A new episode of Hermitcraft dropped today! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y96ektx3nsq0iWQ.html

I feel like the potato dimension might just be the Aether but with potatoes, it even has the part where falling into the void sends you into the overworld

"Hmm yeah this is a funny April fools update and everything, but what if we added jet engines?"

If you fall into the void of the potato world, it gives you the 'end game' message like if you jump in the portal after beating the dragon. However, it is filled with potato puns and whatnot.

the april fools snapshots are getting crazier and crazier every year haha. this was one of the better ones i think! last years vote update was super awesome too!

bro this is bigger than the actual update 😂

This feels like Aether but potatofied

I love how almost every mod type was made fun of We have the frying pan as a decoration block New redstone Compressed blocks More food New dimension/mobs/ and a new boss Grapple hook New physics??

grappling hook, moving structures, floating blocks, unique boss, stackable mobs, turrets. these features are so different to what's already in the game that they must have spent ages testing them. there's no way this isn't a trial run for prototypes that are coming down the road

I can't believe I played this snapshot, found out about almost NONE of the stuff covered in this video, but found out that falling in pota-toes makes a layer of mashed potatoes and gives a fall-dampening effect, which Xisuma didn't show in this video at all!? It also changed the contents of the bonus chest, which X didn't seem to notice either.

the floating blocks is really cool, I hope Mojang adds it to a future update. so cool having a floating house that MOVES.

The robot giant is actually the Mega Spud skin, and mega spud is one of the community managers for Minecraft!

The Potatofication Enchant makes it that when you break a block it drops potatoes.

This feels like one of those "quirky dimension type" mods from the old days... Also, I'd imagine season 8 Mumbo would have an absolute blast in this dimension.

I found a potato geode in the overworld. It has a layer of cobblestone, then granite, then the potato blocks mixed with poisonous potato blocks in place of amethyst.

This feels less like an April Fool's snapshot and more like a mod review for a crazy mod from a decade ago. The effort put into this is respectable, and some of the mechanics (the flying block, grappling hooks, and a block hostile mobs can spawn on regardless of light level) sound like they'd be great in the actual game. I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of these are testing mechanics are planning to potentially add in the future.

Mojang casually adding an amazingly fun grappling hook and jet engines in an "April fools snapshot" Meanwhile we get to vote between 3 crappy mobs and only one gets added... Also you HAVE to try using the grappling hook with the elytra, the speed you get from the hook makes you able to fly higher with the elytra Also the hook range in infinite: when you get in range to load the hook entity the vine reappears and pulls you to it!

the "poisonous Potato man" and "this is not a potato" are a nod to two René magritte paintings, "son of Man" and "the treachery of images"

Ah so that is what the frying table was for. I remember it leaked from a tab left open in a Minecraft video and people thought we would get a food update or something. I guess they weren't entirely wrong

I love that the floataters stack, so if you put a bunch of them in a row and power them all at once, you can make an insanely fast rocket

11:00 - A nod to "Treachery of images" (the "Ce n'est pas une pipe" painting) and 11:17 is based on "The Son of Man" (the guy with a bowler hat and an apple in front of his face) both original works were painted by Magritte. Love the update, and thank you Xisuma for giving us such in-depth details. Fantastic as always.

The way they're made the smooth moving block could be a real cool way to implement ships in Minecraft. Perhaps it could be a propeller block that floats on water.

The pig is a Loaded Baked Potato (they have bacon as a topping on them).

It's strange how many things in this April Fool's Update seemed to be based on Extra Utilities. Floater can be placed like an Angel Block, Cursed Earth equivalent, Double Compressed Block, ectara. Wonder if all of this is meant to references mods in general, after all grappling hooks and reskinned dimensions are fairly common.

