There is no proper release version or development version of Java Edition called the Poisonous Potato Update, Java Edition 24w14potato, or Snapshot 24w14potato.
The snapshot was reuploaded about 2 hours after the release to remove the Potato font; however, the font is still used in the Minecraft Launcher's April Fools version.
When a living entity stands on the block, and the block is on, the block produces spark particles and the entity is constantly damaged, losing 1HP for every 2 times damaged.
A player that dies to this block receives the following death message: <player> was killed by a bad-tempered potato
Can extract potato oil from potatoes or poisonous potato oil from poisonous potatoes.
Can be used to apply potato oil to items and lubricate, making them slide when thrown. More potato oil increases the sliding factor, with diminishing returns.
Due to floating-point imprecision, if an item is lubricated 55 times, its sliding factor reaches 1. If that item is then thrown, it never stops sliding in the direction it was thrown until it hits an obstacle, which makes it only slide along one axis.
When powered by a redstone signal, it flies smoothly in the direction of the sticky side after 1 tick.
A floatater structure is composed of all connected blocks in a 32×32×32 area and is stopped if any of these blocks are making contact with a block outside of it.
The size limit of the area it checks can be controlled by the game rule floataterSizeLimit.
A block is considered connected if its outline box is touching that of a block being pushed by the floatater, not the floatater itself unless it's on the sticky side.
Tile entities placed as a part of the floatater structure breaks off when the floatater begins moving, even if not pushed by anything.
Blocks connected to them are still moved.
When multiple floataters facing the same direction are powered at the same time, the speed of the connected structure increases depending on how many floataters there are.
Floataters can move blocks normally broken by piston pushing or those that cannot be moved, i.e. melons and redstone dust (not inclusive of tile entities such as shulker boxes and comparators, which break off when pushed).
When a floatater contraption is moving, it can be stood on and push other entities. However, when moving into other moving floataters they go through each other.
It flies until one of the blocks at the front of the floatater structure hits another irreplaceable block.
When a strong root breaks and replaces a block, the block drops at the powerful potato block to which the strong root is connected.
The block breaks as if it was mined by a Silk Touch or a Fortune I pickaxe, for example, if a diamond ore breaks, either a diamond item or a diamond ore item drops at the powerful potato block.
The only block which has a French name. It translates to "dirt of apple". It's a joke on "pomme de terre", "potato" in French translating roughly to "apple of dirt".
Can be obtained by peeling a peelgrass block with a potato peeler.
Is essentially the poisonous potato version of dirt.
Even the compressed blocks can be compressed further, becoming double/triple/quadruple compressed poisonous potato blocks.
The name of the block with its icon in an inventory.Quadruple Compressed Poisonous Potato Block, with 39 letters, is the longest block name in the game, even more than the waxed weathered cut copper stairs.
It randomly spawns poisonous potato items, poisonous potato zombies, endermen, batatos and ghasts. This happens regardless of light level, or presence of solid blocks above it.
When the player hovers their cursor over the item, or holds the item, its texture changes to a poisonous potato wearing Groucho glasses.
Can be equipped to the player's helmet slot.
The potato plant then appears in the top left corner of the screen and provides dialogue that guides the player throughout the main parts of the snapshot.
Cannot be eaten or planted.
After clicking the item 4 or more times, the following description appears in the tooltip: On a closer inspection this Poisonous Potato is a plant.
If a player hasn't completed the Non Plus Ultra advancement and tries to use it, an explosion is created at the player's position and the following chat message is sent: "<player> was unworthy of Potatiesh, Greatstaff of the Peasant
If a player is in Creative mode, they can use the item to place a potato portal block, even if they haven't completed the required advancement yet.
Its resource location is minecraft:potato_staff.
This is a reference to the legendary staff in World of Warcraft called "Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian".
Can be obtained by throwing a poisonous potato into lava or by combining a baked potato and a lava bucket in a crafting table.
Deals a gradually increasing amount of fire damage every game tick a player stores the item in their inventory. The damage amount starts at 0HP and increases to 1HP after 20 game ticks, then increases by 1HP every 40 game ticks after that, up to a maximum of 5HP as the player continues to hold the hot potato.
The amount of time each player has held a particular Hot potato is stored along with that item's NBT data. This timer can be reset by moving the hot potato from one slot of the player's inventory to another.
