Grappling hooks and floataters are literally revolutionary and Mojang treats it as a joke

cant believe that they can create a whole new dimension for april fools but cant add all 3 mobs from the mob votes

If anyone's wondering, jumping in the void shows a whole extra end credits scene based around potatoes lol

the warden portal should lead to the potato dimension to further confuse those who try to understand minecraft lore

i feel like april fools updates are great showcases of what mojang devs can truly do when not limited by things such as "quality of content" and "common sense"

This really put emphasis on what Mojang said, they can make great work. Microsoft just doesn't allows change.

A few things I found out with the Floataters: 1) they can move obsidian 2) you can set it up so that a redstone block is constantly touching the floatater, doubling its speed 3) it can be activated with any redstone 4) not about floatater, but if you stand on the potato battery it makes a funny sound and sends out particles

Mojang: Doesn't want to add animals as hostile mobs Also Mojang: KILL THOSE ARMADILLOS BECAUSE THEY PROTECT THE MEGA SPUD

Hear me out: Maybe they use the April Fools update to experiment with new features in a way that won't be heavily criticized. Like, they've just built this massive components system and they want a way to test out its features in an environment that is relatively low stakes. That way, they can gauge community feedback and make the appropriate changes necessary to bring their new ideas to the game.

the poisonous potato update is like mojang adding a random mod into minecraft

It is honestly hilarious how much they'll do for the bit. I kinda respect the dedication even though its dumb lol

Community: asking for a new boss for years Mojang: *potato*

The holy potato beckons for blood

My crackpot copium theory is this is a test run of an official Aether, which would explain the floating dimension full of clouds, as well as the traversal related mechanics like the grappling hook and flying machines

8:11 You can also place Floatatos in mid air to stop the cloud

7:58 Correction, they have a lot more freedom with April Fools updates. It's not just laziness, there's likely a corporate reason. Especially when they're working on making things close across platforms

7:50 Actually it just needs a redstone signal, and the battery is just a daylight sensor

You are the first person I have seen who figired out how the fletching table works

haven't seen it mentioned anywhere but Potatiesh, Greatstaff of the Peasant is a reference to World of Warcraft, the weapon in that being a legendary called Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian that has an infamous questline to acquire

Note that this entire event for 1 day was created in half the time of any major Minecraft events

7:56 Modders finna have a field day with this! We finally have moving ground that you can properly stand on!

i hope they add grappling hooks into vanilla...

The funniest part is that they made new paintings and one of them is 8x8 and is literally just the poisonous potato sprite

Potato is in french "pomme de terre" (or patate but whatever), "terre de pomme" is thus just a pun over that Also, "terre de pomme" = earth from the apple (≠ the apple from the earth, which is a word by word translation of "pomme de terre") Edit: using *from* as a translation for *de* here instead of using *of* / *'s*

I'd just like to point out as a french viewer that I really like the "Terre De Pomme" item a potato in french is called a "Pomme De Terre" literally meaning an Apple buried/Apple of Dirt and the fact they just swapped it around to make this abomination is kinda funny because it just loses the potato meaning, instead being called an "Apple's Earth/ Apple's Dirt"

At least one person working at mojang is a Warcraft fan. Potatiesh, Greatstaff of the Peasant is a reference to Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian

Would just like to remind everyone that there is no mandate at the Mojang offices to optimize or balance test an April Fool’s update. All features in this update are experimental to a degree that the parent company (Microsoft) wouldn’t allow under normal circumstances.

Reject humanity become Potato 🥔

Each of the last few years' April Fool's updates have been so much fun, and if Mojang won't give us the stuff in them as regular minecraft things, I wish they'd give us a compiled April Fools' build that includes all the material....

fun fact: the floatater speed stacks depending on how many you use and if the block group is being moved by the floatater, if tick speed is frozen when the player stands on the moving object they get flung into that direction (also can be harder depending on the amount of floatater) also there is a new potion that lets you climb walls

I highly doubt any of the things in this snapshot were ever written purely for the snapshot. You can see it from the assets, everythings been recycled. When, why or from where the floatato, floater, grappling hook etc. were recycled is anybodys guess. I like most of the "unique" stuff here, hopefully its been recycled from a potential feature and not from a scrapped one.

