The more I think about the Minecraft 1.17 Caves & Cliffs delay, the more I keep thinking that Minecraft 1.17 is in the same place as Hytale and Anthem. The developers were way over their heads and the update is too ambitous for them.
Why did Mojang make 1.17 a Caves AND cliffs update?
Surely it would make more sense to completely overhaul the caves (the most fundamental part of Minecraft) and then do whatever else in a seperate update. The Deep Dark cave biome could also be it's own update with the warden.
I also think (and know that other people feel the same way) that Mojang have lost sight at what makes Minecraft such an amazing survival game. Instead of updating the functional/fundamental elements of Minecraft (caves, dungeons, minig and survival). They're focusing on things that should've even be in a game like Minecraft (Panda bears, foxes and parrots) that add nothing to the game. I understand that they care about the environment and conservation but I really hope they refocus, don't lose sight of what makes Minecraft such an amazing survival game and I do hope they refocus for future updates.
I still think that Minecraft 1.17 Caves and Cliffs was ambitious even before the global coronavirus pandmic. This is also me venting because I've been so excited, making videos and I'm so disappointed about the split update/delay. I understand but I'm really disappointed.

1.17 will add new mobs, blocks and vegetation.
1.18 will add the new cave generation, world height increase, world depth increase.
I also think the 1.17 delay has shown us that Mojang don't have the capacity to handle such a huge update and they still need to hire more people.
Personally, I'd prefer to see it released as a single piece: ditch splitting it in half simply to have something speeded out to us, as I know that some of us would simply prefer to wait until the holiday time when the second piece is now planned to open.
I agree with you, I also would prefer Mojang delay the 1.17 update and release it all together during the Holiday season so we all have something to look forward to.
