Ancient debris is a rare mineral found in the Nether, and is the main source of netherite scraps. Its high blast resistance makes it immune to normal explosions. In item form, it floats on lava and cannot be burned by any form of fire.

Obtaining

Natural generation

Ancient debris spawn rate per layer; Y=15 has the most ancient debris. Average only.

Ancient debris generates in the Nether in the form of blobs. Up to two blobs may generate per chunk: one blob of 1–3 ancient debris attempts to generate with a periodic normal distribution (similarly to lapis lazuli ore) from levels 8 to 22, and an additional blob of 0–2 ancient debris attempts to generate randomly from levels 8 to 119. On average, Y-level 15 has the most ancient debris.

There is an average of 1.65 ancient debris blocks per chunk, with a normal maximum of 5. However, it is technically possible for up to 11 ancient debris to be found in a single chunk; adjacent chunks can generate blobs on the border with up to 2 blocks spawning in an adjacent chunk. As of Java Edition 1.16.5, on average they generate 1.56 blocks per chunk. Given this number, and that there are 32768 blocks in a chunk (16 * 128 * 16), there is approximately a 0.004% chance that any randomly selected block will be an ancient debris block.

Ancient debris never generates naturally exposed to air and can replace only netherrack, basalt, and blackstone. It may also generate alongside smaller pockets of lava.

Breaking

Ancient debris drops itself if mined by a diamond or netherite pickaxe. If mined by any other tool, it drops nothing.

The chance of being enchanted depends on the [[difficulty]], whether it is normal or hard. The enchantment level is equal to enchant level 5-22.

In order to use a bow, the player must have at least one [[arrow]] in their [[inventory]] or be in [[Creative]] mode. The arrow that is shown inside the bow always looks like a regular arrow, regardless of what kind of arrow is actually being shot from the bow.<ref>{{bug|MC-87685||Drawn bow texture does not reflect arrow that will be shot|WF}}</ref> When drawing a bow, the display zooms in slightly. Charging the bow to its maximum causes it to visually shake as an indicator. Releasing the button shoots an [[arrow]] if it is charged at least 15%. Drawing a bow can be canceled by switching to another hotbar slot while holding use. While the bow is being charged or remains fully charged, the player is forced to move at [[sneaking]] speed, unless they are riding a [[horse]], [[minecart]] or [[boat]], or flying with [[elytra]]. It is not possible to [[Sprinting|sprint]] while charging a bow or holding a drawn bow. When the bow is released, normal motion resumes although any prior sprint is cancelled. Sneaking while drawing the bow makes the player move even slower. If an arrow hits another player, the player that shoots the arrow hears a high-pitched "ding" sound.{{only|je}} Fully charged shots launch critical arrows which have a trail of [[particles]] behind them and deal up to <math display="inline">\left ( \frac{3x}{2} \right ) + 2</math>damage, where <math>x</math>is the damage after any enchantments. The listed values below describe maximum damage from a bow with no [[Power]] enchantments, assuming the target is at a distance where drag and gravity are negligible. However, the critical damage is likely to be more around 8-10; critical damage is added at a random value between <math>x</math>and <math display="inline">\left ( \frac{3x}{2} \right ) + 2</math> and it is rare to have minimum or maximum values. The damage dealt can ultimately be less than the maximum damage if the arrow slows down after being shot. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" data-description="Shot base damage by changing time" |- ! Charging time ! Maximum attack damage |- |{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''0.1 s'''}} (no charge) |{{hp|1}} |- |{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''0.2–0.9 s'''}} (medium charge) |{{hp|5}} |- |{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''1+ s'''}} (full charge) |{{hp|6}} |- |{{ItemSprite|Bow|text= '''1+ s'''}} (critical) |{{hp|11}} |- |} The game stores the damage of arrows even in values with a decimal point. For example, it is possible for a critical arrow shot to cause damage values such as 6.4. In this cases of a broken value, the game can round up or down and store the amount for subsequent damage sources. Any projectile thrown by the player is under the influence of momentum in current versions of ''Minecraft''. Naturally, the player's movement speed can be modified under a number of circumstances, affecting the ballistic trajectory of projectiles, and as a result, the damage inflicted by arrows. In [[Java Edition Combat Tests]], to avoid sniping, arrows shot from fully-charged bows become non-critical if held drawn back for longer than three seconds. Instantaneous effects on tipped arrows are scaled by 1/8, just like the duration of other effects. For example, Instant Damage I arrow will deal an additional {{hp|0.75}} magical damage. Damage caused by the arrow is not affected by the [[Strength]] effect. [[Endermen]] cannot be shot using an arrow, because the arrow either disappears as the enderman teleports, or it gets deflected. Even while immobile, the enderman is immune to damage from arrows. However, an arrow shot from a bow enchanted with [[Flame]] can ignite the enderman. === Crafting ingredient === {{crafting usage|Bow, Damaged Bow}} === Enchantments === Bows can receive several different [[enchantment]]s and have a base enchantability of 1. Bow enchantments have no effect on [[arrow]] speed or the distance it travels. In [[Bedrock Edition]], if a bow is enchanted with any level 1 enchantment, it always gets Power I.{{verify|This used to be in the trivia section.