It's truly a shame that Technoblade couldn't live to see this

I'd like to correct a few things from the video and wiki. In regards to the *floatater* : From the video it is implied only the floatato and battery can make flying things, the floatater can attach to most non-fluid, non-tile entity blocks, and can be activated by any redstone emmiting block (The battery has a power of 15 when active). And to correct the wiki after extensive testing, the floatater movable structure has a max size of 32 blocks in each direction(floatater is included in this measurement), regardless of the actual position of the floatater in it, not a 30 block radius as stated in the wiki. And this one is just for the wiki editors In regards to the *Toxifin slab* and *Plaguewhale slab* , it is stated they can stack to resemble a dual tailed guardian/elder guardian respectively, however they can actually go up to a triple stack, making them resemble a slightly taller guardian/elder guardian. I presume this, similarly to the boss, is to make them rectangular to resemble a potato.

For those who say as always that Mojang puts too much effort into the April fools updates, just remember that this is their way to test features for the next update. Remember the swaggy blocks? Aka netherite?

PHOENIX, YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE NEW MOST EXPENSIVE BLOCK: the quadruple condensed poisonous potato block(you need 59319 poisonous potatoes in total to craft it)!!! Edit: Thank you guys, this is my most loked comment, plus phoenix pinned it and it's been just one hour!!

Flying machines don't work well on bedrock so that would be nice to have.

its honestly so sad that techno didn't live long enough to see this rip Techno

Potato! A world made of potatoes and starch. Phoenix, you should be proud that the frying table made its way into the update

The whole snapshot is very old mod coded, like the whole aether aesthetic with floating island and dungeon, the cloud block is like the open block angel block, one of the peel blocks that spawns mobs is like the cursed earth in extra utilities

I must call the name of the undefeated potato sage. Techno would love it

I love the fact that this is the second update adding a new dimension

Also important to note that there are custom mobs introduced, the guardians are actually slab varients of regular guardians that can stack like striders

fun fact: they also added a block with a new longest name

Phoenix: "And Im now going to sleep" Pov me at 2pm

Small little fun fact : ‘Terre de Pomme’, translated ‘Earth of the Apple’, is a joke about ‘Pomme de Terre’ which is potato in French :D

Grappling hooks Floaterers New dimension NEW BOSS And it’ll all never happen for ducking real.

can’t believe they added like 8 items in bedrock but in Java they get a whole category of them

omg the hotline miami-like dialog box is so good

Pomme de Terre is "Apple of the Earth" which is the French name for Potato. The block uses the name Terre de Pomme which means Earth of the Apple, so land of the potato maybe?

Today I had a dream where you cleaned the end by eating the skulk veins and after that you were selling ender tacos

Saw this right when u posted it. You are like one of my favorite youtubers fr. Keep it up!

Sculk Dimension: ❌ Potato Dimension: ✅

2:37 Thanks. I was wondering about if you could just 1 shot it with the mace.

I never thought I'd see a World of Warcraft reference in MineCraft (Atiesh, Great Staff of the Guardian or whatever)

Farmers delight at home: 1:50

1:48 - Ahh, yes! I remember... The FRYING TABLE video! They ACTUALLY LISTENED! 😂

"Poisonous Potato Plant" Reminds me of My Friend PEDRO

WOW, I've never seen Phoenix actually so baffled at an update that he can't even stand it💀

It would be cool if for an April fools update they give the ancient city the dimension that we've wanted for years! (Of course it would go to the noob dimension tho)

Adding à grappling hook and floataters is a way of saying “we know those are good ideas, we just won’t add them to the base game”

Love those updates. I think this is a lot of fun for the devs

If you fall into the void, you get a credits sequence like the one you get after defeating the ender dragon! It has some lore!!

