@@syrelian There's a lot of mods that let you throw items from your inventory and have them land like that so they probably like hired some modders and got their existing code
Some of the features highkey are kinda awesome like, grabbing and stacking mobs on your head, throwing blocks at stuff and it doing damage, using chicken to glide and fly, these are all things that could make for a fun little mod to actual, regular, inventory-having Minecraft.
Wow, Minecraft keeps managing to 1-up itself for April Fools! From locked chests and a fake microtransaction screen, to infinite "dimensions", to now completely revitalizing the gameplay! Absolutely insane. And honestly if it weren't for the one use tools and the single space inventory, this would be a really fun version to play!
I just tried this for a bit myself, and about 10 minutes in I tamed a horse, and was able to open it's inventory. It was kinda strange after all the messing around throwing things the whole time. also I found out that sheep get sheared when you throw them and if you throw wool at them they regain it.
This is how companies should do April Fools. Not by announcing a product in some lazy obviously fake way Not by promising a feature people have been wanting for a while But by making a product which is tangible yet is used in a joking manner. Huge props to the devs for making this a thing.
Then you should hear about Landfall. Every April Fools they either update one of their games with wacky stuff or make a completely new game. Some of those games are still going strong today. For example: TABG
I'd agree if I didn't know all too well making sure your ideas are good and fixing them so they're not horribly broken takes 10 times as long as implanting something haphazardly.
I’d imagine it works like what Wizards of the Coast does with Magic: The Gathering, where they explore any and all ideas people come up with, keep the ones that work, and put the rest into joke products.
I love how every single stupid thing you could imagine being the solution is just throw the crafting table just pick up the chicken and fly it just grab the skele turret

This is one of the most involved and creative April Fools jokes I've ever seen. They had to code all of these gameplay changes. They basically rebuilt Minecraft to an extent, so they could make a funny... ...and some of the changes are actually awesome.
I gave this update a try after seeing how you completed it and managed to do it in about 8 hours, and it was the most fun I've had playing Minecraft in YEARS. Keep on doing what you do, you glorious maniac.
The pacifist run would be easy because you just have to ride the Ender Dragon and leave, but a run where kill the dragon would be insane. You do damage based on block hardness in this snapshot, so if you can get bedrock from an enderman, then you can 1 shot kill the dragon. Edit: Water also has infinite hardness so you can 1 shot kill the dragon with a water bucket too.
I’m reminded of one summer in Montana where I too ran through the depths of hell wondering where all the bricks were coming from while desperately clinging for dear life to the legs of a barely aloft chicken. Good times.
@@JikuAraiguma Same bro, I too ran through the end braking all the blocks one by one clinging into a skeleton humanoid to shoot down the crystals and getting a free ride to Disney on the ender dragon. Good Times.
Fun fact, the portals, if placed in the overworld, will point towards the stronghold, and the portal will only have the frames with eyes so you can replace them with the once from the fortress and it will always point the right way
Honestly being able to hold and throw mobs and blocks sounds like it could be really fun if it was implemented in the standard game. Maybe with a special pair of gauntlets.
Weightless Gauntlet, made with Deepslate, Shulker Shells, and Iron Ingots. Can also be found in the Deep Dark and End Cities. It lets you carry a block or mob (one at a time) and loses durability when a block or mob is placed/thrown. If it's used on the Ender Dragon, it allows the player to ride it (they can control its movement and fireballs with a Saddle).
There used to be a mod that implemented Half-Life's Gravity Gun that basically did this. Mobs still attacked you while you held them, but you could grab and yeet mobs and blocks (and importantly move blocks that needed silk touch without breaking them). When people talk about their favorite mods from back in the day they usually think Aether or something along those lines, but by far my favorite mod was Gravity Gun, and watching this video brought back memories. Part of me wants to learn Minecraft modding just to have a version of the GG mod that I can play with in current versions.
18:43, he went from happy to sad real fast lmao, this video was hilarious i didn't think there would be so much thought put into the update but im glad there was.
You're supposed to use the end portal frame in the overworld where they will point to where the stronghold is, but this works too I guess. Also, here's some cool info about this version: Holding a bee let's you levitate, you can trade with villagers by giving them an emerald item, you can put a barrel on your head and become a block by crouching, you can smelt/cook things by putting them on fire, glass has a chance to break when thrown, and gravel landing causes fire. Let me know if I missed anything.
honestly the idea of taming the dragon instead of killing it seems so fun. That could make for a good spin-off game, but honestly good on them for making the best april fool's joke of all time
@@akatsukilevi Yes, something like that, but the catch is he can't leave the end. That way it makes people want to build there too, instead of just living in the overworld

