Minecraft Launches Playable April Fools Herdcraft Snapshot That Deletes the Inventory

The opt-in Java snapshot turns items into controllable spirits.

Overview

  • Mojang released the Herdcraft April Fools snapshot for Java Edition on Wednesday, available by enabling snapshots in the Launcher under “Latest Snapshot.”
  • The update removes the inventory and replaces it with item and block spirits that follow the player and act on commands.
  • Crafting moves onto the ground with a placed grid, and weapons can be ordered to gang up on foes.
  • Mojang advises backing up worlds or using a separate folder before installing, with a quick revert by selecting “Latest Release.”
  • Players can try build 26w14a on Java Realms, and response ranges from praise to criticism as the prank continues Mojang’s April 1 tradition.
