I want to make a Mod for April Fool's Day. One idea that occurred to me was to just implement literally any idea that occurred to me, however ill advised. (Given that it's to be an April Fool's Day Mod, especially ill-advised ones.) It might seem a bit early to start working on an April Fool's Day mod, but believe me, I want this to be rather ambitious...
Anyways, I figured I might as well ask random people online for some more ideas, and keep track of everything I've come up with (and intend to add) so far. Please share your terrible ideas! If the idea is bad, (and bad in an amusing way), I'll add it, and possibly credit whomever comes up with it.
In short, I need ideas. Phenomenally bad ideas. The kind of ideas that would cause the most talented of Minecrafters to grimace in bemused disgust. I've jotted down some of my own thusfar.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
World Gen
700+ New Structures
...All of which are just the word 'Minecraft' in different sizes and made of different blocks scattered literally everywhere.
Mostly made of painfully strobing rainbow blocks. (See below.)
Junk Yard
A trashy new biome that consists entirely of garbage and half finished structures.
Makes up the majority of the Overworld.
Opulence
A Biome in which literally everything is made of valuable late game materials, with no hazards whatsoever.
Should be fairly common.
Creeper Woods
A mossy new biome that consists primarily of creepers and large piles of explosives.
Diorite Plains
A lovely new biome that consists entirely of diorite.
Frosted Slopes
A biome that consists entirely of candy. (Chocolate dirt, rock candy, caramel ore, hard candy trees, licorice grasse, etc.) As per the FDA's diet recommendations, all candy items decrease your hunger bar instead of increasing it.
Slime Chunks
Randomly replace everything in them with slime.
Abstract Shape Zone
A geometric new biome entirely filled with abstract shapes.
Flesh Maw
A visceral biome consisting entirely of flesh and internal organs.
Excessive Cacti
Copious amounts of Cacti generate literally anywhere with sand.
Snowmen
Found in snowy biomes.
Ranges from small to several-story-building size.
Broken/Misplaced Structures
Weirdly generating Vanilla structures, such as Ocean Monuments in the Nether, Villager houses in the middle of nowhere, Igloos in the desert, etc.
Traps Disguised as Natural Features
Trees, Ore veins, etc.
Giant Pillars of Random Blocks
Just like we always wanted!
Sheikha Towers
Allows players with a Sheikha Slate, (Not included), to teleport around the map.
Holes
Varisized square holes that generate basically everywhere at the surface level, making random deformed cutouts in the terrain.
Larger holes generate in the ocean, resulting in a hopelessly broken surface layer.
Items
Cleaning Supplies
Includes Mops, Brooms, and Vacuum cleaners, each of which comes in wood, iron, gold, diamond, and Netherite variants.
Exclusively used to clean up Filth. Also ghosts.
Moby ****
Herman Melville's famous whaling novel.
Double Jump Boots
Allows the player to jump in midair.
Can be used indefinitely.
Iron Boots
Prevents the player from moving.
Cannot be removed.
Internal Organs
An enormous variety of flesh-type items that can be obtained from animals in order to make you feel better about murdering them.
Non Disclosure Agreement
For legal purposes.
Revealing Undergarments
Sure, why not.
Magic Wands
Fire Wand, Earth Wand, Steel Wand, Cake Wand, Goat Wand, Cell Phone Wand, Doctorial Wand, Home Owner's Wand, etc.
Pre-Fab Homes
Comes in several tiers.
Immediately builds a house of increasingly ludicrious size when used, with no regard whatsoever for the surroundings.
Potions
Have a 50% chance of actually granting their corresponding effect instead of a randomly selected one.
Have an even more annoying sound effect than before.
3D Glasses
Allows you to play Minecraft in 3D.
Robucks
A superior form of currency.
Rotten Foods
Rotten Meat, vegetables, fruits, fish, etc. Literally all foods rot almost immediately after collecting them.
Rotten Foods grant a variety of new and unpleasant status effects when eaten.
Trash Can
Used to clean out the player's inventory, by randomly deleting stuff from it.
Boomerangs
Which either will not come back, or will come back and immediately kill you.
Web Gun
A Gun that shoots webs.
Candy
An enormous variety of elaborate confections, including Bon Bons, hard Candies, Licorice, Chocolate, Lollipops, etc; all with multiple variants and assosiated blocks, crafted using a complex new system of confectionary.
Candy is bad for you, and thus, eating any of these items decreases your hunger bar instead of increasing it.
Candy toolset that can be eaten.
Candy themed biome in which literally everything consists entirely of candy.
New building materials, such as Chocolate, which melts when exposed to any light source.
Trading Cards
Can be obtained completely at random.
Cards consist of various mobs, items, and equipment.
Each card has a regular and more powerful shiny variant.
Different cards have different offensive, defensive, cost, and modifier abilities.
There is an extremely complicated game system that allows you to build decks out of various cards you find, and use them to battle AI and other players in an Inscryption-style card dueling game.
Elytra
Now break randomly to simulate the dangers of air travel.
Junk Food
Can be obtained from vending machines found scattered throughout the world.
Isn't particularly nutritious.
Flowers
A couple additional varieties of flowers, all of which just make dyes of their corresponding color and do nothing else noteworthy. Here's a small selection, based on a quick web search; all of which will, naturally, have to have flower pot variants to boot:
Daffodils (A small, star-shaped yellow flower)
Bluebell (Essentially a darker blue version of the swamp orchid)

Allamanda (Light yellow flowers)
Blocks & Materials
Rainbow
New mineral with a painfully colorful strobing texture; looking at rainbow blocks for too long hurts your eyes, literally dealing damage to the player.
Can be used to produce tools and weapons 10,000 times more powerful and efficient than diamond.
Comes in Ore, Ingot, Block, and Tile variants.
Can be found pretty much everywhere in the form of several hundred new structures, all of which are just the word 'Minecraft' spelled out in painfully strobing rainbow blocks.

