Minecraft Poisonous Potato update: List of all weapons

The 2024 update for Minecraft, known as the Poisonous Potato update, offers a plethora of potato-related content for players to delight in on April Fool’s Day. Among its comical additions are a whole dimension dedicated to poisonous potatoes, various new blocks, items, and mobs with a potato theme, and a unique boss to defeat. Additionally, players can wield new weapons while traversing the treacherous poisonous potato dimension.

While the selection of new weapons in the Poisonous Potato update may not be as extensive as other additions to the game for April Fool’s Day, they are still worth exploring. Certain weapons are especially helpful for fighting mobs in the potato dimension, while others can be enjoyable to use in any situation, even outside of the playful dimension Mojang created for players.

Exploring the Deadly Arsenal of Minecraft’s Poisonous Potato Update

The poisonous potato hammer in Minecraft is created by combining a blaze rod and a poisonous potato. This powerful weapon deals an impressive 100 damage per strike in melee combat and is naturally enchanted with Knockback X, sending any target struck by it flying away from the user.

Moreover, the poisonous potato hammer also has a chance of throwing a Lingering Potion of Poison at the target, making it even more effective. Although certain mobs may have resistance to Poison, the weapon’s combination of high base damage in close combat and the ability to knock targets back a significant distance makes it a strong choice for melee combat.

Hot potatoes are not used as traditional weapons, but rather, they are created by throwing a poisonous potato into lava in a Minecraft world or by combining a poisonous potato with a lava bucket in a crafting table. These potatoes rely on being thrown and picked up by other players in PvP situations, as they are not effective against mobs. However, it is important to note that holding a hot potato for an extended period of time can have negative consequences.

The hot potato, when kept in a player’s inventory, inflicts fire damage every tick until it is discarded. The damage gradually escalates over time, starting with no damage. After 20 ticks, it rises to one damage point and then continues to increase by one point every 40 ticks until it reaches its maximum of five fire damage per tick.

Although it’s disappointing that these hot potatoes don’t harm mobs, they can still provide entertainment by serving as a PvP minigame for friends. This allows players to compete in a multiplayer arena, dodging flying hot potatoes and trying to outlast each other.

The potato peeler is a powerful weapon, created by combining a stick and a pair of shears. While it may only do two points of damage initially, it is a formidable tool against potato-themed mobs in the poisonous potato dimension of the Minecraft April Fool’s Day snapshot. With each attack dealing 12 damage, this peeler can be further enhanced with enchantments.

In general, the potato peeler has the ability to be bewitched with the following magical enhancements:

  • Fire Aspect
  • Looting
  • Unbreaking
  • Sharpness
  • Smite
  • Bane of Arthropods
  • Knockback
  • Mending
  • Curse of Vanishing
  • Sweeping Edge
  • Potatofication

Despite not being the most suitable weapon for navigating the Overworld, Nether, or End, the potato peeler proves to be the perfect melee weapon for players when facing the potato-themed mobs in this Minecraft snapshot’s custom dimension.
