I’m not interested in “pranks” where someone is victimised, harmed, or upset.

Tell me the funniest harmless pranks where everyone involved can laugh and nobody feels bad.

    Some years ago I used to play Minecraft with friends quite a bit. We used to pull out practical pranks on each other, like:

    • people often use a pressure plate as doormat for their houses, to open the door automatically. I’d wire it to some piston, releasing chickens inside the house. How many chickens? 200 or so.
    • block update detector + some valuable ore (typically diamond) = an ore block that changed place as you tried to mine it. (I was the victim of that one. It was amazing!)
    • good old obsidian over chest, preventing you from opening it. Some people got upset. Eventually ruled out as uncreative.
    • hollowing out a pillar to place a zombie, that would prevent the person from sleeping inside their base because there was a monster nearby. Good luck finding it.
    • the smaller and less annoying version of the above: cats hidden into 1x1x1 holes below the floor. “meow mrwown meeeew!” nonstop.

      Oh yeah I remember my friend hid a whole noise machine with doors and nether portals and everything somewhere under my base and out took so much time to find it.

      In early game a friend asked to borrow a diamond pick because he hadn’t found enough to make one of his own. I left mine in his base, but I also blocked up his doors and windows with obsidian.
