First of all, people really need to calm down and stop harassing the developer for a joke that went somewhat wrong. It's not a reason to be hateful, rude or otherwise nasty. If you're losing your mind over this you really to go for a walk outside.

That said, I agree that mods shouldn't push updates for something like April fools. It's unnecessary and, as we've seen, it can have rather annoying unforeseen consequences. It's not fun to suddenly not be able to play the game. At the very least, perhaps one could expect to limit any April fools tomfoolery to parts of the mod that don't require changing anything about the mod itself (i.e. the mod page).

That's just my 2cents, lmk what y'all think
