Inspired by Minecraft's April Fools updates.

Useless but Cool Additions is a mod inspired by Minecraft's official April Fools updates. Its goal is to add a variety of new content that may be useful, questionable, or completely unnecessary.

Most additions are designed to be discovered naturally during gameplay. Because of that, this page only showcases a few examples of what you might encounter.

Highlights

Wooden Bat

An early-game item capable of applying a ridiculously excessive amount of knockback to any creature without dealing damage.

Features:

Deals no damage.
Launches mobs far away.
Produces a satisfying "bonk!" sound.

Legendary Artifact

A mysterious artifact that can be obtained in several ways:

Through trades with a Wandering Trader.
Magically obtained after taming a wolf.

But one question remains:

What happens if you give the artifact to a tamed wolf?

Inspired by Undertale.

Music Discs

The mod adds a large collection of music discs, including:

Magnetic Circuit, a track created by Notch that was accidentally included in Minecraft Java Edition Alpha v1.1.1.
Various tracks from Minecraft's official albums composed by C418.

Random Additions

Some additions exist simply because they can.

Tilling dirt may drop seeds.
Using a shovel on grass may drop flowers.
Zombies can spawn holding Wooden Bats.
Zombies can spawn riding wolves.
And many other random mechanics scattered throughout the game.

Development

Useless but Cool Additions is not a finished project.

The mod will continue to receive new ideas, content, and experiments over time. Whenever something funny, interesting, or unnecessary enough comes to mind, there's a good chance it will end up being added.

Notes

Not every feature will be documented here.

Part of the fun is discovering them on your own.