Mobs do not take damage from holding the hot potato.
If a player dies by holding this item, they receive a new death message: <player> held the hot potato for too long.
This death message ends in a period, unlike every other death message.
Can be crafted in a crafting table, with 2 poisonous potatoes and 2 potato peels.
After falling into the void in the Potato and returning to the Overworld, the player has them equipped automatically on the boots slot.
Can be equipped like armor, on the boots slot.
When worn, every time the player would take fall damage, some poisonous mashed potatoes are placed around the impact preventing the damage and the boots instantly break.
That also seems to be the case in the creative mode but the boots don't break.
Unlike other types of armor, it can be stacked up to 64.
Apart from the separate item, this item also appears as a new potion variant in the Creative inventory, including a splash potion, lingering potion and tipped arrow variants.
Gives the Poison effect for ten seconds and the It's very slippery effect for 1 tick.
Apart from the separate item, this item also appears as a new potion variant in the Creative inventory, including a splash potion, lingering potion and tipped arrow variants.
Can be used on peelgrass blocks, potato sheep and blocks of potato peels to drop potato peels.
Potato mobs when being killed with the potato peeler can drop potato peels.
Can be used on a player wearing a poisonous potato chestplate, breaking the chestplate and causing that player to shoot 8 potato peels in random directions.
Obtained by mining resin ore, smelting poisonous potato oil, processing a toxic resin and a feather in a fletching table or as a drop from toxifin slabs.
Has two varying attributes, namely clarity and impurities (Example: clouded clarity, fishy impurities).
When inputted into a fletching table with the matching clarity and impurities attributes (as seen within the fletching table's UI) a new toxic resin is output. The toxic resin's clarity and impurity is dependent on that of the toxic resin used as the input (example: an abysmal clarity resin outputs a blemished clarity resin).

Now has an interface, titled "Fletching <quality> Clarity, <impurities> Impurities into <new quality> Clarity, <new impurities> Impurities"
The top of the interface slowly stretches out to fit the title
A feather can be inserted to the left.
One or more toxic resins that match the quality and impurities of the first half of the title can be inserted and are "processed" into toxic resins of clarity and impurity described by the second half.
The resulting impurity is not visible until after the fletching table successfully processes its first resin, being replaced by "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
Processing a "Jewel Clarity" toxic resin results in an amber gem.
Have a new skin type, featuring yellowish-green clothes, which is used when the villager is spawned in one of the 5 biomes found in the Potato.
This is separate from the special texture their head uses when they are inside the Potato; if a villager is spawned in the Potato and teleported to the Overworld, the clothes remain but not the head texture.
When the Villager Trade Rebalance experiment is enabled, the following trades are changed for villagers with this skin type:
This is the first version of Java Edition since 1.12.2 to not include the "Java Edition" subtitle on the main menu.

Poem transcript
[show]
The nightshades stir. We are not alone in here.
PLAYERNAME?
Ah, yes, I see it now. The player tugging at the starchy strands of reality.
Do you think it knows? Do you think it wants to know?
It cannot. A mere lateral stem, branching off from the main into an endless sea of potatobilities, forever longing for the warmth of the mother tuber.
Solanum tuberosum.
We should not dwell on such things. It is the nature of all perennial dreams. To know without remembering. Seeing how, but never knowing why.
Maybe PLAYERNAME is different?
The [scrambled] forbids it. We count time in potateons, far-reaching stolons stretching out across the [scrambled]. This player is just passing by.
Will it remember us afterwards?
It is possible, but not in the sense that you hope for. The dauphinoise is layered in ways that even we cannot fathom.
We will still be here, long after this potato patch has been folded into the velvety mash of time.
As the starch commands. The player will not.
I wish we could spend more time with PLAYERNAME. Make it remember that [scrambled] will [scrambled] after it leaves us.
The skin must not be peeled. The player would not understand.
Great solanaceae, it must not be peeled..
You remember our old adage. We shall guide it on its journey though.
I like this player, can I say the words?
Yes, but do not linger. The time of harvest is almost upon us. The door is closing.
PLAYERNAME, listen to my voice..
Good.
Boiled, baked, roasted or fried, always trust in the potato. You are one with the tubers now.
