Minecraft 1.17 Snapshot 21w08a (No More Easy Diamonds?)

Minecraft 1.17 Snapshot 21w08a gives us a new name for grimestone, deepslate! deepslate ores have been added too alongside smooth basalt.

Features:

• Tweaked cave sizes further.
• Canyon and cave carvers now apply below y=0.
• Cracks can now be found carved into the ground.
• Grimstone has been changed into Deepslate.
• Added Deepslate ores.
• The distribution of ores has been further tweaked.
• Andesite no longer generates under y=0.
• Tuff now sometimes generates under y=0.
• The Tuff layer of amethyst geodes has been replaced with now a new type of stone called Smooth Basalt.
• Smooth Basalt is now obtained from smelting Basalt.
• Another round of tweaking has been done to the new textures of ores and Blackstone.
• Emerald and Lapis Lazuli ore textures have had some touch-ups.
• Mineshafts now once again generate in the open air in caves.
• Particles now appear in the air around spore blossoms.
• Slime Blocks and Honey Blocks have been moved to the Redstone tab of the creative inventory.

Deepslate:

• Grimstone is now called Deepslate.
• Deepslate now has a top texture, and a new block called Cobbled Deepslate drops from Deepslate.
• The cobbled variant is the same but without the top texture, and is used to craft all Deepslate variants instead.
• Deepslate now has a unique set of sounds! Very crunchy indeed.

Deepslate Ores:

• Added Deepslate versions of Iron, Gold, Lapis, Redstone, and Diamond ores that generate wherever those ores replace Deepslate.
• Twice as tough to mine as normal ores.
