minecraft update 1.17.30

Minecraft has been updated to version 1.17.30. It comes with the “Respawn Blocks Explode” game rule, Caves & Cliffs: Part II, tons of fixes, and more.

Below are the full patch notes:

Minecraft Dungeons

Nintendo EU and Nintendo UK have announced that Minecraft Dungeons will be the next Nintendo Switch Online game trial in that region. Subscribers can try the game out for free starting on August 18.

Here’s the announcement:

Xbox Game Pass

Many gamers are becoming invested in the Xbox ecosystem thanks to Xbox Game Pass. By purchasing a subscription, players gain access to a ton of different titles across various platforms. Some have hoped to see the service migrate to other consoles like Switch, but it doesn’t appear to be in the cards for now.

GamesRadar recently spoke with Xbox boss Phil Spencer and asked him point blank about Xbox Game Pass potentially coming to the console. He ultimately said that there aren’t plans at the moment for any closed platforms “mainly because those closed platforms don’t want something like Game Pass.”

Spencer’s full words:

Minecraft Dungeons

Heads up for Minecraft Dungeons: another update is live. After installing today’s patch, your game should be at version 1.10.3.0.

Minecraft Dungeons has received a ton of fixes as part of today’s update. The full patch notes can be found below (just be cautious of spoilers).