Few more things you probably didn't know about is. The rain in one of the new biomes also poisons you You can craft tridents from items called dents dropped by the plaguewhale All villagers no longer trades emeralds but trades in poisonous potatoes and Amber gems The resins has different clarity levels depending on where you obtained it, cloudy is from ore and fishy is from toxifins. Potato of knowledge is a consumable Exp bottle. You can sleep in the new Dimension Potato zombies attack other undead mobs, turning them into more potato zombies To lubricate items you need to put the item you want to lubricate in the bottle slot and the oil in the potato slot with a fuel source underneath Lastly that this is probably the most new content we'll get this year

For those interested, that one painting xisuma that couldnt recognize (the one with the man with a potato in front of his face) was based on the painting "Son of Man" by René Magritte.

I can already see Bdubbs masterfully implementing the potato blocks into his intricate textures and gradients, idk how you guys make decisions in the hermitcraft server but I’m sure he’d be be an advocate to add the new potato blocks in.

They added more for April Fools than they did for 1.21 -_-

10:24 LOL that looks like it says something much more inappropriate than shirt

I feel the excessive need to say that in the french version, the potato dirt is called "Terre de pomme", while potato is "Pomme de terre" directly translating to apple of earth

This might be the most hilarious April Fools update. Some of this stuff is genius, and, as usual, was probably so much fun to think up. (There's the mysterious frying table.)

I just love the 'Potatiesh Greatstaff of the Peasant' reference to 'Atiesh Greatstaff of the Guardian' from World of Warcraft!

Man I hope that grappling hook eventually makes it into a real update

I really hope some of this comes to the actual game in a future update 😅

This strikes me as a combination of ideas they had for the Trails update, an end update, and a potential Skulk dimension. There are random pathways and potato-wood platforms naturally generating (literal trails). The grappling hook would make end traversal much more fun. A new block that is semi-hostile (possible new skulk variant block?). The potato wood also somewhat resembles recolored/re-textured bamboo, maybe they had plans at one point to add a bamboo village? The potato boss also seems like a theoretical new boss mob idea. Imagine changing the context to fighting a skulk boss that has absorbed the "souls" of so many mobs and you have to beat it by defeating the "ghosts" of what it has absorbed. I know they tend to go wacky with the April fool's update but this seems like it has way more of a beta test feel to it than just being for silly laughs

21:08 it’s a tool enchantment that makes whatever block you break with it drop a bunch of potatoes.

These joke updates usually have a few prototypes features in them that we get in a real update later. I am thinking that the moving structures with proper player collision could be something they add in, at least for custom map usage.

The Toxifin slab seems like a great variant to add to the regular game.

A lot of these seem to refer to an old mod called extra utilities it had compressed cobblestone (up to octuples) angel blocks you could place in the air like the floatato and more Grappling is also something you fjnd in a number of mods and was inspired by fortresscraft's grappling mechanic (behaves the same and looks similar with a green beam) there is probably even more references I missed

I love how the potato's head that's talking to you tilts back and forth like a Hotline Miami cutscene. The player is just slowly going insane from consuming a poisonous potato and is going to start hearing a phone ringing in a few hours..

You would need 3,779,136 poisonous potatoes to make a stack of quadruple compressed potato blocks! Should be easy with Potatofication 🤔

Things I noticed while playing not seen in the video: The slab fish drop dents, part of a trident. Powerful potatoes are naturally occurring. Water is poisonous in certain biomes. Poisonous mash potatoes give the sticky buff when stood on, allowing the player to climb walls. Potato sheep can be sheared for their peels which come in whatever color they were. The grappling hook base can be found in a starter chest which is full of farming equipment.

Either they are teasing us with a new dimension. Or the ability to make custom blocks, alternates mobs and stuff with the new component system.

This update has so much potential for cool airship builds, I want the floatater to be in regular minecraft.

If flotaters are added to vanilla hermitcraft pranks would go insane.

Toxifins and Plaguewhales honestly seem like betas for an actual in-testing mob, be it reworks or a cousin species to the guardians. even if this isn't the case and nothing comes of it, i think it's safe to assume the modding community will pick them up, un-potato them and make them into a mod of their own.

