This article is about the folder in Java Edition. For the folder in Bedrock Edition, see com.mojang.
This feature is exclusive to Java Edition.
.minecraft (or simply minecraft in macOS) is the folder Minecraft creates to run from. This folder includes the .jar files, sound, music, resource packs, personal options, worlds, etc.
Locating .minecraft
Below is a table showing the default directory for .minecraft.
| OS | Location |
|---|---|
| Windows | %APPDATA%\.minecraft
|
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft
|
| Linux | ~/.minecraft
|
Locating the .minecraft folder can be vital for installing a resource pack or to locate any made screenshots.
The Windows location in the table above is just the default case. Launchers can set the .minecraft at any path.
If you're a Windows user and are unfamiliar with how to find your appdata folder, follow these steps:
- Click Start → Run. If you don't see "Run", press ⊞ Windows + R.
- Type
%APPDATA%\.minecraftand click "OK".
If you're a Mac user, you can open the folder through Spotlight:
- Press ⌘ Command + Space or open the Spotlight popup through the magnifying glass icon on the right of the Menu Bar.
- Type
~/Library/Application Support/minecraftand hit ↵ Enter.
On Linux or macOS, the ~ in the path refers to the home directory. Folders starting with a . are hidden by default. In most file managers, hitting Ctrl + H toggles their hidden status. In macOS specifically, since version 10.12 (Sierra), the shortcut ⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift + . toggles the hidden status of files.
If you want to change directory of the .minecraft folder, see Tutorials/Custom Minecraft directory.
.minecraft file hierarchy
| List |
|---|
|
Use of a resource pack can be forced by naming its zip file to resources.zip and placing it in the root folder of the world save.[1] This feature is single-player only;[2] however, there is another way for servers to ask clients if they want to use the server resource pack.
For windows OS and linux, the contents of nativelog.txt and nativeUpdaterLog.txt can be found within launcher_log.txt when applicable (i.e. the contents ofnativeUpdaterLog.txt will only be present in latest_log.txt after the launcher is updated / launched for the first time).

A '''minecart with furnace''' is a [[furnace]] inside a [[minecart]]. It can be powered with [[coal]] or [[charcoal]] to propel it across a [[rail]] line for a limited time, which can be used to move other minecarts.
==Obtaining==
Minecarts with furnace can be retrieved by attacking them, and by doing so it drops as an [[item]].
===Crafting===
{{Crafting
|Output= Minecart with Furnace
|type= Transportation
|Furnace|Minecart}}
==Usage==
Minecarts with furnaces are placed in the same way as other minecarts. It does not have a graphical user interface, unlike a [[furnace]].
Minecarts with furnaces can be powered, done by feeding fuel ([[coal]] or [[charcoal]]) into the furnace minecart with the {{Control|use}} button. The fuel is consumed immediately and it starts to move in the same direction the player clicked toward. Pressing {{Control|use}} always turns it to that direction, even when not holding coal.
Any piece of fuel, added at any time, increases the total range by an additional 3600 ticks (equal to 180 seconds or 3 minutes). The upper limit is 32767 ticks, approximately 27 minutes.
When powered, minecarts with furnaces cover 240m per minute (about 4 m/s, slightly slower than walking speed) or 720m per piece of coal. They do not accelerate beyond this speed when going downhill or on active [[powered rail]]s, and as long as they remain powered, they do not slow down when going uphill, on inactive powered rails, or when pushing or pulling other minecarts.
If a powered furnace minecart is derailed and then pushed back onto a rail, it starts moving again in the direction it came from, so they are not easily turned around in this state unless a player is nearby to redirect it with {{Control|use}}.
Minecarts with furnaces can climb up steep inclines while pushing other minecarts as long as they have fuel. If a minecart with furnace reaches a slope while pulling another minecart, the pulled minecart is switched to the forward position so that it can be pushed along the slope instead of pulled.
When a minecart with furnace bumps into another minecart or multiple minecarts, the other minecarts are pushed forward with great speed. The furnace minecart continues on with its own speed. Because of this speed difference, some of the minecarts may end up inside unloaded chunks on straight tracks.
===Train mechanics===

[[File:FurnaceMinecartTrain.png|thumb|right|A Minecart train powered by furnace [[Minecart|minecarts.]]|alt=]]
A furnace minecart can be made to pull up to four other minecarts. All minecarts in this train move at the constant speed of the furnace minecart. Trains are formed when a minecart is pushed into the back of a powered furnace minecart or a short-enough train. These shunts are fragile at best and easily come undone, but some methods are stronger than others. For example, pushing a minecart into a furnace minecart and then powering the furnace gives a weaker shunt than pushing the furnace minecart into the other minecart against a wall, and then powering the furnace in the other direction.
A high-speed minecart running into the back of a furnace minecart going in the same direction automatically creates a weak shunt with it, pulling it along.
Pulling a minecart with TNT causes it to explode.
{| class="wikitable"

|-
|90° turn in track||Jettisoned backward
|-
|Turn toward north/south or east/west that is not the direction the train was shunted in||Train derails
|}
When a train comes to a turn, the shunt comes undone with the pulled minecart jettisoned backward. The correct way to make such a turn is having the shunt undone before a turn, and then make the two rejoin on a straight rail later by having the pulled cart catch up with the minecart with furnace.<ref name=mango/>
Since the train runs slower on a fully powered track than a normal minecart (~5 m/s compared to 8m/s), a train pulled by an unpowered furnace minecart is ideal for AFK farms involving breaking or placing blocks like [[nether wart]].<ref name=mango>{{YouTubeLink|1=pRLiAQfhTG8|2=Why The Furnace Minecart Isn't As Useless As You Think|3=ilmango}}</ref>
==Properties==
The coal is not stored as an item in the entity, but in the object data in the fuel property as a time in ticks. ''Fuel'' is a short value, i.e. a maximum of 32767 ticks, which is about 27 minutes. However, {{cmd|/summon furnace_minecart ~ ~ ~ {Fuel:32000} }} alone doesn't make it go since it doesn't have a direction. It can be right-clicked on a track to give it a direction, or it can be summoned with the properties ''PushX'' and ''PushZ'' set, which are responsible for the direction. The <code>Motion</code> property of every entity allows for movement of the minecart, but it does not direct the minecart to move on its own.

**When converting a [[Legacy Console Edition]] world to a [[Bedrock Edition]] world, any present minecarts with furnaces are converted into a normal minecart.
**Despite the above-described poor standing of the minecart, it was most recently briefly featured in an animation in the [[Minecraft Live 2022]], where one was depicted as moving a train of about 20 minecarts at a higher than normal speed.

'''String''' is an item used in [[crafting]] recipes such as [[bow]]s, [[fishing rod]]s and [[lead]]s. When placed as a [[block]], string becomes '''tripwire''', which can be combined with [[Tripwire Hook|tripwire hooks]] to form a tripwire circuit.
== Obtaining==
String can be obtained from [[drop]]s, breaking [[cobweb]]s, [[fishing]], [[bartering]], and as gifts from [[cat]]s. String can be looted from [[jungle temple]]s, [[desert pyramid]] chests, and [[dungeon]]s.
===Breaking ===
Tripwire can be {{control|mine|text=mined}} instantly with any [[tool]], dropping string. Tripwire is also removed and drops string as an [[item]] when:
*[[Water]] flows into its space
* A [[piston]] pushes it or moves a [[block]] into its space
Tripwire is destroyed without dropping string if [[lava]] flows into its space.
A [[cobweb]] drops string when it is broken in these ways (see also {{section link|Cobweb|Usage}}):
*Breaking a cobweb with a [[sword]]
*Pushing a cobweb with a [[piston]]
*[[Water]] breaking a cobweb by flowing over it (flowing [[lava]] destroys cobwebs without leaving string)
===Natural generation===
Five pieces of tripwire generate naturally in every [[jungle temple]].
===Mob loot ===
[[Spider]]s and [[cave spider]]s drop 0–2 string upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 0–5 string with Looting III.
[[Strider]]s drop 2–5 string upon death. The maximum is increased by 1 per level of [[Looting]], for a maximum of 2–8 string with Looting III.{{only|Java|short=1}}
[[Cat]]s drop 0–2 string upon death, unaffected by Looting.<ref>{{bug|MC-200707||Looting does not increase drops for iron golems and cats}}</ref>
===Chest loot===
{{LootChestItem|string}}
===Fishing===
String has a 0.6% ({{frac|3|500}}) chance of being caught when [[fishing]] with an unenchanted fishing rod. The chance decreases to 0.5% ({{frac|1|200}}), 0.4% ({{frac|1|250}}), and 0.3% ({{frac|3|1000}}) if the fishing rod is enchanted with [[Luck of the Sea]] at enchantment levels I, II, and III, respectively.
===Cat gifts===
{{main|Cat#Gifts}}
Tamed [[cat]]s have a 70% chance of giving the [[player]] a gift when they wake up from a [[bed]], and the gift has a 16.13% chance to be a string.
===Bartering ===
[[Piglin]]s may [[barter]] 3-9 string when given a [[gold ingot]].
== Usage==
String can be used as a crafting ingredient and tripwire can be used as a [[redstone circuit]] component. It can also be used to keep [[player]]s from ender-pearling through that space.
=== Crafting ingredient===
{{crafting usage}}
===Redstone component===
{{redirect|Tripwire|tripwire hooks|Tripwire Hook}}
{{see also|Redstone circuits}}
String can be placed as tripwire, which can be used to detect [[entity|entities]] as part of a tripwire circuit. [[Observer]]s can also be used with a tripwire to generate redstone signals.
;Placement
To place tripwire, {{control|use}} string while pointing at a surface facing the space the tripwire should occupy.
{{Schematic | caption =
'''Tripwire Circuit'''
|SB|th-$w|tw-$ew|th-$e|SB
}}
:In order to activate [[tripwire hook]]s, tripwire must be part of a "tripwire circuit": a straight line of [[block]]s consisting of a block with a tripwire hook attached to it, a "tripwire line" (1 to 40 blocks of tripwire), and a second tripwire hook attached to another block.
;Activation
Tripwire activates if almost any [[entity]] ([[player]]s, [[mob]]s, [[minecart]]s, [[boat]]s, [[item]]s, [[arrow]]s, etc.) intersects its collision mask. The tripwire remains active until there are no entities intersecting its collision mask. Thrown [[potion]]s, some arrows, thrown [[ender pearl]]s, and thrown [[eyes of ender]] do not activate tripwire.
;Behavior
An active tripwire updates adjacent [[block]]s (for example, it can activate a [[Tutorials/Block update detector|BUD circuit]]). Additionally, active tripwires that are part of valid tripwire circuits cause the attached tripwire hooks to activate (producing [[redstone]] power). Active tripwires do ''not'' themselves produce redstone power.
When tripwire is broken (including by being washed away by spreading [[water]] {{in|java}}) after being part of a valid tripwire circuit, it activates the attached tripwire hooks for 5 redstone ticks (10 game [[tick]]s, or 0.5 seconds barring lag). It does not produce the signal if it is broken using [[shear]]s.
===Trading===
Novice-level fisherman [[villager]]s have a 50% chance to buy 20 string as part of their first-tier trade.
Journeyman-level fletcher villagers buy 14 string for 1 [[emerald]] as part of their trade.