With that hold-stacking mechanic, you could “probably” recreate the Town Musicians of Bremen. You would need to stack from bottom to top- a donkey, a dog, a cat, and a chicken Edit: I added “properly” because I don’t know the full mechanics

This doesn’t seem like a dumb idea, it should be a toggle-able feature, maybe add so that you can have one tool at you side but nothing else, and crafting recipes available through books that can be found in the bookcases when you brake them, that’ll make the bookcases have a use
Brake vs Vs Break Brake: I used my break to not hit that family of 5 Break: I broke that kids spine the little girls arm and neck the dads legs the moms hips and the other girls rib cage from hitting that family of 5
One thing I appreciate is that the April fools update is kind of fun in its own right. Although its a joke things like throwing crafting tables to craft are both funny and kind of interesting. I wouldn't recommend trying to beat the game but I love that there is enough substance to at least spend some time fucking around with it
I think it's obvious that the developers want you to be able to win. Otherwise they wouldn't have included these fricking awesome features like throwing a crafting table to craft or pick up mobs to get an ability. The chicken's the best. So cool. xD
I think the portal frame in the nether fortresses is the most obvious part. No need to do that, you could just force the player to manually find the portal randomly and then collect each eye, but they gave them for free
@@Shugunou YES! I loved the infinity snapshot, hell, wrote a warp searching tool to find dimensions with arbitrary blocks, natural and custom biomes, etc. Finding the location of the bookshelf with a specific dimension in the infinite library, and so on. Also ran a server for friends on that snapshot for several months. Sadly there was that one annoying crash due to a certain decorator having bad bounds. Made random exploration really annoying.
i remember someone saying that the april fools updates are mojang with no restrictions from microsoft. as much as i love to join in on the "mojang is lazy" meme, the real enemy seems to be microsoft. they are absolutely capable of making something genuinely fun, but are forced to do things that will please investors. this video really made me kinda sympathise with mojang a lot more. they are not evil or lazy, but they are under tyrannical rule from microsoft.
you are supposed to pick up the end portals and take them to the overworld where they point in the direction of the stronghold so you can build the portal there but ig that also works
The minecraft devs will literally reprogram the entire game and do some of the coolest updates just for one singular day. And then forget about it entirely.
I've always wanted to see a mod similar to this, where it limits your inventory by a considerable degree and makes you have to rely on other things, such as animals, backpacks, and other stuff to reliably move blocks and items. This snapshot looks like a lot of fun.
Mojang devs really put in a lot of thought and effort into this. It isn't just April Fools, but an actually fun mode to play. I'm glad Minecraft has such an awesome dev team behind it!
I watched the entire stream. Gotta say, I want some of the features of this update to stay: placeable tools and the like (though I'd prefer a model over just the sprite); being able to throw blocks, picking up (reasonably sized) mobs like chickens, cats, etc; and riding the dragon! My sister and I threw around an idea last night of being able to hatch the Dragon Egg and taming the baby dragon, which lets you ride it.
@@RobABankWithABagel at that point all they need is a set seed with the end portal complete and then dig down to it and then ride the dragon and they win
2 years later... i've given myself the courage to try to beat it, it is currently 2am, i've been playing for 9 hours straight and just got the "ride the end" achievment, i'd reccomend anyone to try it, even if it took me forever it was very satysfying
The throwing crafting is actually pretty neat, if inconveneient, but getting a creature's abilities when you hold them almost Odyssey-style is very cool
Could we just appreciate how this video was just live streamed YESTERDAY! Hats off to Smant and his team making good quality content for this this quickly.
I got a bunch of skeletons and became a machine gun, you can also throw fire balls from ghast and if you give yourself a bunch of items you can get launched to space
These sorts of 'updates' are one of the few things I love about April fools All the fake news that people 'justify' as a joke is just pain, but then game developers make me feel better
I disagree. IMO, the spirit of april fools is the "HAH- gotchu" moment, rather than enjoying the joke being played on you. in other words, more for the joker than the joked. stuff like this is certainly fun though
Gonna say it the second time, I've been loving the consistent upload you've been doing for the last couple of days. Thank you and we wish you for the best SmallAnt!
I'd love for picking things up to be added to vanilla. Imagine the new cities with the warden, you could find a strength gauntlet that allows this, a refference to zelda.
This is actually awesome. I'm a huge fan of mods like Botania that do as much as possible in-world rather than in-menu. Status displays are graphical, crafting is done by placing blocks and throwing items, etc. If only it wasn't so picky with placement, thus reliant on the manual lol Big potential here for mod inspirations!
I don't know why but for some reason flying to a weird parallel universe with a chicken and an arrow shooting skeleton on my head, fighting a dragon, is exactly what I dreamed of since I was a kid

It's wonderful looking at all the ways the w14 snapshots over the years have turned parts of the game on their heads.