"Terre du pomme" is actually "the earth of the apple" instead the real word in french which is "Pomme du terre" (apple of the earth / potato)

PO-TA-TOES: Boil em Mash em Stick em in a composter

French fact : in france, potatos can be called "pommes de terres" (apple of the dirt) so them calling a block "terre de pomme" (dirt of the apple) is pretty funny because it doesn't make sense.

Netherite

the “floatater” reminds me of the zeppelin mod that yogscast covered in like 2010. i thought that mod was sick as a kid. funny seeing it in vanilla 14 years later like the chest boat mod. lol

SPUDTACULAR

technoblade would probably love this april fools

This is kinda cool actually id love this in the main game

You can use the oil inside the refinery to lubricate items, this makes them slide further when thrown

This is what Mojang *can* do, without the tyrannical control of Microsoft

For April Fools, they added the mechanics people actually want

End. Update. Prototype. Change my mind

"We can't add all 3 mobs!!!" average april fools update:

its tuesday my dudes

I think the fact that Mojang clearly puts so much effort into the April Fools' updates lends credence to the rumor that the executives at Microsoft are too afraid to let the devs actually change the base game. So the only time the devs can add creative things that change the game is April 1st.

when i tried this myself without any prior knowledge about the April fools update i had no idea you could wear the potato plant and ended up finding the pedestal randomly

Man that looks like it could turn into a really cool official Aether but they made just for a prank

Toes

Whenever Mojang say they can't add all three mobs, remember these april fools snapshots.

1:07 "Salival"

Add three simple mobs everyone is begging for: ❌no Create a whole new potato game with intricate mechanics and a questline just for one day: ✅yes

Mojang proving they _could_ give us The Aether, grappling hooks, airships and a new mega-boss, and all they'd have to do is abandon parity with Pocket Edition.

Actually, Apple of the Earth is _Pomme_ de _terre._ The new ground block, Terre de Pomme, is literally called "Earth of the Apple."

I was so happy to see what the frying table became

Why is this genuinely more interesting than the last 3 updates

For everyone saying "They do this but cant add 3 mobs" is missing the joke, because they're the ones being made fun of in this snapshot. This is all absolutely abysmal content, the hooks and floaters are the only things of note. Everything else is just basic blocks and reskins, this update is -making fun of you- for having this opinion. The reason why Mojang is slow to update the game is because Microsoft is gonna have them continue to update the game long past it's popularity, probably past some minecraft player's natural lifespans. They're adding things slowly because if every update was The Poisonous Potato update, the game would be incomprehensible by 2030.

7:43 My childhood memories remembers this being a mod where anything can fly like a airplanes And even has a function where it stops on some random block 8:12

5:28 Terre de Pomme and Pomme de Terre are not the same. Terre de Pomme: Land of the Apple Pomme de Terre: Apple of the Land (aka, a potato.)

Mojang is an expert at putting maximum effort into ab optional side mission and putting zero effort into the campaign

Minecraft puts their developers on a 45 hour shift per day for any other update, but let’s em go Hog wild with imagination for April fools (I put the opposite by accident)

HE’S PLAYING SURVIVAL

ive seen so many inedible items being eaten on this channel, my brain froze when I saw him eat the golden carrot

They put more work into this APRIL FOOLS update than 1.19, 1.20, and 1.21 COMBINED… Edit: Since nobody in the replies can tell, THIS IS A JOKE.

Minecraft “updates take a lot of time to code” also Minecraft adding more content in a April fools update then in the past 12 updates

I hope we see variants of these features in future updates!

This reminds me of an old game (now offline for more than a year) that had a Potato mode, now it's great that there is a similar mode but it's now in Minecraft.

1 day. 1 day people will understand that adding a new dimention is not technically hard, adding a fun dimention with high replayability is. An experienced modder could have thrown this together in a week or two (maybe except floaters), but if this made it to vanilla, the novelty would be gone after some time, and nobody would use most of these features. It'd be like 1.20 but even worse.

I love how Mojang puts this much effort into freaking April Fools updates, but not into actual updates.
