Mojang releases a split for the 1.17 update.
Mojang has released new information about the 1.17 Minecraft update. The patch will be divided into two phases. The first will release in the summer, and the second during the holidays. Key points: 1. Quality improvement 2. Staff protection 3. Technical issues The quality aspect is clear—they plan to split the update and extend the deadline for better results. Staff safety is a priority, especially amid ongoing pandemic conditions. Technical difficulties arose from the new world generation and map height adjustments, leading to performance challenges. By pushing back the release, they aim to resolve these problems. The summer update will add new blocks and mobs, while the holiday update introduces a new map generation. In short, Mojang prioritized quality and stability over speed. My opinion? It's good they didn't rush the process... khm, cyberbug. Sources: Official Minecraft YouTube channel.
Servers should be able to utilize more cores eventually. It's nice they're postponing work that can't be completed soon, but I also wish studios would clarify how long development takes before setting a release date. Edited April 14, 2021 by Drama Lama
Ah that's what it was, I knew it was something like that. Yeah, still waiting on the notification for that as well.
