I hate to be a bother as I am sure you are getting plenty of annoyances such as this; However I still can't help but wonder how the update is coming along for 1.17 Forge. Please take your time at replying and updating, just don't see where I could view update's progress otherwise. Thanks for your amazing work! Keep it up. <3

I've released a basic backport for 1.17 but I can't promise it will receive continued support and updates.

Forge 1.17.1

Fabric 1.17.1
