This change is to match Bedrock Edition's drop rates.
- Breeding common goats now has a chance to produce screaming goats.
- Status effects applied to goats now also apply when the goat is jumping or ramming.
- Zombies, Zombie Villagers, Husks and Drowned
- No longer pick up glow ink sacs.
- This prevents zombies from persisting after picking up the loot of a dead glow squid.
General[]
- Protocol

- Now, data padded in these field will use the address and port which SRV record pointed at, instead of using "server address" as "hostname" and 25565 as "port".
- Fonts
- Some new characters have been added.
- Includes several currency symbols and some new emoji.
