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.

- Added tool mode icons for the scythe.
- Reworked waypoint dialog. Icon and color are now a grid of clickable icons.
General
- Use native ZStd library on Windows platforms for more efficient memory management.
- Handle invalid SaveFileLocation more gracefully and log to server-main.txt.

API changes
Additions

Fixes
