Dear Fiona The Mortal,
1.17 is already out and fabric is already available
on 1.17, please update it for 1.17 . The fabric wiki
has already updated for 1.17 not that long ago and I
like little block goats and axolotls.
Yours sincerely,
MaxBr5

Forge is taking far too long to update to 1.17 but it does
not mean that you can’t update it for fabric 1.17 .
I beg you to do it.

It's out now and I got to deal with some fabric weirdness

Thank you.
