Mojang Studios continues its tradition of quirky April Fools' updates with the announcement of the 'Herdcraft' update for Minecraft, set to be released on April 1, 2026. This year, players will experience a significant change in how they manage items, as they will no longer be stored in the inventory. Instead, items will follow players around, allowing them to command these items to perform various tasks, including attacking mobs. While crafting is still possible, it requires players to direct items to designated slots, creating a unique gameplay experience. The update is exclusive to the Java version of Minecraft, and players are advised to back up their existing worlds to prevent any potential issues. This bizarre twist on item management promises to keep the spirit of fun and pranking alive within the Minecraft community.
