The Java version of Minecraft is also the only iteration of the game in which the language can be changed to one of twelve constructed languages. There are also references to Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek: The Next Generation, WarGames, Terraria, and Zero Wing in these crash log messages. For instance, the messages “I'm sorry, Dave.” and “Daisy, daisy…” are lines uttered by Hal 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Similarly, when a crash report is generated following the game encountering a fatal error, the resulting log includes clever messages, many of which include references to movies and other video games. This change, although creating a retro-feel, also resulted in a huge reduction in clarity. For April Fools’ Day 2018, Mojang replaced the in-game textures with new textures that used 8-bit color. Additionally, when looking at a sign while wearing the Reality Vision glasses, players would see the word “Obey” - a reference to John Carpenter’s 1988 science-fiction film They Live. The 2016 April Fools’ update, called the “Trendy Update” added some tech-based features like Smarter Watches, a USB Charger Block, and Reality Vision glasses. In 2015, Mojang released “The Love and Hugs Update” with additions like a Love meter that unlocks a Minesweeper-like minigame once full, as well as Potions of Caring and the removal of health and hunger. The update also included new villager sounds from a resource pack created by “Element Animation”, a YouTube channel that releases villager-centered Minecraft animations. 2014 saw the first April Fools’ update available to all Java players in which every Minecraft player’s skin was replaced with one of several villager skins.
