This article documents an April Fools' joke.
This feature was exclusively part of a joke version and is not currently planned for addition to regular Minecraft.
It is documented here on the wiki due to being officially-released content by Mojang Studios, even if not present in a final version.
Keys were a joke item from Java Edition 3D Shareware v1.34.
There are three different keys: red, yellow, and blue.
Obtaining[]
Mobs[]
The red key was dropped by the wither, the yellow key was dropped by ravagers, and the blue key was dropped by the elder guardian.
Cheat codes[]
These keys were also obtainable by using the cheat code "IDKFA" when typing in chat.