This man could be presented with an MC world void of anything and still manage to beat the Ender dragon
Cant wait for the one grass block and one lava source run.
JokeyPokey beat Minecraft starting on only a block of bedrock. Yes the video was posted on the 1st but I promise you it's not a joke.
@@MudakTheMultiplier Hmm... seems like he used a bugged version, so it's not technically possible in current version.
@@CottidaeSEA I mean, no, but it is possible at all. I've seen dumber version shenanigans.
@@MudakTheMultiplier Yeah, some versions have been awfully broken.
One thing I appreciate is that the April fools update is kind of fun in its own right. Although its a joke things like throwing crafting tables to craft are both funny and kind of interesting. I wouldn't recommend trying to beat the game but I love that there is enough substance to at least spend some time fucking around with it
My first thought upon seeing this was that they turned you into an enderman, stealing one individual block at a time... xD
I think it's obvious that the developers want you to be able to win. Otherwise they wouldn't have included these fricking awesome features like throwing a crafting table to craft or pick up mobs to get an ability. The chicken's the best. So cool. xD
I think the portal frame in the nether fortresses is the most obvious part. No need to do that, you could just force the player to manually find the portal randomly and then collect each eye, but they gave them for free
@@bebgab1971 well "free" Smant traded his sanity and what not so-
Modders need to port this to future versions. 1.19 with this would be epic.
I would like that for some other ones too. Like the Infinity snapshot. That would be really cool. Modders already made locked chests.
@@Shugunou YES! I loved the infinity snapshot, hell, wrote a warp searching tool to find dimensions with arbitrary blocks, natural and custom biomes, etc. Finding the location of the bookshelf with a specific dimension in the infinite library, and so on. Also ran a server for friends on that snapshot for several months.
Sadly there was that one annoying crash due to a certain decorator having bad bounds. Made random exploration really annoying.
@@animowany111 Could I have a link to the tool? That sounds really useful.
This is actually so cool. Minus the tedious block breaking, I think this would be a reallly cool run to see optinized
ur pfp isnt chippy its choppy
probably find synergies with mob stacking
you can probably find mobs and stack them for abilities to do this stuff faster
@@guymanhumanperson actually true lmao I love that
i remember someone saying that the april fools updates are mojang with no restrictions from microsoft. as much as i love to join in on the "mojang is lazy" meme, the real enemy seems to be microsoft. they are absolutely capable of making something genuinely fun, but are forced to do things that will please investors.
this video really made me kinda sympathise with mojang a lot more. they are not evil or lazy, but they are under tyrannical rule from microsoft.
11:20 - Smallant is such a gamer, he just RKO'd an enderman
I like how you can do wresting in this version
def my favorite part

you are supposed to pick up the end portals and take them to the overworld where they point in the direction of the stronghold so you can build the portal there but ig that also works
The minecraft devs will literally reprogram the entire game and do some of the coolest updates just for one singular day. And then forget about it entirely.
I've always wanted to see a mod similar to this, where it limits your inventory by a considerable degree and makes you have to rely on other things, such as animals, backpacks, and other stuff to reliably move blocks and items. This snapshot looks like a lot of fun.
Like maybe just the hotbar
@@trequor yeah exactly. Or maybe even half of it. Letting you upgrade it to its full length later on.
donkey will be useful
dont starves vanilla inventory is pretty similar to this iirc
Mojang devs really put in a lot of thought and effort into this. It isn't just April Fools, but an actually fun mode to play.
I'm glad Minecraft has such an awesome dev team behind it!
I’m impressed with Minecraft the amount of work and new features they put for an April fools update