=== Mob loot ===
==== Pillagers ====
When killed, a [[pillager]] has a small chance (8.5%) of dropping a loaded or unloaded crossbow with random [[durability]]; the [[drop]] rate increases by 1% per [[level]] of [[Looting]]: 9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III. The [[drop]]ped crossbow can rarely (10% chance) be [[enchanted]] at level 5–19 regardless of being [[enchanted]] when it [[spawn]]ed.
Crossbows dropped by pillagers may have multiple enchantments, including duplicate enchantments on the same weapon.
==== Piglins ====
[[Piglin]]s have a chance of wielding a crossbow upon spawning, and they also have a small chance (8.5%) of dropping a loaded or unloaded crossbow of random durability when killed; this rate increases by 1% per level of [[Looting]]: 9.5% with Looting I, 10.5% with Looting II and 11.5% with Looting III. It can rarely (10% chance) be enchanted at level 5–19 regardless of being enchanted when spawned.

=== Weapon ===
[[File:Crossbowcooldown.gif|thumb|right|Charging and shooting the crossbow {{in|bedrock}}.]]
Crossbows are similar to [[bow]]s, but take longer to load and are slightly more powerful, shooting farther with slightly higher accuracy. Alternatively, they can be loaded with a firework rocket, which flies in a straight line.
Load them by {{control|using}} them, which makes the player move at sneak speed. Unlike bows, the [[arrow]] or [[firework rocket]] can be fired only if the player releases the use button after the crossbow is loaded{{Only|je}} or if the crossbow finishes its loading animation {{Only|be}}. At this point, it ''must be used a second time'' to fire its bolt.
Once it has reached full charge, the [[player]]'s speed returns to normal. After that, shooting a charged crossbow does not delay any of the [[player]]'s current action like [[sprinting]] or [[swimming]].
The crossbow can even be placed in another [[inventory]] slot or into an [[item frame]] without the [[arrow]] or [[firework rocket]] being unloaded or fired. A charged crossbow also remains charged after enchanting it with an enchantment table or with an anvil.
In order to use the crossbow, at least one arrow or firework rocket must be present in the inventory. The player can choose the type of arrow to fire based on its location in their [[inventory]]:
* Arrows in the off-hand, or the selected [[hotbar]] slot if the crossbow is in the off-hand, are prioritized first.
* If there are no arrows in the off-hand or selected hotbar slot, the arrow closest to slot 0 is selected.
Crossbows take 1.25 seconds (25 ticks) to load.
The player can load either an arrow, spectral arrow, tipped arrow (of any effect) or a firework (of any color/type).
[[Endermen]] teleport away from projectile paths, so they cannot be hit with crossbow [[arrow]]s. However, they can still get harmed by [[firework rocket]] explosions, if they can't detect the firework rocket.

=== Fireworks ===
[[Firework rocket]]s can be fired by loading the crossbow only while holding the rockets in the off-hand. They fly at 32 m/s. Firework rockets with higher flight duration have a longer time before they explode and therefore travel farther. Firing a firework rocket uses 3 [[durability]] points per shot.

