Minecraft 1.17-rc2
The second (and probably final) pre-release is out. The changelog says, “fixed a few critical issues”, but now we know what those critical issues are. See the changelog.
“Critical Issues”
- Blocked loading skins from education.minecraft.net and bugs.mojang.com
- Added error handling (crash fix) for dispensing spawn eggs
- Improved error handling (crash fix) for opening the JAR as a resource pack
- Crash fix for placing blocks (podzol) under trees during levelgen