Can we all take a minute to appreciate how this man beat the game with a chicken and a skeleton
mad respect for the chicken; lil guy really helped him through it all
@@DelightfullyGraceBut as real hero he gave his life in the end…
I watched the entire stream. Gotta say, I want some of the features of this update to stay: placeable tools and the like (though I'd prefer a model over just the sprite); being able to throw blocks, picking up (reasonably sized) mobs like chickens, cats, etc; and riding the dragon! My sister and I threw around an idea last night of being able to hatch the Dragon Egg and taming the baby dragon, which lets you ride it.
Hatching and taming a dragon egg, classic
13:30 nice blaze impression
imagine getting a speedrun category for this lmao, would be nice af
No inventory percent
@@ewanb1086 technically you could hold 3 items at a time
@@RobABankWithABagel at that point all they need is a set seed with the end portal complete and then dig down to it and then ride the dragon and they win
@@Sur3sT according to wiki, you need to find end portal frames in nether, as they don't generate in strongholds
they probably will xd
SmallAnt always gets the W, no matter how weird the challenge is.
He is just too OP 🔥
He would not do it if it was impossible and he is very persistent.
This feels like what "Adventure Mode" should have been
Adventure mode was specifically for map makers.
Bozo
100% agree.
YEEEEEEEEESS
ikr, all these loser talking about why it was actually made and for some reason think that this isn't a better adventure mode xD
2 years later... i've given myself the courage to try to beat it, it is currently 2am, i've been playing for 9 hours straight and just got the "ride the end" achievment, i'd reccomend anyone to try it, even if it took me forever it was very satysfying
i have to say i love how this started to genuinely become really cool with the mob abilities
We need to make this an actual speedrun category.
I really hope the generic_item_block makes it into the actual game. This april fools update is highkey awesome
They should have called it the enderman update, that would have been hilarious.
Hehe, oh wow, this would potentially be a more immersive way to play an old scavenger hunt map I made where you play as a (short, stubby) Enderman.
This is actually an interesting concept good job mojang
NodeCore plays very similar to this if you want to see a full game that explores this concept.
@@dafoex no thanks, this is quite enough lmao
It's good for an April Fool's joke, not an entire game.
The concept was good too but the execution was even better IMO. The attention to details in it makes it so fun
they have done this before
@@PACAD318 not april fools in general, specifically this rendition of it
Wow, they actually put a lot of work into this update. Playing this version is going to be super popular for challenges.
I can imagine this becoming a real speed run category.
Same
They should add Ride the Dragon to the main game as a way to beat the game with a pacifist route.
6:40 I love how it took Smant a few moments to register that he's about to explode
I'd actually really love to see people beat this version within like 10 minutes
this is probably minecraft's best update by far this year
maybe because it's the only update this year
The throwing crafting is actually pretty neat, if inconveneient, but getting a creature's abilities when you hold them almost Odyssey-style is very cool
the infinity update is better
i don't have minecraft lol
@@sakshamgarg8105 sads
Actually hilarious how he crafting in this works but also somehow ingenious
The bugged portal reaction was probably the funniest shit I’ve ever seen oh my lord
18:54 I don’t see the problem. As an ant, this should be a piece of cake for you.
Could we just appreciate how this video was just live streamed YESTERDAY! Hats off to Smant and his team making good quality content for this this quickly.
frr i could watch only like an hour of the stream and this is already here
I got a bunch of skeletons and became a machine gun, you can also throw fire balls from ghast and if you give yourself a bunch of items you can get launched to space
Chat: “You monster.”
Smallant: “Don’t worry I hate adults too.”
These sorts of 'updates' are one of the few things I love about April fools
All the fake news that people 'justify' as a joke is just pain, but then game developers make me feel better
I disagree. IMO, the spirit of april fools is the "HAH- gotchu" moment, rather than enjoying the joke being played on you. in other words, more for the joker than the joked. stuff like this is certainly fun though
Gonna say it the second time, I've been loving the consistent upload you've been doing for the last couple of days. Thank you and we wish you for the best SmallAnt!
This was so refreshing and cool. The chicken was the true MVP of this run lol
By far the coolest, most absurd ender dragon fight I’ve ever witnessed.
11:58 I love how he throws it like a frisbee lmao
how do you say it is it :
L - M - A - O
or

Imagine you're a blaze and you see your friend get carried out by a man to get beaten to death with cream
20:10 Her Name's Jeane. Yes, The Ender Dragon's name is Jeane.
I thought it was "Jean?"
@@Arrows_tip it is though 🤔
I'd love for picking things up to be added to vanilla. Imagine the new cities with the warden, you could find a strength gauntlet that allows this, a refference to zelda.
I love how they had to do the crafting system with actual placing the objects in the right order and throwing a crafting table at it.
This is actually awesome. I'm a huge fan of mods like Botania that do as much as possible in-world rather than in-menu. Status displays are graphical, crafting is done by placing blocks and throwing items, etc. If only it wasn't so picky with placement, thus reliant on the manual lol
Big potential here for mod inspirations!
I like mods like that too! Personally I’ve been playing a bunch of terrafirmacraft

I don't know why but for some reason flying to a weird parallel universe with a chicken and an arrow shooting skeleton on my head, fighting a dragon, is exactly what I dreamed of since I was a kid
Cant believe this April Fools update is such a freaking interesting concept that changes gameplay into something so different
