Poisonous Potato Update
by nNined
Poisonous Potato Update, an April Fools-style content mod, adds a poisonous potato theme to Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21 with new terrain, mechanics and a Floatatar entity.
What it does
Most of the content comes from the April Fools snapshot 24w14potato, including a new dimension, boss structures and the Floatatar, which is described as functioning. Toxic resin mechanics are implemented, and a Special Fletching Table is crafted from the regular Fletching Block. The mod also replaces the splash screen and the game menu, so the title screen looks different after installation.
The author notes that terrain generation differs slightly from the original version, and that portal functionality has non-critical differences. Fabric API is required on every loader, so it must be installed alongside Poisonous Potato Update. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across seven release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it not open source.