You want to use regular potato oil, not poisoned one, for lubrication. Lubricated items when thrown slide a distance linearly dependant on lubrication level. You can put lubricated items into the refinery recursively, to get higher lubrication levels. Lubrication level is a 32bit integer, it's a component, so can be modified in for example /give command.

I’m really glad that I experienced this update blind and in survival, there were a lot of things that you didn’t understand, that I knew, like how the beams for the grappling hooks are obtained by the potato guardians. And making the grapplers and elytra myself.

You need 3779136 poisonous potated to make a stack of quad compressed.

7:48 actually, you can crawl under these blocks to find four spawners which are positioned under the center platform

11:16 I think it might be a reference to the Belgium painter Rene Magritte who made a similar painting with an apple on his head

Nice work X! Huge update!

This seems like the sort of thing the Hermits should tackle as a group in a livestream together for charity to create the most beautiful (revolting) build. Starting out with six hours, all donations of a certain amount will lengthen the time you all play it. I'd love to see what sort of monstrosity pops up and whether any hermits would be able to complete all the achievements for this update in that time.

Mojang was testing the custom worlds thing on previous april fools (god its like 3-4 years by now isnt it), then we got a portal looking ring in ancient city, now they make straight up new dimension on april fools. There is definetly some hinting of future big update.

"Potatiesh" Oh man, still remember that from a long long time ago :D awesome that someone at Mojang referenced Atiesh!

it takes 3,779,136 poisonous potatoes to make a stack of quadruple compressed poisonous potato blocks, at 59,049 just to make ONE. filling up a shulker box with stack of those quadruple compressed blocks, and then filling a double chest with those shulker boxes, you can fit a total of 5,509,980,288 poisonous potatoes in one double chest.

The boss's name and the staff it drops are both likely references to World of Warcraft. Jaraxxus, Eredar Lord of the Burning Legion and Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian.

4:14 The Potatogers do have trades, they are just very efy about picking work stations.

So many of those blocks need a vanilla counterpart added. The floater, the corrupted peel and turrets would make awesome small auto mob farms.

So the smooth sailing jet engine block is of course amazing for so many things, but the corrupted block is pretty good too. Easy general purpose mob farm without needing to worry about light levels.

As much as i love this update im upset its only for april fools, it adds so much cool stuff

there's actually a trapdoor in the colosseum floor that leads into a weird 1-tall maze (reminiscent of the potato door texture!) that just has four spawners for the slab guardians in it and nothing else also if you trigger more than one floatater at once the speed goes up, you can use /fill commands to aim a bunch of observers at a big square of them, I tried up to 7x7 which zoomed off pretty quickly!

The doubling up mechanic seems like a fun thing to see. Imagine slimes doing that and get a tower of them. I would find it fun

The level of effort is amazing!

The "this is not a potato" painting and the one with a potato covering a man's face are both based on famous paintings by René Magritte, specifically they're based on "The Treachery of Images" and "The Son of Man" respectively.

Potatification on tools drops potatoes and poisonous potatoes when breaking blocks. Most blocks in potato dimension are broken with a hoe. The quardian slab mobs actually have spawners under the boss chamber. Also potato villagers can have jobs. Thank you for an amazing video ❤ There were loads of things to discover and thanks to you I picked up some cool ones. Hope that you can read this comment and learn something from my exploration.

The poisonous potato man painting is a mod to ‘the son of man’ painting which is the one of the man in the bowler hat and an apple in front of his face.

The Floatater gave me SO many ideas for builds. I’d love for it to be added.

3,779,136 poisinous potatoes to make a stack of quadruple compressed potato blocks

Their favourite character in the Avengers is Tony Starch

I need like all of this in a data pack or something, it's all so good! Thanks for the video X!

Nice Snapshot overview! looks like a fun one :) So much potential :)

ive noticed in the past theyve used april fools snapshots to tease mechanics and tech theyve been working on so hopefully well see some kind of grappling hook or block mover soon

Such a large and detail snapshot indeed, love what mojang does on their april fool's updates!

Wow, I'm impressed they packed so many things into this!!

