Minecraft 1.17 Is About To Release… What To Know!

How does the mountain generation work in Part II?

The mountain generation will eventually work as just another extension of the terrain generation that Minecraft currently has. They explain that there are usually two types of mountains: hilly and steep. Adding the different types of mountains has been an adventure, and Alex states that he used his own experience in climbing mountains when designing the mountain types that will be added in the update.

What’s your favorite feature in Part I?

Agnes mentions that her favorite feature has to be copper. She explains that when she plays Minecraft, she enjoys making up stories about her Minecraft world, and copper helps implement things into said stories, like adding a history to everything. With the use of copper and how it oxidizes over time, it can add a fun historical element to any Minecraft world.

Alex mentions that his favorite feature is powdered snow, especially because one of his real life hobbies is skiing and hiking. The addition of powdered snow brings the element of mountaineering into Minecraft, and he is very excited about it.
