each have their own "Minecraft Store". Be that as it may, they are actual in-game stores used to get downloadable content, and are completely unrelated to the Apr. fool`s joke.
Natural generation
Every chunk generated between Apr. 1 and Apr. 5, 2011 had a small chance of having a locked chest in it.
Usage
Clicking use button on the chest would bring up a screen, and clicking on the "Go to Store" button would forward you to the "Minecraft Store". It linked to "https://minecraft.net/store/loot.jsp", but now the original page was removed and an error is shown. Various items were "sold" in the Minecraft Store (see below). Clicking on the proceed to checkout button triggered a screamer in which a Velociraptor from the movie Jurassic Park growled loudly and flew across the screen.
Entering items totaling over $10,000 into the cart caused a window pop-up asking if you are prone to seizures. Entering OK made the screen start flashing. When first released, there was no seizure warning label; Notch later implemented it to avoid lawsuits and posts on the forum.
On Apr. 2 (the day following Apr. Fools), the store had the addition of a multicolored banner which read "♥ Apr. Fools`! ♥", accompanied by a midi instrumental of Rick Astley`s `Never Gonna Give You Up`.
