Minecraft players just got a preview packed with sulfur caves, bouncy springs, and chaotic features that feel straight out of an April Fools update. Plus, some actual April Fools update.

Minecraft recently showcased an exciting array of new features during its Minecraft Live event, introducing players to sulfur caves, sulfur cubes, and more. For those eager to dive into these updates, Mojang has made them available for preview in the Bedrock Edition. Meanwhile, Java Edition enthusiasts can look forward to the annual tradition of an April Fools snapshot.

Minecraft’s sulfur themed update, now in preview

The sulfur update is now accessible for players on Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, allowing them to experience the new features firsthand. Mojang encourages feedback from players to help refine and enhance the update further.

Minecraft’s annual April Fools update

As April Fools approaches, Mojang has prepared a whimsical snapshot for Minecraft: Java Edition, continuing its tradition of playful updates. Past years have seen the introduction of quirky features like the 2020 Endless Dimensions snapshot and the 2024 Poisonous Potato update, which included a grappling hook. This year, Mojang presents Herdcraft, a unique update that completely transforms the concept of inventory. Instead of managing items in a traditional inventory, players will find the entire world becomes their inventory. This intriguing twist allows players to command an arsenal of weapons to engage enemies, such as Creepers, in a novel way.

For those interested in exploring the latest Java Edition snapshot, simply open the Minecraft Launcher, enable snapshots, and select the “Latest Snapshot” option. What are your thoughts on these latest updates? The playful spirit of April Fools can add a delightful twist to the gaming experience, provided it remains clear that these features are meant for fun rather than serious additions.
