Looking to inject some light-hearted chaos into your Minecraft world? April Fools Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) brings a hilarious collection of unexpected features and absurd mechanics that are normally triggered on April 1st but thanks to full configurability, you can unleash the madness any time you want.
