Java Edition 20w14∞

20w14∞ is an April Fools' joke released on April 1, 2020.

Blocks

 * Box of Infinite Books Yellow.pngBox of Infinite Books Blue.pngBox of Infinite Books Red.pngBox of Infinite Books Green.png Box of Infinite Books
 * The Box of Infinite Books has a namespaced ID of minecraft:book_box
 * It uses the texture of oak planks on all but one face, on which it has its own bookshelf-like texture randomized based on its location.
 * When, a random written book is generated. This book can be thrown into the nether portal.
 * The random books are tied to the block such that using the same box multiple times will always return an identical book.
 * The title of the random books given by the block is correlated with the location of the block.
 * The title's pattern seems to be [Chunk X]/[Chunk Z]/[Facing direction]/[X]/[Y]
 * The books on the texture are a random color.
 * The author of every book is "Universe itself" and the pages contain random text

New  Block


 * If any written book — whether obtained from the Box of Infinite Books or written by a player — is thrown into a nether portal, the portal will change to the neither portal block. Entering the portal will generate a new dimension with random blocks and random colors.
 * After throwing the book into the portal, the book is destroyed. It will not go through the portal after having changed it.
 * Throwing identical books into different nether portals will change the nether portal to send you to the same dimension.


 * A changed nether portal from a book and quill will change the blocks with  as their namespaced ID to   blocks.
 * The  blocks are block entities.
 * Running  on them returns the data that includes what dimension it will take you to.
 * It seems that the blocks dimension data must be correlated with its color. Portals for the same dimension have the same color.
 * Using  will set the block and give it randomized block data as to what dimension it will take you to.


 * Generated Dimensions




 * The generated dimensions will have randomized mobs appear such as giants and withers.


 * The generated dimensions will have random speed of day/night cycles.
 * The generated dimensions can have random structures.
 * The generated dimensions have nether-style generation, with a bedrock ceiling at Y level 128 and the cave generation seen in the Nether.
 * There are exactly 2,147,483,647 possible dimensions.
 * Of the possible dimensions, some have been found to be some pretty cool easter eggs. Write the provided string into a book and quill, sign it with whatever title you want, and throw it into any nether portal to get a portal to the described dimension. This can also be done with.
