Mojang’s annual April Fools’ Day Minecraft snapshot is always highly anticipated because it showcases some of the most bizarre and unusual features in the game. These experimental versions are designed to offer players unexpected gameplay elements, such as the infinite dimensions introduced in Snapshot 20w14. April Fools’ pictures have become a popular tradition, with fans looking forward to some wild surprises each year.
However, it’s worth noting that these snapshots are exclusive to the Java edition of Minecraft. Players on other platforms will not be able to experience these unconventional versions.
New Features in Minecraft Vote Update Snapshot
23w13a_or_b is an April Fools’ Minecraft snapshot of 2023 titled The Vote Update. As the name suggests, it adds a system that allows players to vote for gameplay features and mechanics that will be implemented in-game.

In the announcement video, the narrator revealed that the developers had been working on this snapshot since early 2017. Upon creating a world in this snapshot, players will find themselves involved in endless voting as various proposals come up. Players can answer them through the GUI which can be accessed by pressing V,

In-game options will be implemented immediately, allowing players to change the rules of Minecraft. A new “I Voted” goal can also be unlocked by voting once in a new world. There may still be some progress later as that menu appears empty for now in this snapshot.

We couldn’t decide to make a ‘B’ snapshot this week, but they had a bunch of ideas so I guess you can pick it up for yourself if you want. Minecraft Snapshot 23w13a_or_b is now available in Launcher! minecraft.net/article/vote-u
Snapshot comes with a bunch of new additions.
new blocks and items
- Cheese: Can be found on the dimension of the Moon
- Mob Bottle: Allows players and mobs to morph
- Potion of Small: Decreases the size of the unit
- Big Potion: Increases the size of the unit

A new variety of cows called Moon Cows has been added, and they can be found on the Lunar Dimension. This tangled mob moves backwards and drops glass bottles, bones and cheese when it dies.

A new dimension has been added, which can be accessed through voting for proposals that increase the size of the Moon. Voting for this proposal three times would increase the size of the Moon to the point where its gravitational force would start pulling objects away from Earth.
Eventually, the player will enter the dimension of the Moon, where land is made from a new cheese block, Moon Cows are born, and Moon Rovers emerge. As expected, there is less gravity here. Therefore, players can jump higher than normal and not sustain fall damage.
