Instead, expect a significant number of fixes to polish the first part of 1.17, including fixing fall damage when going through a final portal and making foam blocks be broken when moved by pistons. There’s nothing terribly exciting here, but Minecraft testers can always submit feedback while they wait for bigger changes.