Its vertical speed is modified by one block downward every second, resulting in a {{w|Parabola|parabolic}} flight path. An arrow slows down if shot through water, reducing its damage to near zero unless brought back into the air or otherwise given momentum.{{Only|Java}} Arrows that hit solid [[blocks]] become stuck and can be retrieved, unless the arrow was shot by a bow [[enchant]]ed with [[Infinity]], a player in Creative mode, or a mob. An arrow shot through [[lava]] ignites, giving it the effect of the [[Flame]] enchantment, igniting any entity it hits. If not extinguished, the fire inflicts up to {{hp|4}} damage. Although a [[wither skeleton]] does not spawn naturally with bows, if it holds a bow then it also shoots flaming arrows. On impact, an arrow can trigger a wooden [[pressure plate]], [[target]] block, [[wooden button]], or [[tripwire]]. Arrows cannot trigger stone pressure plates or stone buttons. The player can choose the type of arrow to shoot based on its location in the inventory. Arrows in the off-hand, or the selected hotbar slot if the bow is in the off-hand, are prioritized first. If there are no arrows in the off-hand or selected hotbar slot then the arrow closest to [[Inventory#Slots|slot 0]] is selected. Arrows shot by bows in [[Bedrock Edition]] has a slightly higher range than arrows shot by bows in [[Java Edition]]. ==Sounds== {{edition|java}}: {{Sound table |sound=Arrow hit1.ogg |sound2=Arrow hit2.ogg |sound3=Arrow hit3.ogg |sound4=Arrow hit4.ogg |subtitle=Arrow hits |source=neutral |description=When an arrow impacts something |id=entity.arrow.hit |translationkey=subtitles.entity.arrow.hit |volume=1.0 |pitch={{frac|12|11}}-{{frac|4|3}} |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Bow shoot.ogg |subtitle=Arrow fired |source=player |description=When a bow shoots an arrow |id=entity.arrow.shoot |translationkey=subtitles.entity.arrow.shoot |volume=1.0 |pitch={{frac|4|3}}-1.125 <ref group=sound>Depends on how long the bow has been charging. uncharged bows give {{frac|5|6}}-0.625</ref> |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Succesfull Hit.ogg |subtitle=Player hit |source=player |description=When an arrow shot by a player hits another player |id=entity.arrow.hit_player |translationkey=subtitles.entity.arrow.hit_player |volume=0.18 |pitch=0.45 |distance=16}} {{Sound table |sound=Random break.ogg |subtitle=Item breaks |source=player |description=When a bow's durability is exhausted |id=entity.item.break |translationkey=subtitles.entity.item.break |volume=0.8 |pitch=0.8-1.2 |distance=16 |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{Sound table |type=bedrock |sound=Arrow hit1.ogg |sound2=Arrow hit2.ogg |sound3=Arrow hit3.ogg |sound4=Arrow hit4.ogg |source=player |description=When an arrow impacts something |id=random.bowhit |volume=1.0 |pitch=1.09-1.3}} {{Sound table |sound=Bow shoot.ogg |source=player |description=When a bow shoots an arrow |id=random.bow |volume=1.0 |pitch=0.83-1.25}} {{Sound table |sound=Random break.ogg |source=player |description=When a bow's durability is exhausted |id=random.break |volume=1.0 |pitch=0.9 |foot=1}} ==Data values== ===ID=== {{edition|java}}: {{ID table |edition=java |showforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Bow |spritetype=item |nameid=bow |form=item |foot=1}} {{edition|bedrock}}: {{ID table |edition=bedrock |shownumericids=y |showforms=y |notshowbeitemforms=y |generatetranslationkeys=y |displayname=Bow |spritetype=item |nameid=bow |id=300 |form=item |foot=1}} ==Achievements== {{load achievements|Sniper Duel;Archer;Dispense with this;Bullseye}} ==Advancements== {{load advancements|Take Aim;Sniper Duel;Bullseye}} ==Video== <div style="text-align:center">{{yt|orNlaO12EQg}}</div> ==History== {{History|java classic}} {{History||June 14, 2009|link=https://notch.tumblr.com/post/123343045/my-vision-for-survival|[[Notch]] discussed how bows and [[arrow]]s would work in [[Survival]] mode: "Bows and arrows can be made out of wood.

Trivia

• Despite ancient debris' rarity, emerald ore is actually rarer; emerald ore has a lower spawn chance per chunk, and while ancient debris can appear in blobs as large as five in any Nether biome, emerald ore generates only as individual ore blocks in mountain biomes.
• The texture of the ancient debris is supposed to look like pressed metal plates.
• Ancient debris is actually what remains of the mining activity of the piglins, who extracted all the original netherite ore.
• It is possible to find blobs of up to 20 contiguous ancient debris - up to five debris can generate in a chunk, so if a blob of five generates in adjacent corners of four different chunks, a blob of 20 debris would be created.
• Despite having the same blast resistance as obsidian, ancient debris can be moved by pistons.
