Easter egg in 20w14∞

In the April fools' snapshot, 20w14∞, a single easter egg dimension, "this_is_a_very_long_phrase_that_is_hopefully_not_in_any_dictionary" has a custom message supposedly written by boq.

a message written with grass blocks reading "Hello! Only purpose of this message was to troll completionists and put my name somewhere in Minecraft (again!). I hope it wasn't cracked by accident – it was obviously supposed to take more time than other phrases. Written during time of plague by boq (yes. lowercase. because symmetry) "All these worlds are yours, except Europa*. Use them together. Use them in peace. " *Europa™️* the Moon sold separately."
