If you couldn’t wait for April Fools in 2024 just to see what the gaming industry will produce as a prank on the gaming population, we’ve got our first contender: Minecraft. The game has added a mini-game on their website, which involves poisonous potatoes. Let’s see what this is all about.
Poisonous Potatoes Mini-Game Surfaces on Minecraft.net
When you open Minecraft.net, you will see a health bar at the top of the page. As you scroll down, you will see a lot of poisonous potatoes with varying sizes on the page (mostly on the sides). When you click them, your health bar will turn green, and you will lose some of your hearts progressively.
When your hearts bar empties itself, you will be met with a death screen and your score. Is there any point in this game at all?
How to Play Poisonous Potatoes on Minecraft’s Website
I’ve tinkered about with this mini-game and figured out that my score got bigger if I managed to waste away my hearts faster. My record was 9050, and I couldn’t go further than that. When you lose, you will see a message: “You awoke the Toxifin,” which is indeed cryptic.
What is Toxifin in Minecraft?
Toxifin is, based on what I can see, a toxic pufferfish (name obviously made as a merge of the words “Toxic” and “Fin”). It’s currently not in Minecraft. I reckon that one out of the three following scenarios is plausible:
- Toxifin was made just as a prank, and it is not in the game, and it will never be.
- Toxifin will temporarily exist in Minecraft for April Fools’ Day (we still haven’t established that it’s real).
- Toxifin might be added to the game at a later date, perhaps through a mob vote.
