Minecraft’s April Fool’s update exceeded everyone’s expectations. Although players were anticipating only a couple of new items and a few easter eggs, Mojang Studios surprised them by adding a completely new dimension with five beautifully crafted biomes to the game.
Additionally, numerous other items and mobs were included in the update. One notable addition was the Poisonous Potato dimension, complete with its own boss mob, aptly named ‘Mega Spud, Potatolord of the Fried Legion.’ Despite the update being well received overall, certain new features stood out among the others.
Top Pranks and Gags from Minecraft’s April Fools 2024 Event
The expression ‘spoilt for choice’ accurately captures the abundance of features in the April Fool’s update. It has been suggested by some players that this update surpasses the highly anticipated Minecraft 1.21 update. Among the highlights are comical items and mobs, as well as useful tools that players are hoping will become a permanent part of the game. Here are the top five features of the April Fool’s update.
1) Mashed Potatoes
The lashing potato is a highly regarded addition to Minecraft. By combining a poisonous potato with a toxic beam, players can create this versatile item. It functions as a grappling hook, attaching to various surfaces and pulling players towards it. This feature adds a thrilling element to gameplay and should be incorporated into the base game by Mojang.
The lashing potato’s limited durability requires players to use it wisely and efficiently. This feature is undoubtedly one of the best additions to the game, not only in the April Fool’s update but in all updates.
2) Buoyant Device
The Floatater is a block that can be created by combining floatato and hot potato. Despite its humorous name, this block adds a lot of enjoyment to the game. The floatato acts as a rocket engine and, when activated by a redstone signal, propels itself in a specific direction. It also has the unique ability to transport other items and mobs, including players.
As expected, the Minecraft community began to experiment with this block, constructing rocket ships and even an explosive missile. The floatater proves to be a formidable block for building and we can anticipate the community showcasing impressive creations in the near future.
3) Sweet potato fries
After years of requests from Minecraft players, the developers have finally found a purpose for the poisonous potato. While it previously served no other function than taking up inventory space, it now has multiple uses, including the ability for players to make potato fries.
It is possible for them to transform poisonous potatoes into a useful item through cooking. Consuming this item replenishes four hunger points. Mojang ought to permanently retain this feature.
4) Deadly Spud Smasher
The addition of the mace weapon by Mojang Studios was met with enthusiasm from players. Despite being a powerful tool, its main drawback is its challenging acquisition. The Poisonous Potato dimension shares some similarities with the mace, whereas the poisonous potato hammer is relatively easy to craft.
The poisonous potato hammer is a powerful weapon with an attack damage of 11 and a knockback enchantment. It is crafted by combining a poisonous potato and a blaze rod, making it slightly challenging to acquire, but not as much as the mace.
5) The Menacing Spud
The game now features a new and intriguing addition: the vicious potato. As its name implies, this block is capable of shooting projectiles at nearby mobs. The target is chosen at random and the projectile inflicts a significant amount of damage. These blocks can be found in the hash biome within the potato dimension.
