This article documents an April Fools' joke.

There is no actual "One Block at a Time Update" version of Minecraft in development.

22w13oneBlockAtATime (known as 22w13oneblockatatime in the launcher) is an April Fools' joke snapshot, supposedly the first and only snapshot for the "One Block at a Time Update", released on April 1, 2022,^[1] which overhauled the player's inventory as well as the game logic for blocks, items and entities, and redesigned relevant gameplay aspects such as controlling, breaking and crafting. This version seems to be a fork of 1.18.2.

Additions

Blocks

Item Block

All items converted into item blocks.

Gameplay

Advancements

Added a new advancement:
- Ride the End
  - Description reads "Extra Good luck"
  - Obtained for punching the Ender Dragon, causing the player to ride her
  - It is also possible to ride the dragon in the End,

This can only be done after you destroyed all end crystals on the pillars. This is quite difficult to pull off in Survival mode. As you will have to punch the dragon multiple times, Using creative mode will help as you can fly around and follow the ender-dragon

Player

Leaves a trail of footprints while holding anything.
When a player throws a block at another entity, the entity will be damaged.
When a player throws a block at another player, there is a chance the block will go into the helmet slot of the receiving player. Taking damage will remove it.
- When the block on the player's head is snow, a snow block, ice, packed ice, or blue ice, the player will begin freezing.
- When the block on the player's head is a barrel, their vision is obscured, and their playermodel appears as just their legs sticking out of the barrel.
  - Sneaking while wearing a barrel will disguise the player as a barrel block.
In Spectator Mode, the two hands of player are visible.

The End

Riding the Ender dragon or falling out of the End teleports you to build limit in the overworld.

General

Particles

Added footstep particle, generated when player walks holding anything.

Splashes

All splashes have been replaced with every possible arrangement of the five words "One block at a time!" and each one of them, in total $A_{5}^{5}+5=125$ lines.

General

All items can be placed on the ground as blocks.

  - Throwing an item directly on the player's head will equip it in the helmet slot.

Items can be crafted by placing a recipe above a grid of crafting tables, throwing the last item (recipe patterns top facing north)
- Alternatively the recipe can be placed and a crafting table thrown to land on the recipe
Tools may be used but break with one use.
Certain items (e.g. top of the door, tall grass, etc) have "invalid" block data and will disappear when they land (as a item). It is still possible to place them, however.

- Endermen when held will teleport the player along with them.
- Some mobs like the ender dragon behave like rideable entities.
- Some mobs like the wither cannot be ridden or picked up.
To damage mobs, the player has to:
- Throw it up in the sky so the mob can take fall damage
- Throw any block, item or entity at the mob.
- Release them in a stacked group of two or more (some doesn't work)
- Different blocks deal different amounts of damage based on their blast resistance; the formula seems to be the blast resistance times ten.
- Some mobs like the ender dragon cannot take damage from any block, item or entity.
Mobs that can hold items, like zombies, skeletons, etc. can steal the player's held item when damaging them, playing nothingtoseeheremovealong:ooof.

- Plays a sound saying "Mojang Studios", similar to 20w14∞ and 3D Shareware v1.34.

Trivia

This is the only version in which the player is able to truly hold blocks, rather than items corresponding to blocks. Endermen are the only mob to have this ability in normal versions.
When a spawner is picked up and placed back down, it will lose its block data and become a pig spawner.
With the help of a tamed horse, the player can shift - right click it and they will see their inventory. The player can put items in the slots with the help of offhand.
Despite the snapshot's name, the player can still move items to the offhand, and, therefore, carry two blocks at a time.
- Placing offhand items in creative mode does not consume the item, as usual, even though a main hand item is consumed in creative mode.
The player's usual Inventory data is still accessible using commands like /data, /item, and /clear, but, apart from the armor slots and offhand, this data doesn't do anything.
- Using the /give command will always place items into the players hands. If the command is used while the player is already holding something, the new item will be thrown onto the ground (and place itself if it is a block).
- The /clear command will claim that No items were found on player <player> even if the player is holding something, if they had empty Inventory data.
- The /data command reveals that the hand slot is using the NBT tag carriedBlockState, which is the same tag as for items held by Endermen and which will always be a generic_item_block if the target player is holding something that is not a normal block.
- In creative mode, loading saved hotbars still modifies this data.
Picking up mobs modifies the player's Passengers data, which is usually always empty.
Certain blocks, like fire, end or nether portal blocks, and end gateways, do not display properly when held or thrown — these are invisible in first person, and in some cases also in third person or also when thrown.
Blocks that do not normally have an item form can now be placed directly, like portal blocks.
Using /setblock to place a generic_item_block with an ID that represents a block will cause it to display the block as if misaligned on the vertical axis, rotated so that the top points south, and with its faces culled to match what would be culled if it were a normal block, e.g. /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:generic_item_block[id=15] for a "grass" block.
Some blocks and items that need tinting, such as grass blocks and spawn egges, may displays white as if they are not tinted.
When falling blocks touch ground, if has air below it but blocked, they may keep the form of "falling block" entities.
When holding a ghast, the player is displayed in the body of ghast.
When holding a map, four hands are displayed in the screen, and three hands displayed when holding with offhand.
