Ever since its official release back in 2011, Minecraft has proved to be a revolution in the gaming industry.

After years where the prevailing theory among behind many of the most commercially successful games was that graphics had to be a top priority, Minecraft stripped things back with an emphasis on gameplay and player creativity.

One of the things that have allowed the game to retain its popularity through the years is that while updates are consistently made, they never threaten to change the core mechanics of the game that have made it such a huge success.

Another consistent tradition seen in the game is developer Mojang's predilection for having a little fun with the player on April 1.

With all the craziness going on in the world right now, Mojang had to go the extra mile to pull something off for 2020's April Fools and they didn't disappoint.

On this day, when the player travelled through a Nether Portal they were not greeted with the usual fire and lava, but instead had the ability to travel to a seemingly infinite number of other dimensions.
