About this Mod
Joke of the Day is a simple but fun(ny) datapack that tells you a random joke every Minecraft day!
Whenever the day counter resets (day time 0), a random joke is sent in chat. Some are terrible, some are cheesy, and some are completely random, but hopefully at least a few of them will make you smile. :)
Most of the jokes were suggested by the community, so if you have a joke you'd like to see in the pack, feel free to suggest it here on Planet Minecraft! (If your joke is added it may take some time for the pack to be updated since there will need to be at least a few new jokes in each update)
Plus, this pack is fully multiplayer-compatible so feel free to install it on your server!
I hope you enjoy the pack and that it makes your Minecraft world just a little bit funnier!
