23w13a_or_b is an April Fools' joke snapshot, supposedly the first and only snapshot for the "Vote Update", released on April 1, 2023,[1] which adds a system where players vote for gameplay features or mechanics to be implemented. This snapshot is a fork of 23w13a.

The snapshot was reuploaded about three hours after the release,[2] to fix some crashes related to transformations and to remove inappropriate color names.

Minecart
  • Minecart with Wheels Voting for the minecarts with wheels will give minecarts 3d wheels.

Trivia

  • Bartosz Bok showed a video of a minecart with 3d wheels 3 years ago.[5]
  • The Wob item either appears to be a reference to a common crafting misconception. A post about this was made on Twitter that tagged the YouTuber PhoenixSC, who made a concept for this and seems to be the inspiration for the feature.[3][6]
  • The "Trails & Tails" rule could also be a reference to a PhoenixSC video based off a misspelling of the update's title in an official article. The typo since has been fixed.[7][8]
  • "Life's a Dream" possbly could be a reference to the YouTuber Dream, as he involved himself in a cheating scandal for modifying luck odds on ender pearls.
  • The "No Round Shapes Allowed" cape may be a reference to the YouTuber Mysticat, who is known for creating a circle using only command blocks in Minecraft. This is mainly supported due to the background of the cape matching the YouTuber's skin.
  • The "181 Choices" splash doesn't exist in the splashes.txt file, but is generated by the game on startup instead.
  • Rule uncontrolable_lave and fire_sponge contain a misspelling of lava, based off a bug that appeared in 22w44a.[9]
  • Rule codepoint_replace can be "Replace 'k' with 'K'", which causes the miscapitalization of "block" into "blocK", based off a bug that appeared in 20w45a.[10]
  • This is the first Minecraft Version that allowes the player to get any item/block with any nbt tags without cheats by getting a repeating comand block minecart executing "/fill <...>" or "/summon <whatever item you want>" (see above).
  • It is also possible to "nuke" a server with such a minecart similar to Bedrock Edition.
  • The various colors and their names in the snapshot that can be used to change the color of objects come from this document. Some of the colors have inappropriate names that were present in the original snapshot version.
    • The reuploaded version fixed the inappropriate color names.
