Cheese

This article documents an April Fools' Day joke.

This feature was exclusively part of a joke version and is not currently planned for addition to regular Minecraft.

Cheese is a joke block and a food that can be eaten by the player. It generates on The Moon as the main ground block, referencing a common joke about the moon being made of cheese. It is only present in the 23w13a_or_b snapshot.

Obtaining

Breaking

Cheese drops itself if it has not been bitten. Once the cheese is bitten, it cannot be recollected, even with the use of Silk Touch.

Mob loot

Upon death, moon cows drop 0-2 cheese. The maximum amount is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 5 cheese blocks with Looting III.

Milk bucket

If the minecraft:instacheese vote is active, using a milk bucket on the ground places cheese, similarly to powder snow. It cannot be picked up into the bucket again.

Usage

Similarly to cakes, cheese can be eaten when placed in the world. However, unlike cakes, the cheese block is divided into 8 smaller cubes. Clicking on one of them eats only the selected part, unlike cakes, where slices cannot be chosen.

Eating cheese restores both hunger and oxygen, allowing the player to survive on the Moon.

Sounds

Generic

This section uses a sound table which may not accurately represent the sounds associated with this feature.

Because of MC-177082, subtitles for falling on blocks may not have existed at this point in development, so a dedicated sound table accounting for this may be required.

Block states

Name	Default value	Allowed values	Description
slices	`255`	`1—255`	Interpreted as an array of binary numbers that define whether or not each 1/8th corner (slice) of cheese is present. The binary digits for this value are, in order of most significant to least significant, bottom north-west, bottom north-east, bottom south-west, bottom south-east, top north-west, top north-east, top south-west, and top south-east. For example, 255 is all slices present, 204 is all northern slices eaten and all southern slices present.

Issues

Issues relating to "Cheese" are not maintained on the bug tracker because it is an April Fools' joke, and is therefore not in the newest stable version or snapshot. Issues reported there are closed as "Invalid".

Trivia

Cheese uses a darker and desaturated version of the end stone texture.
