I Was Just Joking 🧨
A lighthearted prank mod for Minecraft — blocks and items that look exactly like the real thing… but are entirely fake.
I Was Just Joking is a small, friendly joke mod that adds harmless look-alikes of some of Minecraft's most exciting blocks and items. Every prank is carefully designed to be safe: nothing explodes for real, nothing gets destroyed, and nobody loses their builds. The only thing at risk is your friends' trust.
What's inside:
- 🧨 Fake TNT — lights up, hisses, and bounces exactly like the real thing… then fizzles into a puff of smoke. No boom, no damage, no holes in your base.
- 🪵 Fake Chest — looks and animates like a normal chest. Opening it springs a friendly (already-lit) creeper on you. Hiss.
- 💎 Fake Diamond Ore & 💠 Fake Diamond — requires an iron pickaxe to mine, just like real diamond ore, and rewards you with a diamond that can't craft, repair, or power anything at all.
- 🎚️ Fake Lever — clacks on with a satisfying clack, refuses to turn off, and emits no redstone signal whatsoever.
Why players like it:
- Pixel-perfect visuals — every prank reuses vanilla models and textures, so nothing looks out of place until the punchline.
- Safe by design — pranks never cause real explosions, block damage, or item loss. Perfect for family-friendly servers and content creators.
- Broad compatibility — one mod, four loaders: NeoForge 1.21.1, Forge 1.20.1, Fabric 1.21.1, and Quilt 1.20.1.
- Lightweight — tiny file size, no dependencies (Fabric API only on Fabric/Quilt), and no performance impact.
- Works everywhere — pranks work in singleplayer and on servers alike.
Great for pranking friends, adding spice to an SMP, or making content that gets a genuine laugh out of everyone involved.
