On April Fools, gaming companies and developers all spend pranks and laughs all over the internet in honor of this silly holiday, and this time, Minecraft has done something that is pretty wild. This year’s Minecraft April Fool’s joke features Poisonous Potatoes, which is really different from the ones we have gotten in the past. Underneath the title of the video game, it reads, “Turning pointless into everything.
While fans have excitedly been awaiting the next big Minecraft update, it is hilarious that the developers have released a whole blog article discussing what things will come in this “Poisonous Potatoes update” and some of its contents are pretty wild. The video that shared is even more hilarious.
There is a brand new dimension that features a new biome that players can explore through the Potato Portal. According to GameRant, this portal will only open once a Poisonous Potato is placed on the pedestal. There is also a brand new boss called the Mega Spud, which Is the Potatolord of the Fired Legion…isn’t this crazy while entertaining?
