Hello everyone, and welcome to another week of inspiring news! Sadly, I don’t have any snapshots for you this week, but I can ensure that Mojang is hard at work, making something great for us. The Caves and Cliffs update is a technical endeavor the likes of which Minecraft has never seen, so it makes sense that every snapshot is based on technical advancements and fixing ore, cave, and biome generation rather than the addition of new content. It may be less fun to look at, but when the update actually comes out you will appreciate the changes.
Something interesting that has happened, however, is the new Bedrock Beta! In the newest 1.17 Beta, you can play with the new large-scale mountain generation. We’ve had new cave generation, but now we finally can play around with the cliff generation! If you can play on Bedrock Edition, I highly recommend you check the Beta out for yourself.

Community Gulp
Through the use of data packs, a talented developer has managed to create a 2D version of Minecraft that is playable within the Minecraft chat. How cool is that? You can play Minecraft…in Minecraft!
A Reddit user by the name of KevinJNGuy01 shared his creation which he dubbed “Playable Minecraft in the Chat.” Ever get bored of Minecraft, just sitting in your world? Maybe try playing Minecraft! This entire addition if fit into a datapack, so no mods required! You can check out the post from Kevin himself and the download for the data pack here.
Conclusion
Welp, yet another week passes us by. Minecraft is everchanging, and we inch closer and closer to the awesome end result of 1.17. It was an odd choice to lock the new progress on the cliff generation to Bedrock, but it will inevitably make its way to Java so I don’t really care. The Apex team is as skippy as ever, and we have tons of content in the works for you guys! Last, Kevin from Reddit made an awesome datapack which is sure to spark some interest. I mean, Minecraft in Minecraft is pretty cool! With that said, I hope you found some of this interesting, and have a great day.
