Minecraft player discovers a way to wear barrels using in latest snapshot

During this hilarious video, Redditors can see u/Trard picking up the barrel and then throwing it up into the air before it comes crashing down on them and getting stuck on their head.

u/Trard spends a few minutes walking around, while a sheep walks onto the barrel atop their head. The camera then shifts to them walking around inside the barrel like Solid Snake from the Metal Gear games.

Many of the Redditors thought this snapshot was hilarious

Of course, since the snapshot took place on April Fools Day, the ability to place a barrel on a player's head was indeed a bizarre and hilarious way of utilizing it.

Some players questioned the authenticity of the snapshot, stating that there was no way it was real. However, it is a real snapshot that players can access by enabling snapshots in the Java Launcher Installations tab.

There were a lot of references to Metal Gear in the Reddit post, particularly the lines when the voice actor for Solid Snake, David Hayter, spoke about being "dummy thicc." Of course, this well-known trope of hiding in a box and walking in Metal Gear makes it obvious that this is what the sneaky block is referring to.