Can be used to make a wide variety of incredibly amazing items with no use cases whatsoever.
Also spreads uncontrollably, replacing everything in its path with new features.
Uranium
New ore that can be found fairly deep underground, and in garbage heaps. Proximity to any Uranium items or materials gradually eradiates blocks, players, and mobs.
Is an incredibly efficient fuel source. (But reduces everything it smelts to an eradiated mess.)
Causes radiation poisoning, which ranges from mild to severe.
Makes ridiculous explosives.
Additional Ores
Tin, Silver, Nickle, Zinc, Tungsten, and Aluminum Ores can be found very commonly throughout the world.
All of them have ingot and block forms, and literally no other uses.
Most other ores have been moved to Bejewled dirt to compensate for how much space these take up.
Bejewled Dirt
Like regular dirt, but with large amounts of valuable ores in it.
Can be found pretty much everywhere.

Light Sources randomly go out shortly after being placed.

Fridge

Garbage
A disgusting block that drops random stuff when mined.
Filth

Explodes if you try to craft anything explosive.
Sometimes yields the wrong amount of items.

Textured Blocks
For the sake of Nostalgia, random patches of blocks are replaced with their 1.12 Programmer Textures.
Furnaces

Stacks of blocks are occasionally replaced by blocks of a similar color.
Mobs
Killer Rabbits
Not only do these now spawn naturally, they also replace all existing rabbits.
Flying Pigs
Objectively better than regular pigs.
Baby Zombies
Might as well just double down and make the things practically invincible.

Also, Baby zombies have decent chances of spawning with high level enchanted armor.

Eradiated Entities
Like normal entities, but gradually succumbing to cancerous tumors caused by longterm exposure to radioactive materials.
Mobbo
Why not?
Silverfish
Infest literally everything they touch, including blocks that previously could not be infested.
Miscellaneous Bad Ideas
Sweden
Sweden is a really lovely song, and, as such, all songs, (including Music Discs), should just be replaced with Sweden.
Nerf Loot Tables
Every single loot table in the game has been nerfed, (and now includes Nerf dart guns), with the exception of the Fishing Loot Table, which can now be used to obtain incredibly rare items.
Pop-Up Advertisements
In order to thank my many sponsors. Probably won't have all that negative an impact on gameplay.
Lightning
To educate players on the dangers posed by bad weather, storms are more common, and lightning randomly strikes at the player's exact location.
Commands
Commands are fun. Therefore, whenever a command is used, other commands trigger randomly.
Several new commands have been added with identical names to existing commands, but very different functions.
Incredibly Detailed Marble Bust?
This one seems pretty self explanatory.
Randomized Projectiles
To mirror the difficulty of becoming proficient with real world ranged weapons, arrow trajectories will be completely randomized when fired.
Additional Achievements
To make the game feel more enticing, ought to reward players for lesser achievements. Jumping. Moving. Mining twelve thousand netherite blocks. That sort of thing.
Remove Diamonds
It's not like anyone will miss them.
Randomized Random Tick Speed
Exponentially more random.
Randomized Nametags & Naming
Using a name tag on something does not, in fact, randomly select a name for that thing, but instead names that thing Stanley.
Attempting to rename anything in an Anvil instead changes the name of that item to Stanley.
Remove Herobrine
Not sure how to do this, so I might just leave him in the game instead.
Time is Arbitrary
For added realism.
Chest Locking System
Players can create locks for their chests.
Keys break randomly, all look identical, and randomly disappear from your inventory.
No amount of begging will allow you to get your stuff back.
Pets Give You Allergies
Again, added realism.
Incredibly Long Stanley Parable Narration Monologue that Triggers by Interacting with an Adventure Line
I mean, people have been asking for this since at least 2012.
Rearranged Block Tags
Probably won't cause any issues.
The Netherworld can Spontaneously Light you on Fire
Again, for added realism.
Additional Settings
It feels like the game could use some more.
In Game Purchases
This is just flat out a missed oppurtunity, really.
Beds Explode in the Overworld
Currently, using a Bed in the Overworld dimension causes you to sleep in it.
Xerox Alto Desktop Computer
Allows you to play Minecraft within Minecraft (By adding a computer-screen overlay, clearing the inventory, and teleporting you somewhere random.)
Has a Text Editor (With exclusively prewritten documents you can type sending heated complaints to Mojang)
Has a Search Engine (Which could have various amusing secrets, but would mostly just not do anything.)
Allows you to buy stuff with Robucks, which is then shipped to you from the sky at terminal velocity.
You should add a cheese guitar house, replacing all village houses with houses shaped like a guitar and made out of cheese blocks.
Also, make every unemployed villager turn into a nitwit after 30 seconds. Librarians should also act like the warden, attacking you when you make any noise, kind of like they do in real life...
I want to make a Mod for April Fool's Day. One idea that occurred to me was to just implement literally any idea that occurred to me, however ill advised. (Given that it's to be an April Fool's Day Mod, especially ill-advised ones.)
