Inspired by Minecraft's April Fools updates.

Useless but Cool Additions is a mod inspired by Minecraft's official April Fools updates. Its goal is to add a variety of new content that may be useful, questionable, or completely unnecessary.

Most additions are designed to be discovered naturally during gameplay. Because of that, this page only showcases a few examples of what you might encounter.

Highlights

Wooden Bat

An early-game item capable of applying a ridiculously excessive amount of knockback to any creature without dealing damage.

Features:

  • Deals no damage.
  • Launches mobs far away.
  • Produces a satisfying "bonk!" sound.

Legendary Artifact

A mysterious artifact that can be obtained in several ways:

  • Through trades with a Wandering Trader.
  • Magically obtained after taming a wolf.

But one question remains:

What happens if you give the artifact to a tamed wolf?

Inspired by Undertale.

Music Discs

The mod adds a large collection of music discs, including:

  • Magnetic Circuit, a track created by Notch that was accidentally included in Minecraft Java Edition Alpha v1.1.1.
  • Various tracks from Minecraft's official albums composed by C418.

Random Additions

Some additions exist simply because they can.

  • Tilling dirt may drop seeds.
  • Using a shovel on grass may drop flowers.
  • Zombies can spawn holding Wooden Bats.
  • Zombies can spawn riding wolves.
  • And many other random mechanics scattered throughout the game.

Development

Useless but Cool Additions is not a finished project.

The mod will continue to receive new ideas, content, and experiments over time. Whenever something funny, interesting, or unnecessary enough comes to mind, there's a good chance it will end up being added.

Notes

Not every feature will be documented here.

Part of the fun is discovering them on your own.
