'''1.17.0-rc.2''' is the 2nd release candidate for [[1.17.0]], released on July 26, 2022, which has a large amount of new features, tweaks, and fixes.
 
This patch was released immediately following '''1.17.0-rc.1''', which would instantly crash when trying to load a world.
 
== Tweaks ==
=== Items ===
; [[Shield|Shields]]
* Shields now properly scale for ground storage.
 
=== Mobs ===
; [[AI]]
* Most land creatures now flee from bears.
 
; [[Bear|Bears]]
* Bears no longer spawn in the first 4 in-game days.
 
; [[Wolf|Wolves]]
* Wolves no longer spawn in the first 4 in-game hours.
 
=== Gameplay ===
; [[Handbook]]
* Added handbook section on ground storage.
 
; [[Interface]]
* Added tool mode icons for the scythe.
 
; [[Worldmap|World map]]
* Reworked waypoint dialog. Icon and color are now a grid of clickable icons.
 
=== General ===
; [[Performance]]
* Use native ZStd library on Windows platforms for more efficient memory management.
 
; [[Server|Servers]]
* Handle invalid SaveFileLocation more gracefully and log to server-main.txt.
 
; [[Sound|Sounds]]
* Mitigate sizzle sound spam + OOM by reducing its sound range from 32 to 16 blocks.
 
== Fixes ==
* Running out of air on the client on old worlds.
* Shields now appear in the proper location when placed in a mold rack.
* Newly introduced crash in barrels.
* Falling sand block oddities in certain cases.
* Hopper item collecting oddities.
* Able to place water lilies underwater.
* Wrong naming on metal shields.
* New reflective shader effect not respecting fog levels.
* Incorrect linebreaks on japanese translations.
* Avoid a crash in the fruit tree block entity (report an error instead).
* Avoid a crash on invalid book shelves.
* Selecting a very large view distance in single player then reloading the world made it revert back to a shorter view distance.
* Unknown texture on bedrock.
* Chiseled blocks now react more correctly to water flow.
* Rapid breaking of adjacent reeds (and other blocks more generally).
* Game crash when holding a plumb and square in hands.
 
== API changes ==
=== Additions ===
* Added IGameCalendar.ElapsedSeconds/Hours/Days property to read how much in-game time has passed since world creation. Might be inaccurate on old worlds.
 
=== Refactorings ===
* The server event OnTrySpawnEntity now has an additional IBlockAcccessor argument, as it might be a worldgen block accessor now.
 
=== Tweaks ===
* Update Harmony to 2.2.2.0.
* Added Melchior's new metal properties for modders.
 
=== Fixes ===
* Crash when removing the health behavior from an entity.
* Modmaker patches not prefixing "game:" domain for vanilla patches.
