Item



Items are objects that exist only within the player's inventory and hands; that is, 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.

Education Edition only
These items can be accessed only in Education Edition. The portfolio and camera are obtainable through Creative mode and the command.

Unimplemented items
Some items are unimplemented, or have been mentioned to be implemented in the future.

Removed items
Removed items no longer exist in current versions of the game.
