Is there any way to bring April Fools content into newer versions of the game?

Hey guys! So, everyone knows that April fools content disappears in the next version, but since the game files for the content still exist somewhere, even if it’s only in April Fools worlds, could I do some file tampering to bring the content up to a higher version?

I know it’s possible to save April Fools worlds and upgrade them to newer versions, because I played a world on 21w14infinite and then I copy-pasted the world data into the folder for a world I created on 1.20.4, deleted the regular level.dat files, and renamed the special_level.dat files to just level.dat, and it worked. It deleted the funky portals and my box of infinite books though, which isn’t a huge deal, but then I upgraded to the 24w14potato snapshot, used NBTexplorer to change the level.dat version type, copy the potato dimension from a world made on the snapshot into my world, and then it let me play the world I already had on the snapshot.

However, I don’t know how much effort I want to put into gathering cool new items if they’re going to get deleted when I upgrade. If I make a copy of the world in my computer files, upgrade to 1.21.4 (or whatever the newest update is now), I’m wondering if there could be anywhere I could access the version data or world data for that specific world and copy-paste all the April fools content into it so it doesn’t get deleted when I load the game. Is this possible at all?

Tnt quarry depth adjust?

I was testing this quarry made by RaysWorks : https://youtu.be/aYuxnL1UkzA?si=3fZjJe7vjchs_jXJ And it went well, only problem is that i dont want it to be this deep. Context: im building a megabase and need to destroy hill/mountain, its only that, somewhere in the middle is villager trading hall and i dont want it to reach it. I could make an obsidian roof but then i might aswell do whole removal by hand. Wanted depth would be somewhere about 10-20 blocks. If theres any other type of world eater to do it i would be thankful for the link to it. Thanks

Singularity of calculation of hit by boat on minecart (1.20.6)

I am not good at English, so please understand that I am writing this using Google Translator.

While researching minecart lanes for mob transport, I discovered an unusual phenomenon of boats being hit while riding minecarts.

Under normal circumstances, a boat will be destroyed 2 ticks after hitting the lava.

However, in the case of a boat on a minecart, it will be destroyed 3 ticks after hitting the lava. (The boat is destroyed 1 tick after the minecart is destroyed.)

For some reason, the destruction of the boat on the minecart is delayed by 1 tick?

Minecart breaking in auto harvest crop farm

So I'm trying to make an auto harvest crop farm with villagers and I got one section set up, but my hopper minecarts keep breaking trying to make the second section and I don't know why. I'm not doing anything different. I tried to take a screen recording to show what is happening. And messed up my first farm in the process -.-. But has anyone had this happen where the hopper minecart just disappears? It doesn't show up in my inventory, not in any of the hoppers, they are just gone. Thankfully I have an iron farm so losing the iron isn't a big deal, but I'd like to automate the crop harvest.

I am playing on a multiplayer server if that makes a difference. 1.23.3 with iris installed for the shaders, no other mods at this time.

Please help :c

How to deal with large caves under base?

I've been imagining a mountain base, but all the good locations have absolutely massive caves underneath. Is there anything I can do to reduce the mob spawns? The caves go to bedrock so it would take a very long time to manually like things up. Is there anything technical I can do?

My villagers are taking ages to take jobs 1.21.3

My villagers will take ages to take jobs, specifically the librarian. Fishermen take jobs instantly however the librarian ones take ages. It makes it near impossible to get the enchantments I want. I have tried blocking them into secluded places and only making it so there is one work station that has the ability to be occupied. Please help.

Help with main storage

I have already built 32 bulk slices (64 item filters total)

My next stage is building the Multi-Item sorter.

I will also have a compactor array so I only have to store compacted items in the bulk storage. (e.g. Not storing iron ingots, only iron blocks). Before anyone questions this - personally the convenience of building less bulk slices outweighs the inconvenience of accessing raw materials (and building a compactor array)

My question is, what's a good amount of MIS (MIS V5.1) slices to build, to store the rest of the items in the game(1.21).

I don't want to build too little or too many MIS slices.

Why this hopper didnt pick the item?

I was rebuilding my machine and my water elevator took the hoppers I destroyed. The hopper is empty and redstone signal is connected to dropper below. Is this because the redstone?

Pacify multiple pillagers at once

Hi,

I've been pacifying pillagers for a while, but the boat method i've found only works for one pillager at a time, and it's pretty tedious. I've been wanting to make a village for pacified pillagers, but the process would take so long, i've been delaying the project.

I tried to get a pillager in a boat, and tank up to three of them, with regen and resistance beacons, but only ended up breaking my armour when i went afk.

Once I runned into a youtube short of a minecraft guy, talking about a "Friend farm" to make exactly this. But it's long lost and I couldnt find it since. I briefly saw a weird looking construction, that used an iron golem and water, but other than that i really dont know how to recreate it.

Does anyone know the "friend farm" that I described? Alternatively, does anyone have a solution?

The help is much appreciate it, and sorry for my writing (I haven't written in this language in a while)

Gold Farm/ Mob Switch Issue

https://preview.redd.it/ar0d963ztf2e1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=947298a2b3bcae3989550d88117362a01366ff10

Hi Everyone,

My issue is ever since i built a nether mob switch, my gold farm wont work. I am more than 200 blocks away from the mob switch and i havent even gotten around to building a chunk loader.

To be clear my gold farm worked perfectly up to the mob switch being built.

I have no idea why my gold farm is now broken except for maybe i have a portal in the chunk next to the chunk with the mob switch???? but nothing is going through it except me. Any help appreciated