|}
Firework rockets also work with the [[Multishot]] enchantment, enabling the [[player]] to shoot 3 firework rockets at a time. The increased durability usage stacks, resulting in 9 durability being consumed with each shot.
A shot firework rocket explodes instantly when it hits a [[mob]] or [[block]].{{only|java}} If the firework rocket has no explosion effect, it deals no [[damage]]. The explosion of a firework rocket deals {{hp|5}} to {{hp|6}} points of damage, with one [[firework star]]. The explosion has a radius of roughly 4 blocks, which is unaffected by the firework star's [[Firework Star#Effects|effect]]. Each additional firework star on the rocket deals an additional {{hp|1}} to {{hp|2}} points of damage, for a maximum of {{hp|11}} to {{hp|18}} with 7 firework stars. The flight duration of the firework increases the maximum range the firework can travel before exploding, but does not affect the damage output. Likewise, the damage remains the same regardless of any dyes used. The [[Piercing]] enchantment causes the firework rocket to pierce a number of entities based on its respective level before exploding.{{only|java}} Unlike an arrow shot from a bow, the firework does not slow down under water.
=== Repair ===
Crossbows can be repaired in an [[anvil]] or [[grindstone]] by combining two crossbows. Any loaded ammunition is retained from the crossbow in the first slot but sacrificed from the crossbow in the second slot.
===Enchantments===
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Name
!Description
!Max Level
|-
|[[Quick Charge]]
|Decreases the reloading time of the crossbow by {{code|level * 0.25}} seconds. Crossbows with [[Quick Charge]] III fire slightly faster than [[bow]]s. If [[commands]] are used to enchant a crossbow with Quick Charge V, the crossbow charges instantaneously. A crossbow enchanted with Quick Charge VI is effectively impossible to charge, which renders it useless. This can be done only {{in|je}}.
|III
|-
|[[Multishot]]
| Makes the crossbow fire a spread of 3 projectiles at once instead of a single projectile, which is useful for targeting mobs spread out in a small area. This works for both [[arrow]]s and [[firework rocket]]s. Firing with this enchantment still uses only one projectile, and because of that, it is possible to recover only one of the three arrows shot from a Multishot crossbow. Multishot crossbows use 3 [[item durability|durability]] points per shot, unless using fireworks for ammunition, in which case 9 durability is consumed. Mutually exclusive with Piercing.
|I
|-
|[[Piercing]]
|Makes [[arrow]]s shot from the crossbow pierce [[entity|entities]] they hit and continue their flight, which allows each arrow to hit up to {{code|level + 1}} entities. This is useful for targeting [[mob]]s closely packed together, and for conserving arrows, as they can be picked up after piercing entities. Arrows fired in this manner also ignore [[Shield|shields]]. Mutually exclusive with Multishot.
|IV
|-
|[[Unbreaking]]
|Causes a <code>(Level /(Level+1)) * 100%</code> chance a shot fired does not reduce the [[item durability|durability]] of the crossbow.
|III
|-
|[[Mending]]
|Allows a certain proportion of [[experience]] orbs collected to contribute toward repairing the crossbow, rather than raising the [[player]]'s experience.
|I
|-
|[[Curse of Vanishing]]
| Causes the crossbow to disappear instead of dropping on the ground when the player dies. The {{cmd|gamerule keepInventory}} overrides this.
|I
|}
[[Multishot]] and [[Piercing]] are mutually exclusive. Normal methods of [[enchanting]] allow only one of them to be applied to a crossbow.
Crossbows can receive 3 unique [[enchanting|enchantment]]s, and have a base enchantability of 1. Enchantments specific to crossbows include [[Quick Charge]], Multishot and Piercing.
===Fuel===
Crossbows can be used as [[fuel]] in [[furnace]]s, [[smelting]] 1.5 [[item]]s per crossbow.

==Trivia==
*Alongside [[pillager]]s, crossbows were inspired by ''[[Minecraft Dungeons]]'', even though they were added in the base game first.<ref>{{cite|url=https://discord.com/channels/579770991056519194/818903542139453480/819631528593588244| title = March 2021 developper Q&A|website=discord.com|date=March 11, 2021}}</ref>
*Crossbows [[enchanting|enchanted]] with [[Quick Charge]] VI and above get stuck on the first frame on the recharging animation because the resulting charge time is negative, and the game never reaches the time markers that tell it to advance the animation or the reloading procedure itself. It is technically possible to charge such crossbows, but this would require overflowing the value that determines how long the crossbow has been charged. This takes such an amount of time that this is practically impossible: for example, charging a crossbow with Quick Charge VI would take 69.4 years to complete.
*Although Piercing allows arrows to bypass [[shield]]s, they can't get through the wither armor.
*The crossbow's first-person loading animation in [[Bedrock Edition]] is different from [[Java Edition]].
*Even if a crossbow is already wound with a projectile, when it drops on the ground, it always looks uncharged.<ref>{{bug|MC-137552}}</ref>
*In real life, crossbows don't shoot the same arrows as bows, rather they shoot shorter, thicker, and oftentimes fletchless arrows (usually called "bolts") made to withstand the crossbow's increased power, which can shatter conventional arrows.

The '''Smarter Watch''' was a joke offhand [[item]].
== Usage ==
Smarter watches were "equipped" by having them placed into the offhand slot. Upon equipping, they would display the current time above the hotbar, in minutes and seconds, with one minute of in-game time being 5/6 of a real-time second, and one in-game hour being 5/6 of a real-time minute or 50 seconds.
The smarter watch would also notify the [[player]] of statistics milestones, alongside taken [[damage]], [[item]] specific info, [[crafting]] items and more.{{info needed|What exactly?}}

A '''sign''' is a non-solid [[block]] that displays text and can be placed on the top or side of other blocks. A '''hanging sign''' is a decorative block that also displays text, and can be placed underneath blocks or with a solid self-supporting bracket. The text of both types of signs can be customized with [[dye]]s and [[glow ink sac]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Signs can be broken with any tool or without a tool, but an [[axe]] is fastest.
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Sign|sprite=oak-sign|Axe|foot=1|item=1}}
A sign or a hanging sign also breaks and drops itself as an [[item]] if the block the sign is attached to is moved, removed or destroyed. However, a wall hanging sign will stay here if the block the hanging sign is attached to is removed.<ref>{{bug|MC-256501|||WAI}}</ref>
If a sign is broken while being edited, the player continues to edit the sign<ref>{{bug|MC-117815}}</ref>, although {{in|bedrock}} breaking the sign stops the editing operation.
=== Natural generation ===
An oak sign can be found in [[igloo]] basements. Spruce signs can be found in taiga [[village]] houses, as part of a chair.
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|oak-sign,oak-hanging-sign,spruce-sign,spruce-hanging-sign}}
=== Crafting ===
[[The player]] can place six stripped [[log]] [[block]]s at the bottom half of the crafting table and place two [[chain]]s on the top-left and top-right slots to create hanging signs. This crafting recipe will create six hanging signs. Hanging signs can only be crafted with stripped logs or [[stem]]s; non-stripped wood cannot be used to craft hanging signs.

== Usage ==
Signs can be used to display text; they can be used to label storage, display information to other players or note areas of interest. Signs are also not destroyed by [[water]] or [[lava]] and therefore may be used to control the flow of these fluids.
=== Placement ===
==== Signs ====
Signs may be placed on the top or side of other [[block]]s (including semi-solid and non-solid blocks such as [[fence]]s, [[Trapdoor|trapdoors]] and other signs). To place a sign, {{control|use}} a sign [[item]] while pointing at the block the sign should be attached to, enter the desired text (or none), and click the "Done" button or press "escape" on a keyboard (or press × {{in|bedrock}}, {{xbtn|b}} on an Xbox controller, {{psbtn|o}} on a PlayStation controller, or {{nsbutton|B}} on a Nintendo Switch controller. Closing the virtual keyboard on a mobile device also exits the typing menu). To place a sign on a block that can be interacted with by the {{control|use}} control (for example, [[chest]]s, [[note block]]s, etc.), {{control|sneak}} while placing the sign.
Signs on the top of a block stand on a short post and face toward the player who placed it, in any of 16 different directions. Signs placed on the side of a block simply float there, even if the block doesn't make contact with the sign.
Even if placed on a vertical surface, a sign may not co-exist in the same block of air as any other item, despite not necessarily visibly obstructing eachother.
For more information about the blocks signs can be placed on, see [[Opacity/Placement]].
==== Hanging signs ====
Hanging signs can be placed in three different ways:
* Placing a hanging sign on the side of a block will result in it being placed with a self-supporting bracket, which allows it to float without any supporting block. This version can be placed in four different directions.
* Placing a hanging sign on the bottom of a block will result in the sign hanging below the block.
** If the block is wide enough, the chains holding the sign will be parallel. This version can be placed in four different directions.
** If the block is too narrow, the chains will meet together in a upwards arrow shape. This version is also placed if the player is {{control|sneaking}} when placing a hanging sign below a wide-enough block. This version can be placed in sixteen different directions.
=== Text ===
[[File:Oak Sign GUI.png|thumb|240px|Oak Sign editing.]]
Placing a sign opens an editor interface resembling a magnified view of the sign. Up to four lines of text can then be entered using a keyboard (hardware or on-screen). The editor supports limited editing, including moving the cursor and inserting and deleting characters. {{IN|bedrock}}, [[formatting codes]] can also be used to apply decorative effects such as color, bold, italic and underline to various bits of the text. Depending on the edition and platform in use, copy and paste operations may be supported and the editor may also support keyboard entry of Alt-codes for displaying Unicode characters.
Text can be added to the back side of a sign by interacting with the that side of the sign after placing it and editing the front.
Signs can be waxed by {{Control|use|text=using}} a [[honeycomb]] on it. Once waxed, a sign cannot be unwaxed or edited.
After placing and affixing text on a sign, a player can change the text color by {{control|using}} a [[dye]] on it. When colored with dye, the text color may differ from any color specified by formatting codes.{{Info needed|How does this work? Does the dye affect all the text? One line? One word? Does dye override all formatting codes, including font effects?}}
[[File:Glow Ink Sign with Orange Dye JE2.png|thumb|216px|Oak sign with glow ink and orange dye applied in {{JE}}.]]
A player can {{control|use}} a [[glow ink sac]] on a sign to make its text glow. The glowing text is not affected by lighting. The player can use a regular black [[ink sac]] on the sign to remove the glowing effect.

In [[Creative]] mode, the combination {{key|Ctrl}} + {{control|pick block}} on Windows/Linux, or {{key|cmd}} + {{control|pick block}} on macOS, can be used to copy an already-placed sign, including its text (with decorations), into the player's inventory.
A dyed sign facing east or west will have its text appear more saturated and bright than a sign facing north or south. However, it is actually the sign that is dimmer, because ''Minecraft'''s lighting engine uses side lighting to make the world appear less flat, but the text on signs is not affected by this.
{{IN|bedrock}}, inappropriate words or phrases in a sign's text are displayed as asterisks.
{{IN|java}}, signs can be created with [[Commands#Raw JSON Text|JSON text]], which allows complex formatting (colors, bold, italic, etc.), hover and click events, localized translation (for ''Minecraft'' technical terms, like "Redstone Repeater", otherwise translations must be provided in language files in resource packs), and the incorporation of scoreboard values into text. Use the {{cmd|data merge block}} command to create or alter JSON signs.
: Example: {{cmd|long=1|data merge block ~ ~1 ~ <nowiki>{front_text:{ color:"green", messages:[ '{"selector":"@p", "bold":false, "italic":false, "underlined":false, "strikethrough":false, "obfuscated":false}' , '{"text":"Second Line"}']}}}}
Signs can post the success count of JSON text hover and click events to [[scoreboard]] objectives. The objectives to be used can be specified by running the {{cmd|execute store}} command or by modifying the sign's NBT data directly with the {{cmd|data merge block}} command.
=== Interaction ===
Signs act as though they have a {{control|use}} action, so the [[player]] is unable to place [[block]]s or use [[item]]s while the cursor is pointed at them without {{control|sneaking}}.
Signs are destroyed and drop as an item when pushed by a [[piston]].{{Only|bedrock}}
Signs are non-solid and have no collision, so [[item]]s and [[mob]]s can move through sign blocks. Other [[block]]s (including other signs) can be placed on any edge of a sign.
[[Water]] and [[lava]] flow around signs. Lava can create [[fire]] in [[air]] blocks next to signs as if the signs were flammable, but the signs do not burn (and cannot be burned by other methods either, except {{in|be}}).
=== Fuel ===
Wooden signs can be used as a fuel in [[furnace]]s, smelting an [[item]] per sign.
=== Note Blocks ===
Signs can be placed under [[note block]]s to produce a "bass" sounds.

A '''bed''' is a [[Dye|dyeable]] [[block]] that allows a player to sleep and to reset their [[spawn]] point to within a few blocks of the bed in the [[Overworld]]. If the bed is obstructed or removed, the player spawns at the default world spawning location.
== Obtaining ==
=== Natural generation ===
;Igloo
A red bed naturally generates in each [[igloo]].
;Village
Beds of various colors generate in [[village]] houses, depending on the specific structure and [[biome]]:
* [[Desert]] village houses have cyan, green, or lime beds.
* [[Plains]] village houses have white or yellow beds.
* [[Savanna]] village houses have orange, red, or yellow beds.
* [[Snowy taiga]]{{only|bedrock|short=1}} and [[taiga]] village houses have blue or purple beds.
* [[Snowy tundra]] village houses have blue, red, or white beds.
=== Breaking ===
Beds can be mined with any [[tool]], or without a tool.<ref>{{bug|MC-192722||Beds have no assigned tool}}</ref>
{{breaking row|horizontal=1|Bed|sprite=red-bed|any}}
A bed also drops itself as an item when pushed by a [[piston]].

=== Trading ===
Journeyman-level shepherd villagers sell 1 of 16 beds for 3 [[emerald]]s as part of their trades.
== Usage ==
=== Sleeping ===
[[File:Sleep Animation.gif|240px|thumb|Player falling asleep.]]
Beds are used by pressing the {{control|use item}} button while looking at the bed.
A player sleeps by {{control|using|using}} a bed during a [[thunderstorm]], or at [[night]] (between 12542 and 23459 ticks in clear weather, when stars appear in the sky, or between 12010 and 23991 ticks in rainy weather). Players can sleep during a thunderstorm even if they are in a biome where it does not rain (i.e. Desert). Attempting to use a bed at any other time results in the message "You can sleep only at night or during thunderstorms"{{only|java|short=1}} or "You can only sleep at night".{{only|bedrock|short=1}} A player sleeps in a bed for 101 in-game [[tick]]s, or 5.05 seconds before the time skips to the next day. Sleeping in a bed with the {{cmd|gamerule doDaylightCycle}} set to <code>false</code> results in the player being kicked out of the bed after the 101 ticks, but does not change time of the world to day.
Sleeping in a bed is possible only in the [[Overworld]]. Attempting to sleep in a bed in [[the Nether]], [[the End]], and [[custom dimension]]s in which they are disabled causes it to [[explosion|explode]] and set [[fire]] to surrounding blocks; unless {{cmd|gamerule respawnBlocksExplode}}{{only|bedrock}} is set to {{cd|false}}.<ref>{{bug|mcpe-28723}} – "Exploding bed in the Nether" resolved as "Works As Intended". This is referenced {{in|je}} when a player is killed by "Intentional Game Design". </ref> The explosion has power 5, which is stronger than [[TNT]] (4), but not as strong as a charged [[creeper]] or [[End Crystal|end crystal]] (6). The explosion centers on the head part of the bed. [[Villager]]s can sleep normally in any dimension without the bed being blown up.<ref>{{bug|MC-146515|||WAI}}</ref> Upon death from a bed explosion, the [[death messages|message]] "'''(Player) was killed by [Intentional Game Design]'''" appears.
The player must be close to the bed to sleep. If the player is close enough to click on the bed, but not close enough to sleep in it, the message "You may not rest now, the bed is too far away"{{only|java|short=1}}/"Bed is too far away"{{only|bedrock|short=1}} appears. A player must be within 2 blocks of the bed {{in|JE}} or 3 blocks {{in|BE}} to use the bed.
If a "monster" is within 8 blocks of the bed horizontally (in the X- and Z-axis), and 5 blocks vertically (in the Y-axis), the message "You may not rest now, there are monsters nearby" appears and the player is prevented from sleeping until the monsters leave or are killed. Most hostile mobs, as well as some neutral mobs prevent players from sleeping, as shown in the table below.

{{notelist}}
If the player has not entered a bed and didn't die for 3 in-game days, [[phantom]]s can spawn unless {{cmd|gamerule doInsomnia}} is set to {{cd|false}}. {{in|java}}, this can be verified by checking if the "Time Since Last Rest" [[statistic]] is greater than 1.00 h.
A hostile mob can wake a player that is sleeping.
The player also cannot sleep in a bed occupied by another player, resulting in the message, "This bed is occupied".
A player can, however, sleep in a bed being used by a villager. The player may first wake the villager (pressing {{control|use}} on the villager) and then quickly enter the bed before the villager can lie down again. The villager reclaims the bed after the player wakes. The villager is kicked out of its bed when a player attempts to sleep there.
A player also cannot sleep while on fire, while poisoned, or while starving.
If all sleeping requirements are met and the player enters a bed, the player is positioned in the bed. The player falls asleep as the screen fades to black. {{IN|bedrock}}, the sleeping animation slowly lowers the player into bed.
Once all players in a world are asleep, after 5 seconds (100 ticks) the time of day changes to sunrise. (time 0)
During this time, the chat window is focused, and the player can leave the bed by clicking the {{btn|Leave Bed}} button.
[[Waterlogging|Waterlogged]] beds{{only|bedrock}} cannot be slept in unless the player or villager has the {{EffectLink|Water Breathing}} or {{EffectLink|Conduit Power}} status effects. Attempting to use a waterlogged bed otherwise does not display any message.<ref>{{bug|MCPE-35802}}</ref>
Beds displaying an error above the hotbar is a feature exclusive to beds; other blocks that cannot be used do not display such a message.<ref>{{bug|MC-160479}} resolved as "Works As Intended"</ref>
If there are two or more blocks of space above the bed, then the player can wake up on the bed. If there is less than two blocks above the bed and there is room on the side, then the player wakes up on the side of the bed. If there is no space on the side of the bed and there is less than two blocks above the bed, then the player still wakes up on top of the bed, but suffocates if it's a solid block.
Villagers always wake up on top of the bed, meaning they can suffocate if there isn't enough room above the bed.
====Passing the night====
Sleeping changes the [[daylight cycle|time of day]] to sunrise and resets the [[weather]] cycle, changing the weather to clear conditions. {{IN|JE}}, the weather cycle is only reset if it is currently raining or snowing. The player wakes up next to the bed, facing the bed.
Sleeping does not accelerate processes that take place over time such as the growth of [[crops]] or [[smelting]]. If {{cmd|gamerule doDaylightCycle}} is <code>false</code>, the player instead wakes up in the night.
To skip the night in multiplayer, all players in the [[Overworld]] must be in bed at the same time. Pressing the {{btn|Leave Bed}} button is not necessary in this case. The percentage of players that need to sleep to skip the night can be customized with the game rule {{cd|playersSleepingPercentage}}.
Villagers are unable to skip the night by sleeping in beds, unlike players.
If the bed is destroyed while the player is in it, due to for example an explosion or by another player, the player wakes prematurely and the night does not pass.
====Setting the spawn point====
Once a player has entered a bed (or right clicked the bed during daytime), their spawn point is set to the location of that bed. {{IN|java}}, multiple players can set their spawn point on a single bed. {{IN|bedrock}}, the last player to use a specific bed is the only player who can respawn there, and players who had previously slept there respawn at the world spawn.
{{ctrl|Using}} a bed in the daytime likewise sets the spawn point, without actually entering the bed.
When a bed explodes, it does not set the spawn point.
The message "Respawn point set" is displayed in chat when the respawn point is successfully changed.
The check for a bed is made only when the player respawns. This means that the bed can be destroyed and replaced or even reoriented, but as long as there is a bed present in the same location, the player can respawn there. If a player's bed is absent, or if the area around the bed is made unsuitable for respawning (see below), a message is displayed saying ''You have no home bed or respawn anchor, or it was obstructed''{{only|je}}/''Your home bed was missing or obstructed''{{only|be}}, and the player respawns at the [[Spawn#World spawn|world spawn]] point.
When choosing where to respawn the player, the northwesternmost (lowest X- and Z-coordinates) location of the seven blocks adjacent to the head of the bed is chosen first. If this location is obstructed, the next choice is to its south (+Z), rather than the east (+X). Only when all seven locations around the head are obstructed are the three remaining ones adjacent to the foot then to be considered.
For a location to be unobstructed, the block at the level of the bed must be air or non-solid (e.g. torches, but not glass) and there must be a space with a solid block below it and two non-colliding blocks for the player to stand in 0-2 blocks below the bed. It does not matter if the bed itself has blocks above it. Putting a slab one block above a bed can act as a two block tall space, as the bed is half a block tall. The bed never spawns the player on or directly below itself even if all other locations are obstructed. If a bed is obstructed, the player's spawn point is cleared after they respawn. That is, even if the bed is subsequently made usable again, the player continues to respawn at the world spawn until interacting with the bed again.
Specifically, when interacting with it, the location of the ''head'' of the bed is saved as the spawn point, and if a bed is in that space (whether it is the foot or the head) then the respawn works. This can be observed by reorienting the bed with its head in the same location. Interacting with it does not produce a "Respawn point set" message as the game doesn't change the saved spawn point. If a bed is reoriented so that its foot is in this space, it still functions on the next respawn, but it can also be interacted with to update the spawn point to the new head of the bed and cause a "Respawn point set" message. Attempting the reverse, reorienting the bed so that it overlaps the original location of the foot, results in a respawn at world spawn. However, the location of the foot of the bed is also saved. If the bed is moved so that part of it overlaps the original location of the head, it can be observed that the same locations need to be obstructed to stop spawning. It is possible to respawn 2 blocks away from the bed this way.
=== Bouncing===
Falling onto a bed bounces the player with 66% strength – the bouncing-up velocity is 66% of the impact velocity. The player also takes 50% of normal fall damage.
Baby villagers bounce on beds during the day.
If the player is falling while sleeping requirements are met, and presses {{control|use}} on a bed within reach before hitting the ground, the fall damage is delayed until the player wakes.
A player can bounce on a bed while another player or villager is sleeping on it without waking the player or the villager up.
Villagers can be pushed onto beds, as the bed is half a block tall.
=== Curing===
Each bed in the vicinity of a zombie villager has a chance to speed up the [[Zombie_Villager#Curing|process of curing the zombie villager]]. Iron bars (such as in a prison cell) also have this effect.
=== Placement===
Beds require two blocks of floor space. Placement requires at least 2 blocks from the player's facing direction. When placed, the foot of the bed is placed on the block selected and the head of the bed on the block farther away from the player. {{IN|bedrock}}, beds require solid blocks below them when placed. However, the bed remains in place if its supporting blocks are later removed. {{IN|java}}, beds do not require supporting blocks and can be placed anywhere, provided there is enough room.

