Minecraft: Caves & Cliffs update is now available

Patch 1.17 for Minecraft is now live - also on the servers from ZAP!

Today the latest Minecraft update 1.17 "Caves & Cliffs Part 1" was released. The Caves & Cliffs update is a huge update that has been split into 2 parts Minecraft 1.17 and Minecraft 1.18. For example, the caves are released in the 2nd part. Minecraft 1.17 offers, among other things:

  • Copper ore and blcoks
  • Candles as a light source
  • Powder Snow
  • New animals and creatures
  • Players can now suffer freeze damage

Minecraft 1.17 has already been integrated into our systems and you can update your Minecraft server with the latest version. When you log in to the web interface, you'll receive a message that a new version is available. However, thanks to our version manager, you can also stay with an older version you prefer and install the update at any time or switch back to an older version. All new Minecraft servers automatically start with the latest version. You can visit our Minecraft servers here:
