By default they are automatically enabled <strong>only on the 1st of April<\/strong>. But feel free to enable them on all days via the config. There is a global toggle, and you can enable\/disable all the individual features as well. The mod will hopefully add a few smiles on the faces of anyone who plays your modpack and\/or server!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Features<\/strong><\/span>:<br \/>&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp; Players will sleep with their feet on the pillow.<br \/>&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp; The wandering trader will spawn with donkeys instead of llamas.<br \/>&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp; Make cats bark and wolves meow.<br \/>&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp; Cows have a chance to give a water or lava bucket when milked.<br \/>&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp; Creepers might, instead of explode, launch a firework rocket with a creeper pattern.<br \/>&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp; Make all potato drops from the potato plant poisonous.<br \/>&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp; Skeletons can spawn with a sword and shield instead of a bow.<br \/>&nbsp;&bull;&nbsp; Any normal arrow fired from a bow has a chance to have a random potion effect.