It’s cool how these updates are all hinting at things to possibly come :D

So THAT'S what the Frying Table was! XD Joking aside, can't wait to play this, thanks for the showcase!

This definitely seems like a blueprint for a new dimension, they're probably tinkering with some features in this April Fools update so they can later add it on in some way or another.

There's so much inspiration from modded minecraft with this the whole dimension is very similar to the Aether Floatato blocks are like Extra Utilities (2) Angel Block Compressed potato blocks are like AllTheCompressed blocks The corrupted potato blocks are like Dreadful Dirt from Mob Grinding Utils The Mega Spud resembles the King Slime from Tinkers' Construct Lashing Potato has many Grappling mod to compare to, most common is probably Immersive Engineering's Engineer's Skyhook etc.

Genuinely loving the potato tree, the green animated logs look amazing and I need 1 million of them.

This shows how talented and not lazy the devs are, they are only limited by what they are allowed to place in the game.

There will be so much outrage about "the mojang devs spend more time making april fools updates than the real updates"

Potato aether was interesting to see, I really hope we get to see some of these features in game at some point. The floatater mechanic is awesome, the grappling hook mechanic is really cool and even some of the smaller things, like amber and craftable tridents would be very interesting

the spider skin for this was so cute i love it, i need it as a normal variant omg

the floatater - if it goes up to the build limit and you activate it again, it breaks any block, including bedrock, it wont be stopped by obsidian and bedrock (probably for now), blocks placed on the sticky spot will drag other blocks with them, but the floatater does not stick itself (accept the sticky spot), ... the potato battery - if you turn it on it produces an redstone output of 15 and you cant turn it on with redstone itself you forgot that - if you fall from a big height onto the potato grass block (forgot the name) it will turn into mashed potato your video is to this current point the most correct, and almost everything you showed is what i have discovered and that is crazy to me .... fun fact, a few days ago i made an potato farm on a smp, and found a few poisoned potatos in the chests and said "oh right these exist" and today (01.04.2024.) minecraft anounced this update, i was flabergasted when i saw it and basicly i kinda predicted the poisoned potato update (that poisend potato on the smp was a sign)

Floatater is definitely my favorite block, i hope mojang gave us something similar in the future update where we could interact with the moving block.

Honestly dopest thing in Minecraft ive seen. Hopefully this is a trial run for some new features in real game.

the modded reference with the compressed potato blocks is a great inclusion

Thanks for covering it so fast! I played it for a bit but couldn't be bothered to try and beat that insane boss. I don't think I had even done any kind of damage. I saw the same thing with you and the redstone block seemingly moving away. Pretty wild optical illusion. 18:43 Oh wait didn't people see the frying table show up in some picture about the crafter a while ago? Turns out it was just for this April Fools update I guess.

Once again, an April Fools update with a few things we would really want to see in Vanilla! The floating blocks and motor are really cool, it makes me wonder why they havent actually added airships to minecraft yet! Also that exhaust thing is similar to something i mentioned on one of Tangos videos, basically a box fan looking thing that can blow players, mobs and items in whatever direction you place it in! Could also work work with pushing airships around too :)

So much content can be added to the game in such a short time... I wish updates were this fun and full of content

that name-changing fletching table has gotta be reference to that botania block

So much of this feels like an homage to modded mc--makes sense given a lot of the devs have a history in modded and don't get to put those ideas in vanilla. But like, quadruple-compressed cobblestone? Blocks that can spawn mobs regardless of light?

Nice pun to Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian

Ok those cloud blocks are an absolute game changer. Def going to ask for something like that in the vanilla game

Last year's Snapshot was so much fun, this one is also fun too!

The fact that this looks so well done tells me a lot of these will be added but are just reskinned for the april fools update😅

I love the hotline miami reference

Ooo. Those blocks look like you could make a tower defense game in minecraft. I guess you could make one regardless with zombie pigmen and turtle eggs? Youd have to avoid angering them so they come at you, other than if there was a path from the eggs to you behind the scenes

the grappling hook is incredibly fun to use alongside the elytra
