On almost every single April Fool's Day, Mojang creates a fun and bizarre version of Minecraft for players to download. This particular version of the game usually does not have any major features that will be coming in the future. Rather, it contains several new ones simply for fun and pranks. The developer recently posted a YouTube video and an article showcasing The Vote Update snapshot.
