Ancient City

Ancient City
Biomes	Deep dark
Consists of

An ancient city is a palatial structure found in the deep dark, harboring chests containing items that cannot be found anywhere else or that help a player avoid a warden.

Structure

Environment aesthetics

An ancient city features a very large palace that stretches throughout a deep dark biome. The palace is made up of long corridors with gray wool floors to prevent vibrations as well as some smaller ruins off to the side of the main corridors, which contain between one or two loot chests. The city center features a frame resembling a warden's head, where there are reinforced deepslate blocks, which is an unobtainable material in Survival mode. Other unique blocks such as soul lanterns and candles as well as different forms of deepslate can be found here.

History

October 16, 2021					Ancient cities are revealed at Minecraft Live 2021.
Upcoming Java Edition
1.19 {{Extension DPL}}<ul><li>[[Water Bucket|Water Bucket]]<br/>{{Item | title = Water Bucket | renewable = Yes | image = Water Bucket.png | stackable = No }} A '''water bucket''' is a [[bucket]] filled with [[water]]. == Obtaining == === Interacting === To fill an empty [[bucket]] with water, {{control|use}} it on a [[water]] source block. The water is consumed in the process. Flowing water does not fill a bucket. {{control|Using}} an empty bucket on a [[cauldron]] filled with water (water level 3) empties the cauldron and fills the bucket. Water buckets can also be filled by placing an empty one in the fuel slot of a [[furnace]], and a wet [[sponge]] into the oven slot. The bucket is filled when the [[smelting]] process completes, which also leaves the sponge dry and ready to be reused. === Chest Loot === {{LootChestItem|water-bucket}} == Usage == {{Control|Using}} a water bucket on a solid block places a water source block against that block, emptying the bucket; using a water bucket on a [[waterlogging|waterloggable]] block waterlogs the block. In [[the Nether]], however, the water evaporates, making a fire extinguishing sound and displays smoke particles while nothing gets placed. === Dispensers === A [[dispenser]] can be loaded with a water bucket, and when activated it places a water block directly before it, emptying the bucket. A dispenser loaded with an empty bucket and a water source right in front of it draws the source into the bucket when activated. === Cauldrons === A single water bucket can fill a [[cauldron]], and using an empty bucket on a water-filled cauldron fills the bucket. Empty buckets cannot be filled from partly-filled cauldrons. === Filling bucket with mobs === Water buckets can be used on a [[fish]], [[axolotl]] or [[tadpole]] to create a [[bucket of aquatic mob]]. === Transportation === {{main|Tutorials/Elevators#Water elevators}} Water buckets can be used as a means of quickly descending great heights in the [[Overworld]] and [[the End]], either by creating a waterfall or using the water bucket while falling to create a safe water landing. Water buckets can also be used to climb vertical surfaces anywhere but [[the Nether]] by repeatedly creating higher waterfalls from the bottom and swimming up them. == Sounds == {{el|je}}: {{Sound table |sound=Fill water bucket1.ogg |sound2=Fill water bucket2.ogg |sound3=Fill water bucket3.ogg |subtitle=Bucket fills |source=player |description=When a bucket is filled with water |id=item.bucket.fill |translationkey=subtitles.item.bucket.fill |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0 |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Empty water bucket1.ogg |sound2=Empty water bucket2.ogg |sound3=Empty water bucket3.ogg |subtitle=Bucket empties |source=block |description=When the bucket is placed |id=item.bucket.empty |translationkey=subtitles.item.bucket.empty |volume=1.0 <ref group=sound>Except for the second copy of {{cd|empty1}}, which is 0.9</ref> |pitch=1.0 |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{el|je}}: {{Sound table |type=bedrock |sound=Fill water bucket1.ogg |sound2=Fill water bucket2.ogg |sound3=Fill water bucket3.ogg |source=block |description=When a bucket is filled with water |id=bucket.fill_water |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0}} {{Sound table |sound=Empty water bucket1.ogg |sound2=Empty water bucket2.ogg |sound3=Empty water bucket3.ogg |source=block |description=When a water bucket is emptied |id=bucket.empty_water |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.0}} {{Sound table |rowspan=2 |sound=Water Splash Old.ogg |source=block |description=When a water bucket is placed in a cauldron<wbr><ref group=sound name=bucketsplash>{{Bug|MCPE-135919}}</ref> |id=cauldron.fillwater |volume=0.1 |pitch=1.0}} {{Sound table |source=block |description=When a water bucket is removed from a cauldron<wbr><ref group=sound name=bucketsplash/> |id=cauldron.takewater |volume=0.1 |pitch=1.0 |foot=1}} ==Data values== === ID === {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Water Bucket |spritetype=item |nameid=water_bucket |form=item |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |showaliasids=y |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Water Bucket |spritetype=item |nameid=water_bucket |aliasid=bucket / 8 |id=362 |form=item |translationkey=item.bucketWater.name |foot=1}} == Advancements == {{load advancements|Tactical fishing;The Cutest Predator;Bukkit bukkit}} ==History== {{History|java infdev}} {{History||20100615|[[File:Water Bucket JE1 BE1.png|32px]] Added water buckets.}} {{History|java alpha}} {{History||v1.2.6|{{control|use|text=Using}} a water bucket on [[block]]s with GUIs ([[chest]]s, [[furnace]]s, etc.) no longer places the water.}} {{History|java}} {{History||1.0.0|snap=Beta 1.9 Prerelease 2|Water buckets can now be used to fill [[cauldron]]s.}} {{History||1.3.1|snap=12w15a|[[Dispenser]]s have now been given the ability to dispense water buckets.

After it has been signed, it cannot be edited again. The label does not say "Written Book", but whatever the [[player]] titles it.

The contents of a book are an extra set of data attached to the item. This means that when a book is destroyed, its contents are lost with it. === Lecterns === One can place a [[written book]] on an empty [[lectern]]. The lectern then emits a redstone signal depending on the displayed page in the book.
