How To Update Minecraft to 1.17
For those that are likely on a previous version of Minecraft, updating to 1.17 is simple. If you're on a console, Minecraft should automatically update when you next boot up your console. For those on PC, it's a little different.
- Open up your Minecraft launcher
- If you're specifically playing on an older version of Minecraft, such as a modded one via Forge, your game will not automatically update.
- Simply select the drop down menu, circled above, and select 'Latest Release'
- Once selected, hit play and your version of Minecraft will be updated