==Issues==
{{Issue list}}
== Trivia==
* The reason beds explode in the Nether and the End is because Notch found it was the easiest solution to dimension-unique respawning.<ref>{{tweet|Notch|1259681657793077250|duh|11 May 2020}}, in response to {{tweet|NoahBandito|1259681319392550912|So you're telling me the "Inteded Game Design" should actually be "Sorry, I was too lazy to code"?|11 May 2020}}</ref>
** Dimension-unique respawning was eventually implemented via the [[respawn anchor]], and gained command support at the same time. Despite this, beds and respawn anchors still explode in invalid dimensions.
* If the player quits the game while sleeping, upon return the player wakes up beside the bed.
* Using the {{cmd|teleport}} command while another player is sleeping still teleports the sleeping player, but the player wakes immediately.{{only|java}}
* If the player places a bed on [[ice]], running over the bed acts like running over ice, similar to slabs.
* When placed using the {{cmd|setblock}} command, only one half of a bed is placed, because beds are two blocks long. A single half can be slept in like a whole bed.
* Villagers can sleep in the Nether and the End without causing the bed to explode.<ref>{{bug|MC-146515}} Resolved as Works As Intended</ref>
* While the block state used to determine the half of a two-block block such as [[door]]s and double-tall [[flower]]s is called ''half'', in the case of beds this is called ''part''.
* Players and villagers do not drown or take damage from lava while in a bed, even if the bed is covered in lava.
*The red bed was the original default bed color. In [[Java Edition 1.12]] and [[Pocket Edition 1.1.0]] version of the game, the default color was changed to white.

==Usage==
{{Main|Suspicious Block}}
{{Control|Using}} the brush on any block displays a brushing animation, slowing down the player and creating breaking [[particles]], but not actually damaging the block or brush. When continuously brushing a [[suspicious block]], a random item slowly emerges from it until it drops out, and the block turns into regular [[sand]] or regular [[gravel]], depleting 1 [[durability]] point on the brush. It takes 96 [[game tick]]s (4.8 seconds) to brush a single suspicious block.
=== Enchantments ===
A brush can receive the following [[enchantment]]s:

== Appearance ==
This item is semi-transparent with a grey colour scheme.
== Obtaining ==
=== Dimension ===
Footprints were obtained only from a chest in the {{Code|missing}} dimension. Only existing in 2020 April fools snapshot 20w14∞, it cannot exist in any non-April Fool's joke versions and April Fool's joke versions before or after 20w14∞. There is a maximum of 2 footprints that can be obtained legitimately in any given world.
=== Cheats/Creative Mode ===
Despite these footprints not being available in the creative inventory, it is still possible to acquire them via the command {{Code|code=give <target> minecraft:footprint <amount>}} or duplicating them by holding down middle-click whilst in creative mode.
== Usage ==
As of snapshot 20w14∞, this item cannot be placed or used in any way other than a trophy. This item can be inserted and/or rotated inside of an item frame, and it has a stack limit of 64.
