Item



Items are objects that only exist within the player's inventory and hands - this meaning, they cannot be directly placed in the game world.

Behavior
Some items, when, place a block or entity version of themselves into the game world. Put simply, they are an item when in the inventory, and a block when placed. For example, boats turn into an entity when placed, and beds turn into a group of blocks when placed. When selected in the hotbar, items briefly display their names above the HUD.

The only method by which items can be properly displayed within the game environment is with the use of item frames.

Items use item IDs, whereas blocks use block IDs.

Raw materials
Raw materials are used for crafting, brewing, and smelting other items and blocks.

Manufactured
Some items are manufactured through most of the raw materials listed above.

Potions
Potions inflict status effects on players and mobs.

Food
Food items are used to feed the player in order to get hunger points and saturation. Some food items may inflict status effects on the player, be they positive or negative. Food items can also be used to restore the health of tameable mobs (including horses and wolves), and to make passive mobs (including pigs and cows) breed.
