Is the Minecraft April Fools update on Bedrock? - Answered

Minecraft has received a surprisingly big April Fool's update, and a question that has bugged a lot of players is whether the new snapshot is available for Bedrock. And the answer to that is: yes, the April Fool’s snapshot is available for the Bedrock version.

But unlike Java players, those who play the Bedrock edition have to take a slightly different route to reach the absurd yet fun world. So, here’s how to get the potato dimension in Minecraft Bedrock edition.

If you're playing on Java, all you need to do is install the latest update using the Minecraft Launcher and start playing it. But if you're a Bedrock player, you cannot download the snapshot, unfortunately, and need to get the add-on.

The Minecraft Marketplace has a lot of add-ons, and one of them is the Poisonous Potato add-on developed by Jigarbov Productions. This provides everything that the snapshot brings for the Java edition, and the best thing is that it is completely free.

To download the add-on, follow these steps:

• Head over to the game's Marketplace and search for Poisonous Potato.
• Download and install it in the game.
• From the settings option, head over to the Resources and Behaviour Packs tab.
• Find the Poisonous Potato tab and then activate it.

Coming to the Minecraft April Fool’s update, the poisonous potato add-on brings a lot of different things to the game. The long list includes a new dimension with five different biomes, potato armor, new tools such as the potato peeler and the lashing potato, and much more.

One of the interesting things about this add-on/update is that players can now fry potatoes using the fryer and eat them. Also, there are potato wood and potato mobs as well. The new dimension has potato chickens, potato sheep, potato everything; even the hostile mobs have been "potatofied."

But the most interesting and challenging thing in this Minecraft add-on is the boss mob; the Mega Spud. It can be found in a colosseum-like structure, and defeating it is quite challenging. The boss is surrounded by an elder guardian, and it has a poisonous attack as well.

So get into the crazy poisonous potato dimension, get the potato armor set along with the polytra wings (which is the potato version of Elytra wings), and try defeating the giant potato. The Minecraft April Fool’s update could not have been better.
