Delay all of 1.17

If the new update is going to take a lot of time, then you should take that time. It is a very poor decision to pump out half-baked content because it will lose its punch by the time the rest of the update catches up. Imagine if in 1.16, only half of the nether biomes were released, and then half a year later, the other half came out. It would make no sense! People would already be used to the same old same old of the new nether, and the next wave of additions would feel meaningless and not have nearly the same impact. I feel like one of the best things about Minecraft is the charm of exploration and the possibilities of the unknown, and splitting the cave update will ruin that.

I feel like it is too common nowadays to see games be released before they're ready and have a terrible reception because of it... Please don't let that happen to Minecraft!

    If the features they want to release in the Summer were not ready, they wouldn't have released them at all. The example you give is not relevant because you're talking about biomes, which are totally different gameplay aspects to building blocks. They're not hesitant to push away content that needs more attention or polish, as we've seen from the Bundles being pushed to 1.18 and Archeology as a whole being pushed from Caves & Cliffs despite them promising that it would be part of it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming the devs. I'm just saying that they won't release any features if they are not ready. Besides, 1.17 adds very little to exploration. 1.18 is the part that most people are excited for because it would add all of the new mining strategy, the new cave generation, the biomes, and the Deep Dark as a whole. I don't think the charm of the update would break once we get the first part, unless you only play for the building blocks. However, I do see where you're coming from.

    I believe the blocks in 1.17 are already finished unlike the generation of biome which takes a lot of efforts to pull off. And theres no need to delay works that are already finished.
