After the addition of the last Easter egg, Jens "Jeb" Bergensten, the game's lead creative designer, wanted to add something similar. Therefore, he added an Easter egg. When a sheep is named "jeb_," it will become a color-changing sheep that will cycle through all the rainbow colors.

When a player launches the game, there's a 0.01% chance of the title screen saying "MINCERAFT" instead of the correct name. Sometimes, the beginnings of the crash logs can have the phrase "You should try our sister game, Minceraft!"

1) The infinity dimension

On every April fool's day, Mojang adds something to the game as a joke. But last year, a whole new snapshot of the game was released that boasted infinite dimensions. On that day, the launcher had a new snapshot labeled as 20w14infinite.

The snapshot has 2,147,483,645 new dimensions with Easter eggs in some of them. Some new blocks with cool names such as "Swaggiest stairs ever" were also present in the snapshot.
